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.

We remove 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.

* [maven-release-plugin] prepare for next development iteration

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. Discussion list email: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/libphonenumber-discuss/75TOpTFVi08

Metadata changes:

* Updated phone metadata for region code(s): AG, AM, AX, BY, CD, FI, IN, KR, MA, NA, NL, PK, SY
* Updated short number metadata for region code(s): BR, GB, NL, NZ
* New geocoding data for country calling code(s): 82 (pl, pt, ro, ru, sl, sr, uk, vi)

Aug 24, 2016: libphonenumber-7.6.0
Code changes:

Refactored metadata loading and closed all streams after loading.
Made isNumberGeographical public, and changed the geocoder to use this when checking whether to give a detailed answer or country-level only.
Build changes:

Use protobuf-javanano 3.0.0-alpha-7 from Maven Central.
Metadata changes:

Updated phone metadata for region code(s): EH, ET, JM, MA, SK, SN, SY, ZM
Updated short number metadata for region code(s): ZA
Updated geocoding data for country calling code(s): 212 (en)
New carrier data for country calling code(s): 86 (zh, zh_Hant), 852 (zh, zh_Hant), 963 (en)
Updated carrier data for country calling code(s): 86 (en), 212 (en), 251 (en), 421 (en)
Deleted unsupported SingleFilePhoneNumberMetadataProto

Making function IsNumberGeographical public. This function operates on
the type of number and the country it belongs to only, so may have some
false positives.

Using this in the geocoder so that geocoding now limited to numbers that
we consider geographical, based on their type and country, rather than
just based on their type. The C++ geocoder did not previously check the
number type/country at all.

Indonesian and Chinese mobile numbers have now been added to the list of
possibly-geographical numbers.
