    package.

    Version: 0.2

    Summary description: Unicode bidi algorithm implementation for various LuaTeX formats

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fixed a major bug which produced unbalanced dir nodes. It mainly manifested in complex RTL text embedded in LTR paragraph. See #1.

    In addition the user interface now uses the luakeyval module.

    * don't process lists without glyphs or with unbalanced math nodes
    * Fixed an infinite loop in edge cases
    * the disable key is removed, enable accept a bool value instead
    * added baselevel, setdir, setmirror, settextclass keys
    * In pre_linebreak_filter the direction of the loacl_par node is used for the base level
    instead of the direction luaotfload passes (which is the text direction)
    * the characters properties tables (directions, mirrors, text classes), and the
    base level function setter are exposed from Lua
