v8.3.0

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:

• Two new ValidationResult enum values have been added, which in a future release will be returned by isPossibleNumberWithReason. Please see this thread on the mailing list for a thorough explanation of changes you might need to make if you use this method.
• isNumberMatch has been improved to better compare numbers which weren't created purely by calling "parse" as recommended.
• C++ only changes: the maximum allowed length for a national significant number was increased to 17 for parity with Java, and the method ExactlySameAs to compare two phone number protos was fixed to also consider the number_of_leading_zeros field.

Full details in the release notes.

Note if you take advantage of the new enums 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!
