Countries v1.7.0

Breaking changes

New format for country names.

The country names (property name.native) now contains every native languages. Thus the nativeLanguage property, which used to identify the language code used for the native country names, has been removed.

Before

{
    "name": {
        "common": "Peru",
        "official": "Republic of Peru",
        "native": {
            "common": "Per\u00fa",
            "official": "Rep\u00fablica del Per\u00fa"
        }
    },
    "...": "...",
    "nativeLanguage": "spa",
    "languages": {
        "aym": "Aymara",
        "que": "Quechua",
        "spa": "Spanish"
    }
}

After

{
    "name": {
        "common": "Peru",
        "official": "Republic of Peru",
        "native": {
            "aym": {
                "official": "Piruw Suyu",
                "common": "Piruw"
            },
            "que": {
                "official": "Piruw Ripuwlika",
                "common": "Piruw"
            },
            "spa": {
                "official": "Rep\u00fablica del Per\u00fa",
                "common": "Per\u00fa"
            }
        }
    },

        "spa": "Spanish"
    }
}

New format for translations

As proposed by @herrniemand, the format for translations has been updated to include official country names. Hereafter an example for Peru:

Before

{
      "translations": {
        "deu": "Peru",
        "fra": "P\u00e9rou",
        "hrv": "Peru",
        "ita": "Per\u00f9",
        "jpn": "\u30da\u30eb\u30fc",
        "nld": "Peru",
        "por": "Per\u00fa",
        "rus": "\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0443",
        "spa": "Per\u00fa"
    }
}

After

{
    "translations": {
        "deu": {"official": "Republik Peru", "common": "Peru"},
        "fra": {"official": "R\u00e9publique du P\u00e9rou", "common": "P\u00e9rou"},
        "hrv": {"official": "Republika Peru", "common": "Peru"},
        "ita": {"official": "Repubblica del Per\u00f9", "common": "Per\u00f9"},
        "jpn": {"official": "\u30da\u30eb\u30fc\u5171\u548c\u56fd", "common": "\u30da\u30eb\u30fc"},
        "nld": {"official": "Republiek Peru", "common": "Peru"},
        "por": {"official": "Rep\u00fablica do Peru", "common": "Per\u00fa"},
        "rus": {"official": "\u0420\u0435\u0441\u043f\u0443\u0431\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0430 \u041f\u0435\u0440\u0443", "common": "\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0443"},
        "spa": {"official": "Rep\u00fablica de Per\u00fa", "common": "Per\u00fa"}
    }
}

Addition

add alternative name and spellings for East Timor

Build

A new build system has been introduced by @petert82. The single script is split up into individual files in src/ and the symfony Console component as a dependency, to make it nice and easy to extend the conversion options in future.

To build the dist files, the command is now php countries.php convert.

Updates

change Lithuania currency to EUR
change zambian currency to ZMW

Fixes

fix Kosovo calling code
fix demonym of Myanmar
fix official Swahili name of Kenya

Again, a huge thank you goes to @herrniemand and @petert82 for their ideas and help on this.
