CTAN update: arabluatex
arabluatex v1.9.2: arabluatex has been tested on hundreds of pages of fine, fully vocalized Arabic print. Among the many improvements and new features: - The rules for taḫfīf al-hamzah have been much improved. - New rules: hyphen + initial ʾalif without hamzah + hamzah and [wf]a- + hamzah have been added. - The strange spelling of miʾah has been added too. - Added support for 'uncertain' vowels (see the documentation on page 35). - As \aemph is now context sensitive, a new command \aemph* which always puts a stroke over its argument has been added.

arabluatex – ArabTeX for LuaLaTeX
This package provides for LuaLaTeX an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic writing from an ascii transliteration. It is particularly well-suited for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing. arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeX input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet to come to produce from .tex source files, in addition to printed books, TEI xml compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.
