=====================
 What's new in 5.9b1
=====================

The codebase now supports Python 2.5-2.7 and Python 3.x out of the box, without
needing 2to3 conversion.

The top-level module no longer exports the following functions:
 - country_name_for_number
 - description_for_number
 - description_for_valid_number
These functions now need to be imported via the phonenumbers.geocoder submodule.

The short number functions have been renamed:
 - is_possible_short_number_object becomes is_possible_short_number
 - is_possible_short_number becomes is_possible_short_number_for_object
 - is_valid_short_number_object becomes is_valid_short_number
 - is_valid_short_number becomes is_valid_short_number_for_object
 - expected_cost becomes expected_cost_for_region, and there's a new expected_cost
   function that takes a PhoneNumber object.
