Is there a reason the Base64 support in 1.8.20 doesn't have an option to omit padding? The RFC allows it (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4648#section-3.2) and some other specifications like OAuth PKCE require it (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7636#section-3).

Where is the stdlib API doc for this?

[Niels van Velzen]

It's in the "What's new" page, https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew1820.html#support-for-base64-encoding

Do you need the no-padding way?

I am pleased to inform you that in Kotlin 2.0.20, Base64 padding can be configured: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/base64/proposals/stdlib/base64.md#padding-options
