  * Encodes and decodes to and from Base64 notation.
- * 
+ *
  * <p>
  * Change Log:
  * </p>
  * <ul>
- * <li>v2.1 - Cleaned up javadoc comments and unused variables and methods.
- * Added some convenience methods for reading and writing to and from files.</li>
- * <li>v2.0.2 - Now specifies UTF-8 encoding in places where the code fails on
- * systems with other encodings (like EBCDIC).</li>
- * <li>v2.0.1 - Fixed an error when decoding a single byte, that is, when the
- * encoded data was a single byte.</li>
- * <li>v2.0 - I got rid of methods that used booleans to set options. Now
- * everything is more consolidated and cleaner. The code now detects when data
- * that's being decoded is gzip-compressed and will decompress it automatically.
- * Generally things are cleaner. You'll probably have to change some method
- * calls that you were making to support the new options format (<tt>int</tt>s
- * that you "OR" together).</li>
- * <li>v1.5.1 - Fixed bug when decompressing and decoding to a byte[] using
- * <tt>decode( String s, boolean gzipCompressed )</tt>. Added the ability to
- * "suspend" encoding in the Output Stream so you can turn on and off the
- * encoding if you need to embed base64 data in an otherwise "normal" stream
- * (like an XML file).</li>
- * <li>v1.5 - Output stream pases on flush() command but doesn't do anything
- * itself. This helps when using GZIP streams. Added the ability to
- * GZip-compress objects before encoding them.</li>
- * <li>v1.4 - Added helper methods to read/write files.</li>
- * <li>v1.3.6 - Fixed OutputStream.flush() so that 'position' is reset.</li>
- * <li>v1.3.5 - Added flag to turn on and off line breaks. Fixed bug in input
- * stream where last buffer being read, if not completely full, was not
- * returned.</li>
- * <li>v1.3.4 - Fixed when "improperly padded stream" error was thrown at the
- * wrong time.</li>
- * <li>v1.3.3 - Fixed I/O streams which were totally messed up.</li>
