| Version 1.1 |
| Release Notes |
| |
| |
| INTRODUCTION: |
| |
| This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons |
| Codec package, and highlights changes since the previous version. Version |
| 1.1 is the first official release of Codec. Numerous projects had been |
| depending on Version 1.0-dev while Codec was in the Sandbox, and backwards |
| compatibility has been preserved to ease the transition to this official |
| release. |
| |
| NEW FEATURES: |
| |
| * A newer version of the Base64 class reflecting improvements from |
| both the commons-httpclient and xml-rpc versions of code forked |
| from catalina. |
| * Base64 class from commons-httpclient in org.apache.commons.codec.base64 |
| has been retained for backwards compatibility but has been deprecated |
| * Soundex class from commons-util in org.apache.commons.codec |
| * Metaphone class from commons-util in org.apache.commons.codec |
| * RefinedSoundex class in org.apache.commons.codec |
| * Encoder/Decoder interfaces in org.apache.commons |
| * String and Binary specific Encoder/Decoder interfaces in |
| org.apache.commons |
| * StringEncoderComparator replaces the SoundexComparator from the |
| language package. |
| |
| BUG FIXES: |
| |
| * Base64 now discards whitespace characters when decoding encoded |
| content. |
