[FriBidi] Is there a stable build (binaries) of fribidi for Windows ?

yes, the binaries are ok.
thank you for uploading them. i'm using them once in a while.

However, they present the same functionality as my old binaries.

What i was looking for, specifically, was the ability to convert an HTML
file from VISUAL hebrew to LOGICAL hebrew.

indeed, each word in itself is converted well in fribidi.
but as a whole, the sections of a sentence with html code should also
change their order.

e.g.
(visual hebrew: very old style, seen well only with specific encoding,
browser and backword fonts)
zyx  onml <html code> gfe  dcba

(after fribidi, as seen when ordered properly with <body DIR="LTR">. each
section now looks good, but the sections are not in the right order)
lmno xyz <html code> abcd efg

(actually should've been: both text AND sections should be in this order)
abcd efg <html code> lmno xyz

in the last scenario, the OS/GUI toolkits knows to display it right, while
on disk the text is saved letter by letter as they exist *logically *)

so what i was hoping to find is a routine that will re-order the *sections
of a sentence*.
the logical hebrew's sentences are being broken with

   - HTML tags,
   - english text
   - numbers
   - certain punctuation characters

So far i'm found a workaround to my specific task. And there are very few
websites which are still written that way, I don't think there's a point in
implementing this feature, if it doesn't exist yet.
