Weekly Report (September 27 - October 3)
Wohooo! Last week we’ve got one big and important improvement merged to the main code - support for RTL in Text Layer (PR #2232)! Much thanks to Rodolfo Ribeiro Gomes for implementation!
That means now it can properly display text in Arabic and other languages that use right-to-left writing direction.
Please notice that if you use a string which mixes RTL and LTR text, then you might need to set a “Direction” parameter in Text Layer to indicate the proper order.
