That's not released yet, mainly for lack of time and testing, and
that the command line interface has not been updated to reflect
the new API and featuers.  The code is in the fribidi2 module in
CVS.  All relevant links are on http://fribidi.org/

All public symbols have documentations in the new code base, but
not more than that.  Just checkout the code for
fribidi_log2vis().  I just added comments to it about where line
breaking should go:
