The package provides the Arabic and Farsi script support for TeX without
the need of any external pre-processor. The bi- directional capability
supposes that the user has a TeX engine that knows the four primitives
\beginR, \endR, \beginL and \endL. That is the case in both the TeX--XeT
and e-TeX engines. Arabi will accept input in several 8-bit encodings,
including UTF-8. Arabi can make use of a wide variety of Arabic and
Farsi fonts; PDF files generated using Arabi may be searched, and text
may be copied from them and pasted elsewhere.
the shift from traditional ulpt(4)/usblp to libusb. Clarify that the
backend, when run without arguments, also prints out DeviceURIs of
traditional printers. PKGREVISION++.

Multiple integer overflows in dvipsk/dospecial.c in dvips in TeX
Live 2009 and earlier, and teTeX, allow remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code via a special command in a DVI file, related to the (1)
predospecial and (2) bbdospecial functions, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2010-0739.

One "usb" CUPS backend for both libusb-based and usblp-based access.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Optional provides simple, flexible, optional compilation of LaTeX
documents. Option switches may be given via package options, by the
\UseOption command, or interactively via the \AskOption command (help
text may be provided, by defining the \ExplainOptions command). The
package is not robust, in the way that comment package is, against
ill-behaved text. In particular, verbatim text may not be directly
included in optional sections (whether they're included or not). Package
documentation is included in comments within the package itself.
If you have \cite commands in \section-like commands, or in \caption,
the citation will also appear in the table of contents, or list of
whatever. If you are also using an unsrt- like bibliography style, these
citations will come at the very start of the bibliography, which is
confusing. This package suppresses the effect.
Use \nolbreaks{some text} to prevent line breaks in "some text". This
has the advantage over \mbox{} that glue (rubber space) remains
flexible. Most common cases are handled here (\linebreak is disabled,
for example) but spaces hidden in macros or { } can still create
break-points.
