[codec] Base64.decodeBase64(byte[]) behaves differently in
commons.codec 1.3 vs 1.4
Hi
we switched this week from using commons codec 1.3 to 1.4 and
discovered a bug in our code.
we are using it like that:
String enc = "1";
Base64.decodeBase64(enc.getBytes())
in v 1.3 this would return [0]
in v 1.4 this returns [] which caused a problem in our code.
Looking at the changes from 1.3 to 1.4 I didn't see one relating to
such a behaviour change. Is this intentional? Was the old behaviour a
bug in 1.3 and changing it in v 1.4 fixed it?

At a glance, this might be related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-91
