Hi,

This post is to inform everyone that the latest version of SASLib.jl (in `master` branch) contains breaking changes. If there isn’t much controversy, I will tag the repo within the next week.

The data returned from reading SAS file is now properly wrapped in a struct. Doing this change comes with many benefits such as new accessor and cell/row/column indexing functions. Metadata is now returned separately using the `metadata` function. An updated user guide is available in the README file.
