| 1 | +The commons-codec team is pleased to announce the Codec 1.3 release! |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/codec/ |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The codec package contains simple encoder and decoders for various formats |
| 6 | +such as Base64 and Hexadecimal. In addition to these widely used encoders and |
| 7 | +decoders, the codec package also maintains a collection of phonetic encoding |
| 8 | +utilities. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Changes in this version include: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + New Features: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +o BinaryCodec: Encodes and decodes binary to and from Strings of 0s and 1s. |
| 15 | + Issue: 27813. Thanks to Alex Karasulu. |
| 16 | +o QuotedPrintableCodec: Codec for RFC 1521 MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail |
| 17 | + Extensions) Part One. Rules #3, #4, and #5 of the quoted-printable spec are |
| 18 | + not implemented yet. See also issue 27789. Issue: 26617. Thanks to Oleg |
| 19 | + Kalnichevski. |
| 20 | +o BCodec: Identical to the Base64 encoding defined by RFC 1521 and allows a |
| 21 | + character set to be specified. Issue: 26617. Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski. |
| 22 | +o QCodec: Similar to the Quoted-Printable content-transfer-encoding defined |
| 23 | + in RFC 1521 and designed to allow text containing mostly ASCII characters |
| 24 | + to be decipherable on an ASCII terminal without decoding. Issue: 26617. |
| 25 | + Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski. |
| 26 | +o Soundex: Implemented the DIFFERENCE algorithm. Issue: 25243. Thanks to |
| 27 | + Matthew Inger. |
| 28 | +o RefinedSoundex: Implemented the DIFFERENCE algorithm. Issue: 25243. Thanks |
| 29 | + to Matthew Inger. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + Fixed bugs: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +o The default URL encoding logic was broken. Issue: 25995. Thanks to Oleg |
| 34 | + Kalnichevski. |
| 35 | +o Base64 chunked encoding not compliant with RFC 2045 section 2.1 CRLF. |
| 36 | + Issue: 27781. Thanks to Gary D. Gregory. |
| 37 | +o Hex converts illegal characters to 255. Issue: 28455. |
| 38 | +o Metaphone now correctly handles a silent B in a word that ends in MB. |
| 39 | + "COMB" is encoded as "KM", before this fix "COMB" was encoded as "KMB". |
| 40 | + Issue: 28457. |
| 41 | +o Added missing tags in Javadoc comments. |
| 42 | +o General Javadoc improvements. |
| 43 | + |

| 47 | + LICENSE.txt. Previous versions were released under the Apache License 1.1. |
| 48 | +o The Board recommendation to remove Javadoc author tags has been |
| 49 | + implemented. All author tags are now "Apache Software Foundation". |
