Hello,
I saw your message on commons-dev and made a mental note to look into
it, since I incorporated Base64 from commons-codec about a year ago.
Quick answer: hey cool, no more meaningless exception to catch!
Codec is only used currently in HEAD, and we haven't even released an
alpha of 2.0
Ryan,
Thanks, nice research/write up. [I am copying Gump to keep a centralized
archive, and I'll try to post a blog entry once complete.]
So, theoretically the new code will still run against codec 1.12 (no
signatures have explicitly changed), it just won't compile against it (seems
reasonable).
