Yes, I found that one after I posted. FWIW, here are the changes for
the latest version:

That implementation looks very different from the C and Java versions.
I can’t tell by looking at a glance if it has been updated for the
changes in Unicode 8.0. But it definitely will not pass the tests in
BidiCharacter.txt because it lacks support for paired brackets.

I just finished writing a reference implementation in Lua[1] which is
a line by line port of the Java reference implementation and passes
nearly all tests in BidiCharacter.txt.

I now need to make the updates to support the changes in Unicode 8.0,
and I am finding it a bit hard to grok the changes in C at a glance.
