## The BasePlus package [ver. 2.0.1]

This release is dedicated to all dyslexics in the world.

### Changes:

New macros:
- [`%expandDataSetsList()`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#expanddatasetslist-macro) allowing to expand data set lists of the form: `a1-a3`, `b_:`, mixed, and `_all_`;
- [`%unifyVarsCaseSize()`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#unifyvarscasesize-macro) allowing to convert all variables in a list of datasets to all-low-case or all-upcase letters.

Both macros are result of recent discussions at `SAS-L` and `communities.sas.com`.

New format/informats:
- [`bpklength.`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#bpklength-format)
- [`bplength.`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#bplength-format)
- Bug fix in spelling (`lenght` vs `length`).

See [documentation](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/main/baseplus.md) for details.
