+# THE ARABXETEX PACKAGE
+## v1.2.1
+
+This package provides a convenient ArabTeX-like user-interface for typesetting
+languages using the Arabic script in XeLaTeX, with flexible access to font
+features. Input in ArabTeX notation can be set in three different vocalization
+modes or in roman transliteration. Direct UTF-8 input is also supported, but
+users not interested in ArabTeX input notation should rather consider the
+package [polyglossia](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/polyglossia). Since most of the
+‘real work’ – namely parsing and converting ArabTeX input to Unicode – is done
+at the level of TECkit mappings, ArabXeTeX is really performant.
+
+The TECkit fontmapping files (`*.map` and `*.tec`) should be copied to
+`<TEXMF>/fonts/misc/xetex/fontmapping/arabxetex/`
+
+
+### Changes from version 1.1.4:
+
+- Fix problem with plain footnotes (Fix provided by [Enrico Gregorio](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/223081/arabxetex-and-footnote))
+- Remove obsolete and superfluous parts from documentation
+- Default Arabic font is now [Amiri](http://www.amirifont.org/) instead of Scheherazade and Amiri is also used in the documentation.
+- Include a pull request from Khaled Hosny:
+ * Improves the documentation and notably clears up the confusion around U+FDF2.
+ Consequently the options `fdf2alif` and `fdf2noalif` are now *DEPRECATED*, as well as
+ the commands `\SetAllahWithAlif` and `\SetAllahWithoutAlif`.
+ * Fix placement of tanwin fatah
+ * Fix handling of end of ayeh symbol in mapping
+
+*NB* From a user perspective there is no difference between 1.2.0 and 1.2.1.
