release3.6.0

• I performed a major refactoring of the EditSystem class to implement better validation in the input fields of the EditSystem window. This was necessary to prevent users from entering incorrect values.
• I improved the system validation mechanism of the system.xml file when 'Simple Launcher' loads. Instead of warning the user about a corrupted file and shutting down the application, it will now remove any corrupted systems, alert the user, and preserve the well-formatted systems. This is useful in case of a corrupted system.xml file.
• I implemented in-memory download and extraction of files as a backup method in case the regular extraction method fails. This was done because some users were encountering extraction errors of newly downloaded files, due to file locks.

• Bug fixes.
