CTAN Update: bidi

Vafa Khalighi submitted an update to the bidi package. Summary description: Support for bidirectional typesetting in plain TeX and LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text:

---

In this version, a new experimental package, namely, bidi-longtable.sty is provided for typesetting bidirectional longtables with longtable package. bidi-longtable.sty should be loaded after bidi package. This is the final version of bidi package and no more updates of bidi package will appear. I am working on a commercial package (namely Simurgh, for typesetting high quality Persian/English documents with LuaTeX, which does not have bugs and limitations of bidi package) and therefore do not wish to continue the development of bidi package. Hence you may like to consider bidi as obsolete and may wish to purchase a copy of Simurgh package. If you are interested to purchase a copy of Simurgh package, then send me an email. Please do not email me with questions/queries about bugs/limitations/usage of bidi package; I am not interested in those emails and your email will be deleted immediately without replying back
