"fribidi_tables.i".
* fribidi_types.h, fribidi_types.c, fribidi_get_type.c,
unidata/CreateGetType.pl: Define symbol MEM_OPTIMIZED added to
make Dov happy :-), if MEM_OPTIMIZED defined, fribidi_tables.i
entries will be guint8 instead of gint to free 27KB extra memory
that was used to make fribidi use bitmasks, the overhead will be
three array lookups instead of two, in fribidi_get_type().
* fribidi_main.c: Options --verbose and --basedir added.
Options --test and --caprtl updated.
* conformance/test_gen.c: File name changed to
conformance/test_gen_explicit.c
* run.tests: Make to work with "make test" and "make check" when
making from other directories.
* fribidi.c: Rule L1 ("Reset the embedding levels") moved from
fribidi_log2vis() to fribidi_analyse_string(), to affect
fribidi_log2vis_get_embedding_levels() too. New functions
fribidi_mirroring_status() and fribidi_set_mirroring() added to
turn on or off mirroring (Rule L3).  Changed to warn about too long
strings only if at least one of position_L_to_V_list or
position_V_to_L_list is asked.
* fribidi.h: Updated to reflect new functions in fribidi.c,
#include "config.h" removed, and added to each .c file that use it,
because config.h should not be included by other apps/libs.
* fribidi.c, fribidi_main.c, fribidi_benchmark.c: #included "config.h",
Now, --version options shows the options that library is compiled
with (DEBUG, MEM_OPTIMIZED, USE_SIMPLE_MALLOC, FRIBIDI_USE_MINI_GLIB).
* fribidi_types.h, fribidi.c, fribidi.h, fribidi_utils.c: TypeDefined
FriBidiStrIndex as guint16 and used for the type of
position_L_to_V_list and postition_V_to_L_list arrays.

2001-03-27  Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@bamdad.org>
* fribidi.c, fribidi_types.h: Some bugs introduced in the last
changes removed, "Resolving weak types" rewritten, no known
conformance bugs.  Defined macros for external use, changed their
name to have a prefix of FRIBIDI_.
* fribidi.c, fribidi.h: Function fribidi_remove_explicits() added
to remove the explicit marks from a fribidi string.
* fribidi.c: Fixed a bug that caused position_l_to_v and
position_v_to_l not to calculated correctly.
* fribidi.h: Defined symbols PACKAGE and VERSION manually, autoconf
should set them, but I don't know how to.
* fribidi_char_sets.c, fribidi_char_sets.h, fribidi_char_sets_*:
Each charset moved to a pair of .c/.h file.  CapRTL defined as a
character set for testing with the reference implementation, with
explicit marks escape strings, beware that it differs from the old
capital rtl, it is a character set, only for test, with the property
that contains all character types in ascii characters.  Some
functions defined to make charset conversion easy.  An interface
designed for adding new charsets.
* fribidi_main.c: API revised, many new options added,
Default charset changed to UTF-8
Option --caprtl simulates the old style (same as --charset CapRTL)
Option --test simulates the old test_fribidi (same as --fill
--showinput --clean)
Option --clean now works for all charsets.
Option --fill implementated.
Options --version, --showinput, --ltov, --vtol, --levels, --changes,
--novisual, --charsetdesc added.
Now use the charset conventions, lots of code removed.
* test_fribidi.c: Got removed! `fribidi --test' should be used
instead.
* fribidi_benchmark: Explicit support added, now benchmarks with
two strings, one without explicit marks and one with them.
* run.tests, tests/test-CapRTL, tests/test-CapRTL.reference,
tests/test-explicit, tests/test-explicit.reference,
tests/test-hebrew, tests/test-hebrew.reference: New test datas
added, for better testing of weak types and explicit support.  Test
outputs updated for the new CapRTL character set.  Test output for
test-hebrew added.
* Makefile.in, Makefile.am: Updated to use fribidi instead of
test_fribidi for test targets.  New files added.
* TODO: Some done tasks removed, some new tasks added!

2001-03-09  Dov Grobgeld  <dov@orbotech.orbotech.co.il>
* fribidi_mini_glib.c, fribidi_mini_glib.h: Applied patch
received from Dan Kenigsberg <danken@cs.technion.ac.il> that
allows compiling fribidi without glib if the flag
FRIBIDI_USE_MINI_GLIB is turned on.  This option is currently
turned on when compiling through Makefile.noglib .
* TODO: Added the task of making autoconf automatically turn
on FRIBIDI_USE_MINI_GLIB if glib isn't found.

2001-03-07  Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@bamdad.org>
* fribidi.c: Removed dead codes, many parts rewritten more efficient,
including Resolving Neutrals, Resolving Implicit Levels and ....
* fribidi_types.h: Almost redefined, to use bitfields for char types,
and many macros defined for efficient querying about char types.
Some unused char types removed, also char types L, R, N converted
to LTR, RTL and ON everywhere.
* CreateGetType.pl: Changed to define tables as arrays of
FriBidiCharType instead of guchar.
* conformance/: Updated some scripts for automatic testing with
reference implementation.

