CTAN Update: arabluatex
arabluatex v1.20:--- - This release provides an option — \StretchBayt[true|false] — to remove stretching from lines of Arabic poetry. As a side effect, there will be more space between words, but this can be compensated by inserting the taṭwīl. See the documentation p. 31 and the examples pp. 32-33 for more information.

arabluatex – ArabTeX for LuaLaTeX
This package provides for LuaLaTeX an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic writing from an ascii transliteration. It is particularly well-suited for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing. arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeX input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet to come to produce from .tex source files, in addition to printed books, TEI xml compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.
