v8.4.0

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:

• New API methods: isPossibleNumberForType and isPossibleNumberForTypeWithReason, along with getSupportedTypesForRegion and getSupportedTypesForNonGeoEntity. These allow you to query which types (e.g. Mobile) exist for a particular region, and work out if a number is possible for that type (this is a simple length check) rather than for the region as a whole. This allows for more accurate checks than with the existing API isPossibleNumber which considered lengths of all supported types in a region (e.g. mobile, voicemail, fixed-line, etc.).

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!
