I've installed the new TeXLive 2017. There is a conflict between the metalogo and bidi packages. I don't suppose this would be a biggie, except that the xltxtra package loads metalogo. (And something else I'm using loads xltxtra...)<br class="">
<br class="">
The conflict is shown in this minimal example:<br class="">
------<br class="">
\documentclass{report}<br class="">
\usepackage{metalogo}<br class="">
\usepackage{bidi}<br class="">

The reverse loading order (bidi, then metalogo) triggers an error msg from bidi about loading order, and probably wouldn't help anyway.<br class="">

<div class="">This following works smoothly, and allows access to both versions of the logo.</div>
<div class="">Notice that bidi’s version of \XeLaTeX is slightly narrower than the one from metalogo.</div>

For the time being, doing the following before bidi is loaded seems to solve the problem:<br class="">

\let\XeTeX\relax<br class="">
\let\XeLaTeX\relax<br class="">
