Description

Since Santuario 2.1.0, due to the switch to use the java.util.Base64 Mime Encoder, newline characters are always emitted in BASE-64 content, even if the "org.apache.xml.security.ignoreLineBreaks" system property is set to true. Instead, we should not emit newline characters when this system property is set, to provide consistency with previous versions and also to avoid potential interop problems with other distributions.
