- 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`
The SAS Packages Framework available packages:
- `SQLinDS` (version 2.2)

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.
**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20201018:
- In the `%generatePackage()` macro new parameter `testResults=` pointing the location where tests results should be stored was added.
- Datasets provided by the `data` type can be reloaded with help of the `lazyData=` parameter.
- The way the dataset help is displayed was improved.
- In the testing process the note about quoted string length was turned off.
- Tests results (i.e. `log` and `lst` files) can be redirected to a different location and are stored in directories named: `test_packagename_yyyymmddthhmmss`.
- Documentation updated.

macroArray package, version 0.6:
New feature of the `%array()` macro. If the `macarray` parameter of the `%array()` macro is set to `M` then for a given array name the macro symbols table is scanned for macrovariables with prefix like the array name and numeric suffixes. Then the minimum and the maximum index is determined and all not existing global macrovariables are created and a macro is generated in the same way as it is generated for the `Y` value.
Documentation updated.
