- Bug fix: NANP toll-free numbers corrected. 833 area code now supported,
and regex fixed to only match when the B and C digits are the same, so
800 is toll-free, 888 is toll-free, but 808 is not. See
https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Number-Phone/issues/110
- Bug fix: NANP 1-600 area code is non-geographic. See
https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Number-Phone/issues/113
- Workaround: OFCOM have the wrong number length for the +44 800 716 range,
we now have an egregious hack to work around that. See
https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Number-Phone/issues/112
- No longer auto-tested on 5.10 because a 'make test'-time dependency (Test::Deep)
no longer supports that.

- Tweak build to use more compatible options to tar(1) so some really old tars
can read the archive correctly
3.8000 2021-09-19
- Bugfix for numbers in local format which may be ambiguous for UK Crown Dependencies
when using Number::Phone::Lib
- Bugfix for when you ask for an object representing a number in one country
but provide a number for a different country. This mostly affects countries
that contain other jurisdictions squatting on parts of their number plan,
such as the Vatican in the Italian plan, and the Crown Dependencies in the UK
plan. It is now an error to ask for an object representing a number in a
'sub-country' which isn't valid in that sub-country (eg asking for a Jersey
object but passing a Guernsey number); but if you ask for an object representing
the 'super-country' but pass a 'sub-country' number you'll still get an object
representing the sub-country. ie, say "gimme a GB object for this 'ere Guernsey number"
and you'll get a Guernsey object.

Yugoslavia (ISO 3166 has been updated)

doesn't just assume a NANP number is US if it's
not assigned to another country

2004-09-22 1.2 Oops, forgot to add is_ipphone to docs for N::P::UK
last time.
Updated N::P::UK::Data with some new number ranges.

N::P::UK::Data has appropriate data in it, as
OFCOM have this week publishedthe allocations they
made a few weeks ago.
Removed is_voip() alias, it didn't work properly
under all the possible ways of invoking it.
