Daniel Fernández commented on CODEC-89:
---------------------------------------
I am the lead developer of Jasypt [http://www.jasypt.org], which uses this
wonderful Commons-Codec library as a dependency. Base64 is the default encoding
for encrypted output in Jasypt.
This issue is of an inmense importance to Jasypt. If my vote makes any
difference, please, go back to the 1.3 behaviour ASAP, as this is breaking
compatibiliy of encrypted texts for many of our users and not allowing them to
use an up-to-date version of commons-codec. I would be forced to remove
commons-codec from jasypt's dependency list if this bug is not solved soon :-(
Thanks.
Daniel.

> Key: CODEC-89

> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Julius Davies

>
> The instance encode() method (e.g. new Base64().encode()) appends a CRLF.
> Actually it's fully chunking the output into 76 character lines.
> Commons-Codec-1.3 did not do this. The static Base64.encodeBase64() method
> behaves the same in both 1.3 and 1.4, so this problem only affects the
> instance encode() method.
