Vafa Khalighi submitted an update to the xepersian package. Summary description: Persian for LaTeX, using XeTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text:

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.

This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/xetex/latex/xepersian . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xepersian (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
