I have noticed recently in several postings that reference has been 
made to some feature being or not being ready for 'version 1.0'. 
Does anyone actually have any idea when version 1.0 could be 
happening, or is this just an imaginary horizon that has nothing to 
do with time and space?

The reason I am would like to know, is that I would really like to 
see the bidirectional support in by version 1.0.

I have not produced a fresh bidi patch for several weeks, instead 
concentrating on the utf-8 support, prinicipally because BiDi only 
reaches its full potential in Unicode environment, and I am hoping 
that with full utf-8 support the bidi functionality will become more 
attractive and also easier to test and play around with.

I realise that the basic problem with the BiDi patch is that it is so 
large and that reviewing it requires lot of effort; equally maintaining 
it as a patch is not feasible and is time consuming. Is there 
anything at all (except for making a fresh patch based on the 
current tree) that would make its evaluation easier?
