The One with the Thoughts of Frans

As one of the maintainers of KOReader, a versatile a document and image viewer, I’m proud to announce the latest release.

@poire-z has outdone himself this month by implementing RTL/bidi support in crengine. With a hat tip to the FriBiDi and HarfBuzz libraries for minimizing the still substantial amount of effort involved.
