| The Board recommendation to remove Javadoc author tags has been implemented. All author tags are now "Apache Software Foundation". | ggregory |
| The default URL encoding logic was broken. Fixes CODEC-25. Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski. | ggregory |
| Base64 chunked encoding not compliant with RFC 2045 section 2.1 CRLF. Fixes CODEC-31. Thanks to Gary D. Gregory. | ggregory |

| URLCodec: Implements the www-form-urlencoded encoding scheme. Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski. | tobrien |
| DigestUtils: Calculates MD5 and SHA digests. Thanks to Dave Dribin, David Graham. | tobrien |
| Modified Base64 to remedy non-compliance with RFC 2045. Non-Base64 characters were not being discarded during the decode. RFC 2045 explicitly states that all characters outside of the base64 alphabet are to be ignored. Fixes CODEC-26. Thanks to Brian Ewins. | tobrien |
| Hex.decode(Object) throws a ClassCastException when a String argument is passed in. Fixes CODEC-4. | ggregory |
| Soundex: The HW rule is not applied; hyphens and apostrophes are not ignored. Fixes CODEC-3. | ggregory |
| Soundex.setMaxLength causes bugs and is not needed. Calling Soundex.setMaxLength() with a value of 2 or less causes the wrong answer to be returned. Since the encoding returned by Soundex is always of length 4 by definition (we do not use the '-' in as a letter-nnn separator) the need for a maxLength attribute is not needed. Deprecate the field and accessor methods. Fixes CODEC-29. | ggregory |
