Daniel Flipo submitted an update to the

                lettrine

package.

Version number: 2.60 2024-01-20
License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: Typeset dropped capitals

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


The `\lettrine` command is now compatible with right to left typesetting, both 
with `LuaLaTeX` and `XeLaTeX` (`babel` or `polyglossia`).

A basic example `lettrine-demo-arabic.tex` has been added to the `doc` 
directory.

Currently with XeLaTeX, file `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def` (v0.8 [2022/11/06]) is 
automatically loaded by the `bidi` package; it redefines the `\@lettrine`command 
based on version 2.30 of `lettrine`.  This code breaks versions 2.50 and newer 
of the `lettrine` package, you can now safely remove `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def` 
if you install `lettrine` v2.60.
