| The commons-codec team is pleased to announce the Codec 1.3 release! |
| |
| http://commons.apache.org/codec/ |
| |
| The codec package contains simple encoder and decoders for various formats |
| such as Base64 and Hexadecimal. In addition to these widely used encoders and |
| decoders, the codec package also maintains a collection of phonetic encoding |
| utilities. |
| |
| Changes in this version include: |
| |
| New Features: |
| |
| o BinaryCodec: Encodes and decodes binary to and from Strings of 0s and 1s. |
| Issue: 27813. Thanks to Alex Karasulu. |
| o QuotedPrintableCodec: Codec for RFC 1521 MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail |
| Extensions) Part One. Rules #3, #4, and #5 of the quoted-printable spec are |
| not implemented yet. See also issue 27789. Issue: 26617. Thanks to Oleg |
| Kalnichevski. |
| o BCodec: Identical to the Base64 encoding defined by RFC 1521 and allows a |
| character set to be specified. Issue: 26617. Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski. |
| o QCodec: Similar to the Quoted-Printable content-transfer-encoding defined |
| in RFC 1521 and designed to allow text containing mostly ASCII characters |
| to be decipherable on an ASCII terminal without decoding. Issue: 26617. |
| Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski. |
| o Soundex: Implemented the DIFFERENCE algorithm. Issue: 25243. Thanks to |
| Matthew Inger. |
| o RefinedSoundex: Implemented the DIFFERENCE algorithm. Issue: 25243. Thanks |
| to Matthew Inger. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| |
| o The default URL encoding logic was broken. Issue: 25995. Thanks to Oleg |
| Kalnichevski. |
| o Base64 chunked encoding not compliant with RFC 2045 section 2.1 CRLF. |
| Issue: 27781. Thanks to Gary D. Gregory. |
| o Hex converts illegal characters to 255. Issue: 28455. |
| o Metaphone now correctly handles a silent B in a word that ends in MB. |
| "COMB" is encoded as "KM", before this fix "COMB" was encoded as "KMB". |
| Issue: 28457. |
| o Added missing tags in Javadoc comments. |
| o General Javadoc improvements. |
| |
| Changes: |
| |
| o This version is relesed under the Apache License 2.0 , please see |
| LICENSE.txt. Previous versions were released under the Apache License 1.1. |
| o The Board recommendation to remove Javadoc author tags has been |
| implemented. All author tags are now "Apache Software Foundation". |
| |
| Have fun! |
