[ANN] Release 8.1.0 DP 2

[Monte Goulding]

I don’t think there’s a bug but it may be appear so depending on how you test the function. For example:

get func() — will set it to the return val so don’t do that to test this

Additionally the result is district from the value of the function so:

put func() is the result — will be false

For clarity here’s the tests that pass for this build:
