We updated Life expectancy with new data from World Population Prospects (2012 version). A number of backward revisions was also done and we have added guestimates for a couple of disasters (Haiti earthquake, Somalia famine, Syrian civil war). Both Life expectancy and Life expectancy with extrapolations have been updated. This data set is version 6 of Life expectancy. The documentation is available here.
