Version 1.0

• Add date(year[, month[ ,day[ ,hour[ ,min[ ,sec]]]]]) function to create datetime from parts as arguments. The current value is used for any part not provided (e.g. date(null,1,1,0,0,0) returns midnight Jan 1 of the current year. Trailing null arguments may be omitted (i.e. date(2019,11,4) is the same as date(2019,11,4,null,null,null)). Time is built in the current timezone.
• Add map(array[, expr[, varname]]); similar to iterate(), it loops over the array, performing expr on each value, and builds a table with key as the original value, and the result of the expression as the value. For example, map(list("dog","cat","fish"), _+" food") returns a table { "dog"="dog food", "cat"="cat food", "fish"="fish food" }. If either the value or the result of the expression is null, it is omitted from the result table. In the expression, the value is represented by the pseudo-variable _ (underscore). If you give varname (third argument) to map(), that string will be used as the variable name instead. The special additional pseudo-variable __ (two underscores) is populated with the index in the array of each value as processed, such that map(list("dog","cat","fish"), __) yields { "dog"=1, "fish"=3, "cat"=2 }. If no expression is given, the default __ (two underscores--the array index) is used (that is, map(array) is equivalent to map(array, __)).
• The timepart([timestamp[, utc]]) function, which returns the time parts (a table with keys year, month, day, hour, min, sec, isdst) for the given timestamp (optional, default current time/date), not accepts an optional utc argument, which when true returns the UTC parts rather than the local time parts.
• POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGE: LuaXP now attempts to load a bit (bitlib, etc.) module. If such a module can be loaded and contains the required functions, it is used; otherwise, the legacy internal implementation (weak, but wiggling) is used. Note that the results of these various implementations vary, so the user/integrator is advised to choose a library and be consistent.
• POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGE: The __ name is now a reserved word.

Version 0.9.9

• Ignore whitespace between function name and paren in function refs (do same for array refs), so syntax isn't so strict.
• Slight optimizations throughout.
• Add Lua .. string concatenation operator.
• POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGE: the "+" operator now does a better job identifying strings containing numbers as numbers, and handling the operation as addition rather than string concatenation. I doubt this will present any issues except for (hopefully rare) cases where you actually want "123"+"456" to equal "123456". The .. operator (Lua string concatentation) has been added for deterministic handling as strings (e.g. '123'..'456' will always produce the string '123456' and not the number 579).

Version 0.9.8

• Implement split( string, sep ) function; splits string to array on sep (e.g. split( "1,2,3", ",") returns array [1,2,3]). Sep is a Lua pattern, so special chars must be escaped in the Lua pattern way (e.g. to use "+" as a separator, must specify "%+").
• Implement join( array, sep ) function; joins array elements with sep into string result (e.g. join( list( 1,2,3 ), ":") result is "1:2:3" ).

Version 0.9.7

• Support deferred evaluation for if() and iterate(), and logical operators (&&/and, ||/or)
• Change license to MIT License (previously GPL3)

Version 0.9.4

Fixes numerous bugs, adds date/time functions, iteration, lists, assignments (issue #); improves error reports (issue #2).
