Text-Bidi-3.0

Changes for version 3.0 - 2026-11-14

  • Replace the SWIG backend with FFI::Platypus, preserving the public API and packed-array calling conventions.
  • Load the system FriBidi shared library at runtime; building Text::Bidi no longer requires SWIG, FriBidi headers, or a compiler.
  • Avoid paired-bracket characters in random bidi-class test fixtures; their bracket properties can disagree with class-only test data.
