[Foxgui-announce] FOX DEVELOPMENT 1.7.68

[JVZ <je...@fo...>]

New version released today, 

A long list of things that have been building up over the last
few months, and should probably have been made available earlier.

Here it goes:

  - Added FXSystem::Time struct, system-independent time in parts. This comes with (at the moment) two routines,
    FXSystem::systemTimeFromTime() which converts FXTime to FXSystem::Time, and FXSystem::timeFromSystemTime() which
    converts time in parts to FXTime (in nanoseconds).

  - New routine FXSystem::systemTimeFormat() formats FXSystem::Time to a string, similar to strftime(), with a few
    extensions.

  - New routine FXSystem::systemTimeParse() parses FXSystem::Time from a string, similar to strptime(), with a few 
    (more) extensions.

  - New routine FXSystem::daysFromCivil() converts year, month, day to days since Unix Epoch in days.

  - New routine FXSystem::civilFromDays() converts Unix Epoch in days to year, month, day.

  - New routine FXSystem::timeFromNTPTime() Converts NTP time (64-bit ssss:ffff) to FXTime, nanoseconds since Unix Epoch).

  - New routine FXSystem::ntpTimeFromTime() Converts FXTime time to NTP time (64-bit ssss:ffff).

  - New routine FXSystem::leapSeconds() returns number of leap seconds since FXTime. It can be used to compute UT1 time
    (plus or minus fraction of a second).

  - The sysctl.h is now obsolete on Linux [still checked as not obsolete on *BSD].
   
  - Blending on in FXGLShape.
  
  - WM_ERASEBKGND message handler (on Windows) should return 1.

  - Small default width/height size calculation bug in FXTable fixed.

  - Some fixes in FXMat3d, FXMat3f with some SSE/AVX code.

  - Additional routines in fxendian.h: pop64(), pop32().

  - New routines in FXElement.

  - Some more missing math functions added in fxmath.h.

  - Fix in FXDate for pre-1970 time values (rounding wrong way).

  - FXTRACE in FXMetaClass constructors/destructors.

  - Some progress on new FXEventLoop/FXDispatcher/FXReactor classes.

  - FXThread naming.

  - Initialize FXQuatf/FXQuatd with Rodrigues angles, other APIs for Rodrigues angles added.

  - FXJSON parser exponent parsing bug fix.

  - FXCallback bug fixes.

  - FXText bug fixes/improvements.


Enjoy, and please give feedback about problems,
