[Gary Gregory <gg...@apache.org>]

Hello All:

This is a VOTE to release Commons Codec 1.8-RC2.

Commons Codec 1.8 requires a minimum of Java 1.6

Changes from 1.8-RC1 are:

o Set the correct version for the Ant build in default.properties
o Fix URLs in NOTICE.txt file and Java source for ASpell.

Changes in this version include:

New features:
o CODEC-168:  Add DigestUtils.updateDigest(MessageDigest, InputStream).
Thanks to Daniel Cassidy.
o CODEC-167:  Add JUnit to test our decode with pad character in the middle.
o CODEC-161:  Add Match Rating Approach (MRA) phonetic algorithm encoder.
Thanks to crice.

Fixed Bugs:
o CODEC-163:  ColognePhonetic encoder unnecessarily creates many char
arrays on every loop run. Thanks to leo141.
o CODEC-160:  Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString doesn't add padding
characters at the end.

This VOTE is open for at least 72 hours until April 19 2013 at 11:00 PM EST.
