areaselector needs a new release now I have migrated to log4j2.

Fixed: ​https://github.com/JOSM/JOSM-areaselector/releases/tag/v2.1.1

Please update your plugins in a few minutes.

I updated and JOSM said it read it.
But I'm afraid that the same message continues.
I deleted/reinstalled it. Same message during that and afterwards.
The jar is in plugins, Status Report shows it in memory.
But, unless I keep goofing, I seem to no longer find its menu.

Should be ok with v2.1.2: ​https://github.com/JOSM/JOSM-areaselector/releases/tag/v2.1.2

I updated it, it stopped complaining, and I used it all-right now.
Thanks!
