GeoIP databases now return more postal codes for Australia, France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. In addition, the
latitude and longitude will reflect the center of the postal code instead of the
center of the city for these countries. The postal code coverage is
approximately:

- Australia, 20%
- France, 23%
- Germany, 14%
- Italy, 18%
- Spain, 11%
- South Africa, 5%
- Switzerland, 28%
- United Kingdom, 9%
- United States, 56%

On July 30th, the GeoIP databases should return postals for Canada.
