+What's new in 8.13.0
+--------------------
+
+Merge to [upstream commit
+185004cabd1bb4d3](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/commit/185004cabd1bb4d3).  Upstream has
+removed the `leading_zero_possible` field from the `PhoneMetadata` type as part of this version;
+however, this change is *not* mirrored in the Python code due to back-compatibility concerns.
