1.12.3

[verhas]

• Various bugfixes and dependency version updates.

• Sorting macro is available in the snippet library, developed by Michael

• the macro define has options for all the different "define" types, like pure, verbatim etc.
  Originally these can be reached using special characters, which are less verbose, but cryptic.
  The old syntax is still usable,but not recommended.

• file macro in snippet package now has formatting placeholders bareNaked and nakedN as well as extensions and extensionN with the possible N values being 1,2,3,4, and 5.

• the macro counter can save its actual value using -> .
  This is a shortcut to a series of macros.

• The asciidoctor preprocessor caches the result of the last run and executes Jamal only when the input changes.
  It also takes the included and imported files into account.

• a bug in the core of the processing engine that caused in some rare cases over indexing exception

• the environment variable JAMAL_DEV_PATH now can point to a file instead of containing the replacements directly

• Macros reading and writing a file can go through a hook that the embedding application can provide.
  It is used by the asciidoctor implementation to list all the files read during the processing.

• Jamal mock library is implemented, that can be used to mock some macro for user defined macro testing

• A warning is given when a macro is defined in a scope, but it is not used

• Macro for supports the aliases sep and subsep`

• In addition to the special characters in the macro define, the behaviour can also be altered using options.

• the option RestrictedDefineParameters is now available for the define macro, to restrict parameter names to be identifiers
