Version 0.4.0 adds `\latinverb`, `\latinverb*`, `latinverbatim`, and `latinverbatim*` for typesetting Latin code in documents with non-Latin main languages. It also improves language-aware font fallback, Latin typewriter font selection, and minted language handling, and refines code patch loading and RTL layout behavior. Documentation and regression examples have been updated. Version 0.4.1 fixes footnote handling, including verbatim footnotes. Package files now have independently maintained version numbers.

BabelBidi – An extension to babel’s bidirectional support
This package extends Babel’s bidirectional support by fixing direction-sensitive behaviour and providing interfaces for explicit text direction, language selection, and font configuration, including glyph fallback with LuaTeX. It supports languages available through Babel and works with LuaTeX (recommended), XeTeX, or pdfTeX, with either an LTR or RTL main language.
