Hi, I have checked commons-codec 1.3. For reasons I do not know, the ClientServerXmlRpcTest fails when invoked from within Ant. (The same test works fine outside Ant.)
My personal believe is, that getting 2.0 out of the box is more important. In other words, I suggest to defer the update to 2.1. Jochen -- Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, its too dark to read. (Groucho Marx)