2001-02-19  Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@bamdad.org>
* fribidi.c: Added support for all explicit marks (embeddings and
overrides), it means rules X1 .. X10 of specification.
* fribidi.c: Added support for L1 rule of specification, it's
resetting the char type of some characters, just before reordering.
* fribidi.c: Added 'AL' to types that change the paragraph embedding
level, it previously only checked for 'R'.
* fribidi.c: Define symbol NO_STDIO changed to DEBUG, to turn on or
off all debug codes compile time, also a function fribidi_set_debug,
turns on and off the debug output generations in run time.
* fribidi.c: Added some more debug information, all debug informations
revised and go to stderr now.
* fribidi.c: Fixed a bug in rule W5, that is when some european
terminators are between some arabic letters and some european
numbers.
* fribidi_main.c: Added support for inputting explicit marks, in
CapRTL charset mode.
* fribidi_main.c: Added command line option for debug mode.
* fribidi_main.c: Fixed a small bug that would annoy when the size
of original string may be different to the derived one.
* fribidi_main.c: Fixed a small bug in padding when the size of the
out string was more than the page width.
* fribidi_types.h: Added some types needed for debug info.

2001-02-19  Roozbeh Pournader <roozbeh@sharif.edu>
* CreateGetType.pl: changed to use BidiMirroring.txt instead
of UnicodeData.txt.

2000-11-12  Dov Grobgeld  <dov@imagic.weizmann.ac.il>
* Released fribidi-0.1.15.
* fribidi.c: [OZ] Applied Owen Taylor's patch from 2000-07-19 to
fribidi.c.  The patch affects pp->prev rules for the last element
in cases W3 and W7.
* fribidi.c: [OZ] fribidi_log2vis() and
fribidi_log2vis_get_embedding_levels() now check for len==0 and if
so, they return immediately (instead of getting stuck).
* fribidi.c: [OZ] new_type_link() is now declared as
new_type_link(void) to prevent a compiler error message.
* fribidi.c: [OZ] The positions of the is_v2l_map and len
arguments in fribidi_map_range() prototype were switched around,
to conform to actual use in the source code file.
* fribidi.c: [OZ] The first argument to fribidi_is_char_rtl() was
changed from gint8 to guint8, to conform to data type returned by
fribidi_log2vis().  
* fribidi.c: [OZ] bidi_string_strlen() now uses gint rather than int.
* fribidi.c: [OZ] bidi_string_reverse() now uses gint rather than int.
* fribidi.c: [OZ] int16_array_reverse() is now guint16_array_reverse().
* fribidi.c: Added define symbols NO_STDIO, FRIBIDI_MAX_STRING_LENGTH,
USE_SIMPLE_MALLOC that may be used to effect what code is being
generated.
* fribidi_char_sets.h, fribidi_char_sets.c: Added Omer Zaks more
general ut8 to unicode and unicode to ut8 functions.
* fribidi.c: [OZ] Replaced int to gint to better support embedded
libraries.
* Applied lots of code contributed by Omer Zak <omerz@actcom.co.il>
detailed above.


2000-10-14  Dov Grobgeld  <dov@imagic.weizmann.ac.il>

* Released fribidi-0.1.14.

* CreateGetType.pl, fribidi_tables.i: Applied a patch received
from Roozbeh Pournader <roozbeh@sina.sharif.ac.ir> (who has got
quite some courage sending an email from Iran to Israel) which
updates the character tables according to UnicodeData-3.0.1.txt .

* fribidi_char_sets.c: Cleaned up the mess and made it compile!

2000-10-09  Dov Grobgeld  <dov@imagic.weizmann.ac.il>

2000-05-19  Dov Grobgeld  <dov@imagic.weizmann.ac.il>
* fribidi_char_sets.c: Added support for the LRM and RLM
characters for the iso-8859-8 converts at unused positions
0xFE and 0xFF .
* CreateGetType.pl, fribidi.c, fribidi_tables.i, fribidi_types.h:
Updated the algorithms to be consistance with the latest Unicode
Technical Report #9 release. Still no explicit overrides, but
hopefully the implicit algorithm now works according to the
specification.
* CreateGetType.pl, fribidi_tables.i: Overwrote the character
bidi-assignment of all non-assigned characters within blocks with
the property of the previous character in order to create a few
more reused secondary lookup character tables.
* CreateGetType.pl, fribidi.c, fribidi_tables.i: Added Owen
Taylor's speed patch that speeds up fribidi by a factor of 4!
   Owen's patch consists of two parts. The first part is a double
table lookup scheme for accessing the character properties,
replacing the old binary search. The second part is a reuse of the
links in the character properties linked list in order to minimize
mallocs.

* tests/test-capital-rtl: Added new tests to check percentage
  signs and updated tests.reference to reflect this.
* fribidi.c(fribidi_analyse_string): Added the rule
  EN,ET=>EN,EN which takes care of the problem of percentage
  signs were put in the wrong place.
