This version fixes numerous bugs and brings several
enhancements.

bring a new simplified setup interface for writing
gloss-*.ldf files (see
http://github.com/fc7/polyglossia/tree/1.2/ for the current
development tree) and support for more languages.

- Bugfix for French: explicit spaces before/after double
punctuation
  signs are now replaced by the appropriate non-breaking spaces,
  as in Babel.
- Bugfix for font switching mechanism within Latin script
  (pending a complete re-implementation in v1.2):
  the font shape and series are no longer reset when
switching language.
- New macros for non-Western decimal digits
  (instead of fontmappings)

  formatted differently in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Turkish
  and Bahasa Indonesia.
