              Apache Apache Commons Codec 1.13 RELEASE NOTES

The Apache Commons Codec package contains simple encoder and decoders for
various formats such as Base64 and Hexadecimal.  In addition to these
widely used encoders and decoders, the codec package also maintains a
collection of phonetic encoding utilities.

Feature and fix release.

Changes in this version include:

New features:
o CODEC-236:  MurmurHash2 for 32-bit or 64-bit value. Thanks to Viliam Holub.
o CODEC-236:  MurmurHash3 for 32-bit or 128-bit value. Thanks to Austin Appleby.

Fixed Bugs:
o CODEC-255:  ColognePhonetic handles x incorrectly Thanks to Holger Grote.
o CODEC-254:  ColognePhonetic does not treat the letter H correctly Thanks to Holger Grote.
o CODEC-134:  Reject any decode request for a value that is impossible to encode to for Base32/Base64 rather than blindly decoding.

Changes:
o CODEC-236:  Broken direct java.nio.ByteBuffer support in org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex. Thanks to Tomas Shestakov, Gary Gregory.
