equals and equalsIgnoreCase are both using regex improperly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. StringUtils.equals turns arg1 into a regex and tests for inclusion in arg2.  
This will return true if arg1 is a prefix of arg2.
Also will fail if arg1 contains periods or other regular expression 
meta-characters.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

StringUtils.equals("HI", "HI MOM") returns true.
should return false.

Hi,

This issue was fixed in version 0.2.1 (24.03.2010)
Is upgrading to a newer version an option?

Cheers,

Bert
