March 21 - FOX STABLE 1.6.0

New FXExpression class to evaluate numerical expressions. Its fast as it compiles to easy to interpret byte-code. It also allows expressions with variable arguments, which can be named arbitrarily.
Fixed but in fxtoDos and fxfromDOS; the end-of-string is no longer accounted for in the length [but it is still added, for convenience].
Changed sleep() API of FXThread; it now has a single argument, the number of nanoseconds to sleep.
Added wakeat() API to FXThread. The wakeat() API sleeps till the given absolute time is reached. The time is expressed as a 64-bit long counting nanoseconds since Jan. 1, 1970.
Added time() API to FXThread. It returns nanoseconds since Jan. 1, 1970.
Internal timer calculations in FXApp now use FXThread::time() and so on.
