> Given that this does not support whitespace and padding characters (unlike Base32/64) then this should be added to the Javadoc header. Okay I have added a bit more information to the Javadoc header. > I am unsure why you want to restrict the decoding to be case sensitive. Base32 and java.lang.Character will decode mixed upper and lower case hex characters. It is restricted because I am following the RFC, and the RFC specified an upper-case alphabet. The lower-case support which I added is an extension of the RFC, but it should not be (and is not) enabled by default, otherwise for those expecting "standard" behaviour the results may be unexpected. The constructor allows you to choose the case. I have also now made this more explicit in the Javadoc. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
