dir="auto" used to be removed in v0.1.8 but is not in v0.1.10

Hi,

We've noticed that dir="auto" is no longer removed in v0.1.10.

Was that a deliberate decision? It's not mentioned in the release notes...

It's not a problem for us, but may be for others.

Hi @howardcox,
dir="auto" is a valid attribute as defined in HTML5 spec. Versions prior to 0.1.9 were using HTMLPurifier's built-in Bdo implementation, which follows XHTML 1.1 spec and allows only ltr and rtl values. Version 0.1.9 introduced a proper, HTML5-compliant implementation, which allows all three values.

But you're right - the information about this should (and will) be added to 0.1.9 release notes.
