VERSION 3.27 (2013-09-03; sbeck)
NEW CODE(s)
* FIPS-10 country codes removed
As of June, the FIPS codes are not being published in their
entirety. Only changes to the codes are published. This adds
a huge layer of complexity to maintaining the set, which is not
worth doing considering that the set is deprecated. As such, the
code set is no longer supported.

FIPS-10 country codes deprecated
The FIPS-10 document is being withdrawn. It was deprecated in 2008,
and is being updated now only until all the agencies that use it have
switched to something else. The current version no longer lists the
long names for countries. These long names (such as 'Republic of
Albania' for Albania) only appeared in the old FIPS-10 document which
is no longer available, so they are no longer available in this module.
I will continue to support the FIPS-10 codeset as long as it is available,
but at that point, it will be withdrawn immediately. If an official
end-of-life date is announced, I will include a notice here. Otherwise, support
for the codeset will be discontinued when the document is withdrawn.
You are encouraged to no longer use the FIPS-10 codeset.
Domain country codes now come from ISO 3166
The IANA domain codes have changed slightly. The IANA no longer
publishes a list of countries associated with their codes. Instead,
they use the ISO 3166 codes and country names. However, they support
a few non-standard codes, so I will continue to maintain this codeset.
The domain codes are now lowercase to correspond to the ISO 3166 codes.

NEW CODE(s)
Updated perl version required
Changed 'require 5.002' (which dated back to the version 2.xx Locale-Codes)
to 'require 5.006'. Some features used in Locale-Codes are not supported that
far back. Nicholas Clark
Sorted deprecated codes
The codes in the generated deprecated codes modules were not sorted making version
diffs bigger than they should be. Nicholas Clark
