Thanks ! Btw, you forgot to change the version in setup.py to 0.9.0.

The check I done is wether the packages that depend on fribidi use 
obsolete symbols or not. The purpose is to find out wether really we can 
use fribidi without SO bump or not.

Indeed I found that I missed checking wether those packages will compile 
or not, because fribidi 0.19.x dropped fribidi-config, yet some of those 
packages used fribidi-config instead of pkg-config ! That's yet another 
exercise.

That's wierd, I just compiled pyfribidi 0.6 against fribidi 0.19.2 now !

I hope I can do that.
