Hello,

Just wanted you all to know that starting from today, there's is partial
Hebrew and Arabic, and full right to left support in SHR.
Ainulindale was kind enough to add a patch I sent him for libevas to the SHR
repos, so starting from the next image,
this will be "built-in". (Of course also available as packages).
As for e in general, well the patch has been sent to raster, which will
apply it to e when he can.

What's there:
* Full RTL support, RTL renders correctly and not in reverse like it used
to.
* Arabic letters are now changed according to context (I tried my best, and
gfather said it's fine, though since I don't know Arabic, I didn't do proper
QA)
* Hebrew nikkud and Arabic vowels work as well.

What's missing:
* Selection of doesn't work on text that includes RTL.
* Cursor position is off with text that includes RTL.
* No arabic keyboard available (gfather is working on that one).


Now it's time for you to start nationalizing applications and SHR/FSO/Any
other distro that uses illume.

Enjoy,
Tom. (TAsn)
