Re: FOX Development release available!

That's a lot of breaking API changes in FXString, eg compare, comparecase,
compareversion.

Any reason why FXString::extent was removed? It was quite useful when
looping through a string:

for (int i=0; i<str.length();i=str.inc(i)) {
   // do something with length...
   utf8_length = str.extent(i)
}

Is comparenatural functional equivalent to compareversion?
