Sebb updated CODEC-220:
-----------------------
Description:
DigestUtils is starting to get a bit unwieldy with so many similar static
methods.
One approach would be to use a Fluent approach (method chaining).
e.g. DigestUtils.with("My-Digest").digestHex(File f);
There would only need to be digest,digestHex and update instance methods for
the different input types, currently byte, ByteBuffer, InputStream, File.
Whereas at present these are repeated for each digest type.
