This hasn't been used for a long time.
Deleted all methods that refer to this, and removed the field from the test XML file (somehow this was missed) as well.
Regenerated jars - because we no longer write a boolean to indicate whether we have the possible number pattern or not all the java metadata files needed regenerating too.
Deleted some data from the js phone metadata implementation that isn't used by js as well (national number matcher pattern)
This enum won't be noticed by most users, because the country_code_source field of the phone number is only populated with ParseAndKeepRawInput, and in this case, this enum won't be used.
However, it provides a better result for users who incorrectly call parse() and then getCountryCodeSource() and expect to get a sensible answer; now they will get UNSPECIFIED instead of FROM_NUMBER_WITH_PLUS_SIGN which was the default before. In JS this method returns null, but getCountryCodeSourceOrDefault() will now return UNSPECIFIED instead.
The numeric values of the existing enums have not changed (relevant for JS and C++) and in Java the new enum was added to the end so that any stored serialized phone numbers should be able to be restored as they were before.
Suggested in issue #1218
* It was confusing and unnecessary. Not every country that has short numbers beginning with a 0 had it, and it is not the only digit that could overlap with a national prefix and hence be interpreted incorrectly.
* Make canBeInternationallyDialled_API public in Java and CPP
* update notes in pending_code_changes.txt
* Remove TODO on canBeInternationallyDialled as it is already an public API in JS
* Make JS canBeInternationallyDialled API doc consistent with Java and CPP
* Handling possible out-of-bounds exception that would be thrown in C++
and Java if a number with a phone-context tag is entered (RFC3966
format) but no actual phone context.
Update doc references to refer to CLDR and the page of CLDR codes where
appropriate - it used to say ISO country codes were used, but they aren't.
Also updated to refer to two *or three* letter language codes since they may be three letters (we use the shortest defined one for a language)
Updating comments about leadingDigits field at territory level as well.
* isNumberMatch fix for numbers with italian leading zero fields set. Only
affects people who haven't correctly constructed phone numbers using
methods like 'parse'.
* Adding C++ tests and fixing bug in ExactlySameAs method, which wasn't
updated to handle the number_of_leading_zeros field when that was added
to the phone number proto.
See pending_code_changes.txt for more details.
* Support semicolon as extension character while parsing
* Add notes to pending_code_changes.txt
* JS port: Support semicolon as extension character while parsing
* Update comments in phonenumberutil.js
Metadata changes:
-- Drops the "-1" that was erroneously included in possible lengths before (didn't break anything, but was wrong) - it was a possibleLength of a sub-component so got added to the generalDesc possibleLengths
-- possibleNumberPattern no longer inherited: we don't use this anyway, we will do another CL soon to stop including it at all in the generated metadata
-- exampleNumber is no longer set on fixed-line and mobile elements from the generalDesc
XML file changes:
-- Stopped specifying "NA" and "-1" specifically for fixed-line and mobile blocks; now they are treated as every other type of phone number: if missing, don't fill them in from generalDesc, but leave them missing.
Code changes:
-- Stop using the exampleNumber on generalDesc for non-geo entities, but look at their phonenumber descs - the exampleNumber won't be stored on the generalDesc anymore. This affects porters if they either copied our build logic or used our built metadata in some way; they should update this method in their port too.
