Just FYI.

SAS Packages Framework, version 20230112

As usual you can find it at https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES

Whats new:

In the %generatePackage() macro:

• A packageGenerated macrovariable added to packages metadata.It contains timestamp when the package was generated in the ISO8601 form (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss) The variable is from now on used the log output for headers in lading, help, preview, etc.
• Diagnostic messages for loading required packages extended.
• Help info updated for macros dedicated to CASL UDFs and IML modules loading.
• SHA256 hash digest for the package is calculated in two versions(types). Type F generates digest for whole package zip file. Type C generates digest for package zip file content. For developer convenience both digests are generated and displayed. Details are available in the documentation.

The %verifyPackage() macro adjusted to new digest types. For the backward compatibility verification works also of packages generated with previous versions of SPF.

Documentation updated.
