GitHub project changes:
- Changed tag to vX.Y.Z from libphonenumber-X.Y.Z; this may affect ports and
derived projects.
Metadata structure changes in XML file:
- Mobile and Fixed-Line blocks are no longer assumed to inherit missing data
from the GeneralDesc, but are treated like every other phone number type.
This means that for the non-geographical country codes, like +800, the
example number has been moved from generalDesc to the relevant number types,
and the code in getExampleNumberForNonGeoEntity has been changed to look at
these sub-types for an example number.
This also means that the "NA" and "-1" blocks present in the metadata to
indicate that no mobile or fixed-line numbers appear for the entity have been
removed.
There should no longer be an exampleNumber at the generalDesc level, but it
should be present at every PhoneNumberDesc with data.
Code changes:
- Using new possibleLengthInfo to decide whether a short number is the right
length or not. This could result in more specific results; whereas before, a
number from length 3 to length 6 may have been deemed possible, now we may
exclude a number of length 5.
- Add hash () as a diallable character. Numbers with in them will no longer
have formatting applied in formatInOriginalFormat, and
normalizeDiallableCharsOnly now retains the symbol.
- getExampleNumberForNonGeoEntity has been changed to look at the specific
number types, not just the generalDesc, for the example numbers; this is a
necessary change after the metadata structure change detailed above.

Sep 27, 2016: libphonenumber-7.7.1
Build changes:
- OSGi support added to Manifest information when building jar (1300)
- BuildMetadataJsonFromXml changed to output possible lengths for JS build
- Fix geocoding file generation to handle language codes that are not just
two letters long properly and to process filenames in the same order.
Code changes:
- Switching the internal implementation of isPossible and related functions
to use the new possibleLengths metadata. This affects a lot of countries,
making isPossible more restrictive as more precise data is available. It
also affects parsing ambiguous and invalid numbers, as we decide whether
to strip a possible national prefix (1) or country code based on the length
of the number and whether it is possible before or after this.
- Formatting, naming (LOGGER -> logger) and comment tweaks to follow style
guide
- Removal of unneeded canBeGeocoded method in the
PhoneNumberToTimeZonesMapper.java, using phoneNumberUtil instead
Metadata changes:

Sep 19, 2016: libphonenumber-7.7.0
Code changes:
- Removed the dependency on protobuf (protobuf-javanano) from the Java library,
resurrecting
java/libphonenumber/src/com/google/i18n/phonenumbers/Phonemetadata.java
which was present until libphonenumber-7.1.1.
Does not affect the C++ or JavaScript libraries.
Sep 07, 2016: libphonenumber-7.6.1
Code changes:
- Phonemetadata.java has two more fields to represent possible lengths of phone
numbers. Changed BuildMetadataFromXml (and the resultant jar) to alter the way
that metadata about possible-lengths information is consumed when constructing
metadata to populate these.

Sep 2, 2013: libphonenumber-5.8
* Code changes:
- Renamed ShortNumberUtil to ShortNumberInfo -> the former class is now deprecated and will be
deleted in a later release. At the moment it just delegates to ShortNumberInfo.
- New methods in the ShortNumberInfo API - isCarrierSpecific, singleton interface,
isPossibleShortNumber, isValidShortNumber, getShortNumberCost. Note this is an experimental API
at the moment and subject to change.
- Bug fixes:
-- AsYouTypeFormatting: 3-digit numbers can be formatted as a group where appropriate
-- AsYouTypeFormatting: Countries with an optional national prefix were considered before to
have always entered it, resulting in bugs where numbers without the national prefix were
not properly formatted.
-- Numbers in Chile that overlap with emergency numbers are no longer marked as connecting to
them
-- Not requiring the NDC to be alone for countries where there is no national prefix in strict
grouping when extracting phone numbers

Aug 8, 2013: libphonenumber-5.7.1
* Metadata/code changes:
- Change to the way the metadata is built; now only parts of the proto that are relevant will be
generated. This means short-code data won't be generated for the normal protos, and fixed-line
data won't be generated for short-number protos. This cuts the metadata binary size approximately
in half.

or other of the numbers provided do not match.
- New number-type UAN now supported in the code. This represents Company Numbers or Universally
Accessible Numbers.
* Metadata changes:
