1Nov 23, 2016: v7.7.5 2Code changes: 3 - Removing all references to possible_number_pattern other than the proto 4 buffer itself (and derived files, or hand-crafted files based on it.) This 5 information is no longer present in the binary. 6 - Refactored metadata loading and removed synchronization for all kinds of 7 metadata. Clients may experience quicker loading of alternate formats and 8 short number metadata, but no change is required for callers of the library. 9 - Reduced visibility of `public` internal API 10 `PhoneNumberUtil.createInstance(MetadataSource)` to `private`. MetadataSource 11 and all its implementations are non-public so this should not affect public 12 usage of the library. 13Metadata changes: 14 - Updated phone metadata for region code(s): 15 BB, BD, ES, HN, IN, KR, KW, MC, NL, PH, PK, SH, TW, VG, ZW 16 - Updated short number metadata for region code(s): 17 AF, AG, AM, AR, AW, AZ, BD, BM, BQ, BW, CD, CI, CM, CO, CW, DZ, GD, GE, GN, 18 GT, GY, HN, HT, IE, IN, IQ, JM, JO, KE, KG, KH, KW, LV, NO, SG, SV, UY 19 - Updated geocoding data for country calling code(s): 504 (en) 20 - New carrier data for country calling code(s): 886 (en), 1284 (en) 21 - Updated carrier data for country calling code(s): 63 (en), 92 (en) 22 23Nov 09, 2016: v7.7.4 24GitHub project changes: 25 - Changed tag to vX.Y.Z from libphonenumber-X.Y.Z; this may affect ports and 26 derived projects. 27Metadata structure changes in XML file: 28 - Mobile and Fixed-Line blocks are no longer assumed to inherit missing data 29 from the GeneralDesc, but are treated like every other phone number type. 30 This means that for the non-geographical country codes, like +800, the 31 example number has been moved from generalDesc to the relevant number types, 32 and the code in getExampleNumberForNonGeoEntity has been changed to look at 33 these sub-types for an example number. 34 This also means that the "NA" and "-1" blocks present in the metadata to 35 indicate that no mobile or fixed-line numbers appear for the entity have been 36 removed. 37 There should no longer be an exampleNumber at the generalDesc level, but it 38 should be present at every PhoneNumberDesc with data. 39Code changes: 40 - Using new possibleLengthInfo to decide whether a short number is the right 41 length or not. This could result in more specific results; whereas before, a 42 number from length 3 to length 6 may have been deemed possible, now we may 43 exclude a number of length 5. 44 - Add hash (#) as a diallable character. Numbers with # in them will no longer 45 have formatting applied in formatInOriginalFormat, and 46 normalizeDiallableCharsOnly now retains the # symbol. 47 - getExampleNumberForNonGeoEntity has been changed to look at the specific 48 number types, not just the generalDesc, for the example numbers; this is a 49 necessary change after the metadata structure change detailed above. 50Metadata changes: 51 - Updated phone metadata for region code(s): AD, AE, IN, IR, MU, MV, NG, PG 52 - Updated short number metadata for region code(s): NL, SN 53 - New geocoding data for country calling code(s): 54 960 (en), 1249 (en), 1343 (en), 1579 (en), 1581 (en) 55 - Updated geocoding data for country calling code(s): 56 1782 (en), 1867 (en), 1902 (en) 57 - Updated carrier data for country calling code(s): 58 91 (en), 234 (en), 971 (en) 59 60Oct 26, 2016: libphonenumber-7.7.3 61Internal changes: 62 - Fixed Phonemetadata.java not to merge from a NumberFormat's unset bool 63 national_prefix_optional_when_formatting. 64 - Added MetadataFilter, an internal API which is under development and subject 65 to backwards-incompatible changes without notice or guarantees. 66Metadata changes: 67 - Updated phone metadata for region code(s): 68 882, AG, AI, AS, BB, BM, BR, BS, CA, DM, DO, GD, GU, HU, IN, JM, KN, KY, KZ, 69 LC, MP, MS, PR, SX, TC, TR, TT, UG, US, VC, VG, VI 70 - Updated short number metadata for region code(s): UY 71 - New geocoding data for country calling code(s): 1463 (en), 358 (sv) 72 - Removed geocoding data for country calling code(s): 358 (se) 73 - Updated geocoding data for country calling code(s): 7 (en, ru) 74 - Updated carrier data for country calling code(s): 75 91 (en), 256 (en), 1876 (en) 76 77Oct 06, 2016: libphonenumber-7.7.2 78Code changes: 79 - Stop setting empty preferred_domestic_carrier_code, and if we are passed such 80 a number then treat the empty field as if unset. 81Metadata changes: 82 - Updated phone metadata for region code(s): CL, FR, KE, MU, NG 83 - Updated short number metadata for region code(s): 84 EC, EE, EG, EH, ER, ES, ET, FI, FJ, FK, FM, FO, FR, OM, PA, PE, PF, PG, PH, 85 PK, PL, PM, PR, PT, PW, PY, QA, RE, RO, RS, RU, RW, SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SG, 86 SH, SI, SJ, SK, SL, SM, SN, SO, SR, ST, SV, SX, SY, SZ, TC, TD, TG, TH, TJ, 87 TL, TM, TN, TO, TR, TT, TV, TW, TZ, UA, UG, US, UY, UZ, VA, VC, VE, VG, VI, 88 VN, VU, WF, WS, YE, YT, ZA, ZM, ZW 89 - Updated geocoding data for country calling code(s): 56 (en, es) 90 - Updated carrier data for country calling code(s): 91 230 (en), 234 (en), 254 (en) 92 93Sep 27, 2016: libphonenumber-7.7.1 94Build changes: 95 - OSGi support added to Manifest information when building jar (#1300) 96 - BuildMetadataJsonFromXml changed to output possible lengths for JS build 97 - Fix geocoding file generation to handle language codes that are not just 98 two letters long properly and to process filenames in the same order. 99Code changes: 100 - Switching the internal implementation of isPossible and related functions 101 to use the new possibleLengths metadata.
