The entire contents of the aforementioned disclosures are incorporated by reference. SEQUENCE LISTING This application incorporates by reference in its entirety the sequence listing entitled “SeqListing_ELDN008C1.XML” created on Nov. 20, 2019, at 3:15 pm, that is 84,560 bytes in size, and filed electronically herewith. FIELD Anti-CD40L antibodies, compositions comprising the antibodies, and method of using same for treatment of CD40L-related diseases or disorders. BACKGROUND The interaction of CD40 with its ligand CD40L plays a critical role in regulating immune responses. Binding of CD40L to CD40 triggers activation of the CD40 pathway which up-regulates costimulatory molecules such as CD80 and CD86. Blockade of the interaction between CD40 and CD40L by monoclonal antibodies has been shown to result in protection from autoimmunity and graft rejection in various preclinical models. Recently, in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, an antibody directed to CD40L was shown to delay disease onset and prolong survival the onset of disease. (U.S. Pat. No. 8,435,514, hereby incorporated by reference). In early clinical studies, the humanized anti-CD40L antibody hu5c8 showed efficacy in patients with lupus and in patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura. However, incidents of thromboembolism in the patients treated with hu5c8 halted further trials. Further in vitro and preclinical animal studies established that interaction of the Fc with the Fc receptor FcγRIIa caused platelet activation, and aggregation, that resulted in thromboembolic events. In addition, it has been reported that binding of the Fc to complement may reduce or prevent induction of immune tolerance. Various approaches have been taken to reduce or eliminate the interaction of the immunoglobulin Fc region with FcγRIIa, and/or to reduce or eliminate the interaction with complement, including introducing point mutation(s) in the Fc region to make anti-CD40L antibodies which lack Fc effector function. Other approaches use fragments of antibodies lacking the Fc region or antibodies that contain multiple amino acid substitutions in the Fc region. Although the anti-CD40L antibody, hu5c8, showed efficacy in human patients there is no anti-CD40L antibody on the market. Accordingly, there is a need for improved anti-CD40L antibodies for administration to humans that are efficacious and do not cause platelet activation or aggregation or bind to complement yet are stable and bind to CD40L. SUMMARY Novel antibody polypeptides and antigen binding fragments thereof, of the present invention provide such improved anti-CD40L antibodies. The following section only summarizes certain aspects of the present disclosure and is not intended to be limiting in nature.
