The bidi package
v1.0.3

This package provides a convenient interface for typesetting
bidirectional texts with XeLaTeX.

This version fixes few bugs that were present in v1.0.2 and in
addition it adds full support for hyperref package. Please note
that in RTL mode, the fix does not support links spanning multiple
lines  and that is due to XeTeX annoying limitations, bugs and super
weak programming. In fact, what bidi can do at present is unbleiveable
with considering XeTeX bugs and limitations and its super weak programming.
We also have deleted bidimemoir class in this version and instead have added
support for memoir class, therefore you will need to use memoir class.

Please note that currently there is no user guide for the bidi package and
you will need to study "XeTeX Companion" page 65 where bidi package is described
very briefly.

Please do not email me for any issue/question that you may have with the bidi
package, because you just waste your own time and I will never response to your
queries. Instead you can subscribe to the XeTeX mailing list at
http://www.tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex and ask for help there. You may submit
any bugs that you find in bidi package at http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=10901
with an example that demonstrates the bug. Bug reports without examples will be deleted
immediately.

Please also note that in the development of the bidi package, I have recieved no support
(of any kind) at all from the developer of XeTeX (Jonathan Kew). In fact, bidi development
has been done independently and it will continue to do so.
