----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the final version of xepersian package and no more updates of xepersian
package will appear.
I am working on a commercial package (namely Simurgh, for typesetting high
quality Persian/English documents with LuaTeX, which does not have bugs and
limitations of xepersian package) and therefore do not wish to continue the
development of xepersian package. Hence you may like to consider xepersian as
obsolete and may wish to purchase a copy of Simurgh package. If you are
interested to purchase a copy of Simurgh package, then send me an email. Please
do not email me with questions/queries about bugs/limitations/usage of xepersian
package; I am not interested in those emails and your email will be deleted
immediately without replying back.
