Minimal example showing the issue

bidi's documentation says it supports lettrine, but I'm having trouble.

MWE:

% !TeX TS-program = xelatex
% !TeX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}% position 1
\usepackage{bidi}
%\usepackage{lettrine} % position 2

\begin{document}
	\lettrine{H}{ere is a nice beginning} to a paragraph.  The current document contains no 
	words, but we need some phrases as a base to create the random text from. The current 
	document contains no words, but we need some phrases as a base to create the random 
	text from.  
\end{document}

When lettrine is invoked at position 1, I get

Package bidi Error: Oops! you have loaded package lettrine after bidi package on your document again. 
\begin{document}

And at position 2, I get

Undefined control sequence. \lettrine{H}{ere is a nice beginning}

Thanks for your bug report and my apologies for the delay. I have fixed it and pushed the new version to CTAN.

That is irrelevant here.
