Description gareth 2009-06-29 08:40:34 UTC 
std.base64 should use ubyte[] not char[] for binary data - since char[] is for unicode.
Comment 1 Vladimir Panteleev 2012-02-18 03:03:40 UTC 
Phobos2's std.base64 was rewritten in 2010 by Masahiro Nakagawa. The new version doesn't have this problem.

Fixing this in Phobos1 would be a breaking change. I think we can close this bug.
