### New objects
4 new objects have been added and are now usable in templates :
* **$bundle** \
the current bundle of templates
* **$now**\
provides the current system date and time in different formats
* **$file**\
allows to work with a file located on the filesystem, each file instance is created with $fn.file(..) or $fn.fileFromXxx(..)
* **$fkPart**\
a Foreign Key element (got from an attribute involved in 1 or more Foreign Keys)
