**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20210528:
Help tags selection modified in the `%generatePackage()` macro.
New solution allows to write help tags surrounding comments in two ways.
The first (old) is:
```
/*** HELP START ***/
/*
comment
*/
/*** HELP END ***/
```
and the second (new):
```
/*** HELP START ***//*
comment
*//*** HELP END ***/
```
The second allows to print help info in log without `/*` and `*/` surrounding comments. It looks better and is easier for building `.md` files or other help documents (so you do not have to remove `/*` by hand).
Documentation updated.
The following packages were regenerated with new version of the SPF:
- BasePlus
- DFA
- dynMacroArray

Documentation updated.
Packages recompiled with the new version of the SAS Packages Framework:
- `SQLinDS` (version 2.2)
- `macroArray` (version 0.7)
- `DFA` (version 0.2)

**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20201103
Bugfix for `SAS 9.4M5` related to the following Problem Note: `https://support.sas.com/kb/62/037.html`
All macros using MD%() function should now run on M5.
Packages recompiled with the new version of the SAS Packages Framework:
- SQLinDS (version 2.2)
- macroArray (version 0.7)
- The `%mcHashTable()` macro was added in the package.
- DFA (version 0.2)
- BasePlus (version 0.9)
- New parameter `mcArray=` added to the `%getVars()` macro.
- New macros added:`%dedupListS()`, `%dedupListC()`, `%dedupListP()`, `%dedupListX()`, and `%QdedupListX()`
- dynMacroArray (version 0.2)
New parameter `mcArray=` added to the `%getVars()` macro.
*Optional*, default value is blank.
1) When *null* - the macro behaves like a macro function
and returns a text string with variables list.
2) When *not null* - behaviour of the macro is altered.
In such case a macro array of selected variables, named
with `mcArray` value as a prefix, is created.
Furthermore a macro named as `mcArray` value is generated.
(see the macroArray package for the details).
When `mcArray=` parameter is active the `getVars` macro
cannot be called within the `%put` statement. Execution like:
`%put %getVars(..., mcArray=XXX);` will result with
an Explicit & Radical Refuse Of Run (aka ERROR).
**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20201101:
- In the `%generatePackage()` macro two new parameters `sasexe=` and `sascfgfile=` pointing the location of the SAS binary and the config file were added.
- The first points location of a *directory* where the SAS binary is located, if null (the default) then the `!SASROOT` is used.
- The second points location of a *file* with testing session configuration parameters, if null (the default) then no config file is pointed during the SAS invocation, if set to `DEF` then the `!SASROOT/sasv9.cfg` is used.
- Documentation updated.
Important: The default GitHub repository changed from: `master` to: `main`

macroArray, version 0.7:
The `%mcHashTable()` macro was added in the package.
It is designed to facilitate the idea of a "macro hash table"
concept, i.e. *a list of macrovariables with common prefix
and suffixes generated as a hash digest* which allows
to use values other than integers as indexes.
The `%mcHashTable()` macro allows to generate other macros
which behaves like hash tables or dictionaries.
