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.
