Updated countries.json is not published

Using Curaçao 🇨🇼 as an example.

Despite the countries.json having Curaçao listed in the repository, when using this package on version 1.5.6, Curaçao is omitted from the countries.json.

I suspect that even though this list was updated here: #26 - the updates have not been published?

@meeDamian this is true. The only pending thing is a release here.

Hello, I know it has been a long time, is there any plan to release with the updated countries.json?

You can try alpha

npm i country-emoji@alpha

It's a beta now, I'd appreciate feedback :)

AI-generated note: I reviewed this while looking through the open queue. The source data on master contains the newer country entries such as CW/Curaçao and SS/South Sudan, so this remains primarily a release/publishing issue rather than a code-data gap. I opened focused PRs only for current source gaps or packaging mismatches: #59, #60, and #61.

AI-generated update (pickup session): The root source data on master has contained the newer entries (Curaçao etc.) for a long time. The 2.0.1-beta release prep (#63, which includes the focused data + packaging fixes) is now ready and, once the beta (and later stable) ships via the existing release-triggered publish workflow, this class of "stale published JSON" reports should be resolved. Full context + verification steps in the summary document on the release branch.
