Hi all,

Please find the new JARs on the maven site here.

The new release contains metadata changes and some code changes. Upgrading to the latest release is always encouraged since phone number information changes often!

New functionality in this release:

  • PhoneNumberUtil.canBeInternationallyDialled() API is made public (in Java and C++) now as it is useful for clients if they want to make sure they only allow internationally-accessible numbers for a particular use-case. In JavaScript this API was already public.

Porters only:

  • There was a change in the representation of metadata which only affects ports which use the compiled metadata instead of the .xml files. If you use BuildMetadataFromXml.java or the generated metadata files (e.g. PhoneNumberMetadataProto_AD), please see the separate announcement for more details.

Full details in the release notes.

Note if you take advantage of this new functionality by changing your code, it will not necessarily be trivially easy to roll back to a previous version.

Thanks to all those who contributed by providing issue reports!
