+ 966 (ar, en), 1 (en)
+
+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,

+ 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

+ in half.
