  - Fix: archiving won't work when a there is a date in the filename
  - Fix: archiving not working properly with AsyncWrapper
  - Fix: Footer for archiving
  - Fix: Crashes with relative path without `${basedir}`
  - Fix: Archive files are never created when there are lot of write in log file
- NetworkTarget: fix possible deadlock
- Fix autoreload nlog.config with parent configs.
- WebServiceTarget: Fix HTTP GET protocol
- Bugfix: Internallogger creates folder, even when turned off
- Fix possible Nullref in `${variable}`
- `${processtime}`: incorrect milliseconds formatting
- `${processtime}`: fix incorrect negative time (rounding issue)
- FileTarget: Fix writing log files to root dir
- Check for TimeToSleepBetweenBatches in AsyncWrapper
