[ANNOUNCEMENT] Validate_US-0.5.0 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package Validate_US-0.5.0 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - Split from Validate into independent package - CS fixes - region() added in US (that is validation of the states) - phoneNumber() added. hasn't had a release in too long. - Fix Bug #4068 Always returns true if area code is required in Validate_US::phoneNumber - BC break! postalCode unified between countries (name wise), now all postcode validation funcs are named postalCode - Added test cases for some of the functions - Added a var named $high_groups which will stores result of a query to a webpage that ssnGetHighGroups does to get list of all high groups, this will really help keeping the load down if there is a need to validate more then one ssn in a row. - Fix an unassigned variable warning in SSN checks - Lots of updates to how SSN checks work (various contributors) Note, I'm releasing this because I just realized that I'm the maintainer and it hasn't had a release in too long. We really should stabilize it.
