Let me first of all thank Behdad for bringing fribidi to what it is today! I started the fribidi project back in 1999 as a proof of concept and hoping it would help in proliferating BiDi support in free software. Soon Behdad took over the maintenance and with his perseverance over the years as a maintainer have helped fulfilling this goal way beyond what I had hoped for. Thanks again!</div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></span><div>Glad to hear you're back and going to lead this work, Dov!</div><div><span class=""><div><br class="m_1284833700979088439gmail-Apple-interchange-newline"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div></div></div>Re API, I highly recommend that you DON'T break the API, and DON'T rename the library.
