Nimbus JOSE + JWT 2.24

Android developers can rejoice about the new 2.24 release of the Nimbus JOSE + JWT library. It removes the Apache Commons Codec dependency for base 64 and base 64 URL-safe encoding / decoding, by switching to an internal codec (derived from the migbase64 project). This should greatly ease use of the library on Android devices where the dependency used to conflict with the built-in Commons Codec version.

Thanks to everyone who contributed with patches and suggestions … and endured the long wait for this :-)

The new release should reach Maven Central by the end of today. Alternatively, you can get a copy of the library JAR from the download section of the git repo.
