New macro defer, which evaluates its input after the whole input was processed in a closer.

Due to a bug the backslash character did not escape the following newline after an escape macro (ironic).
Fixed.

The old-style macro evaluation is not available anymore. This significantly sped up the processing.
There were bug fixes for bugs that in some situations prevented the proper handling of ~/... format file names.

Some environment variables did not have the system property pair.
Fixed.

The maven plugin when used to convert a project to a Jamalized project does not create .mvn/extensions.xml in the subdirectories anymore.

There is a new environment variable JAMAL_DEV_PATH and system property jamal.dev.path.
See the documentation.

A bug prevented file include in Windows in some special cases.
Fixed.

snipline NAME can be used to define a single line snippet without an end snippet.

Options noUndefault and emptyUndef are handled by macro evaluation.

snip:check is reworked, extended and improved.

The core macro if now has several options and it is possible to test numeric comparisons as well as string emptiness.

The handling of lenient option has changed. From now on lenient has to be a global option.

Environment variable handling was refactored and the documentation was moved to the class defined in the API module.

JavaScript dependencies were upped to newer versions to avoid security issues.

Counter macros (from snippet) can be invoked with the parameter last to simply return the last value.

KillLine macro has to option keep that reverses which lines to keep and which lines to keep.

There is a new snip:lineCount macro that returns the number of lines in a snippet.

Options are not stored in option stores anymore.
Options are simple Identified objects stored along with the user-defined macros.
This also means that options can individually be exported, and the whole options store cannot be exported anymore in one.
