v2.6.0

What's Changed

• Convert ReceiveContext interface into pure go struct. Small breaking change in https://github.com/Tochemey/goakt/blob/main/actors/actor.go#L45 instead of an interface now accept a pointer of ReceiveContext
• Convert PID interface to a pure go struct
• Rewrote the mailbox with concrete type instead of generics
• Rewrote the behavior stack implementation
• Refactor the Ask implementations
• Simplify the receive loop
• Reimplement how processing panic is recovered
• Fix latest message received metric recording poor implementation
• Reimplement how error are thrown during message processing. Use ctx.Error instead of panicking which is the recommended way.
• Remove unused code
• Remove deprecated NATs methods

• WithGCInterval helps sets the actors GC interval to clear up from the system and cluster dead(passivated) actors. This

Breaking Change

• chore: add bug template by @Tochemey in #369
• feat: add cluster client by @Tochemey in #371

New Addition

Go-Akt Client

This facilitates interaction with a specified Go-Akt cluster, contingent upon the activation of cluster mode. The client operates without knowledge of the specific node within the cluster that will process the request. With the client one can:

• Spawn - create an actor
• Stop - stops an actor
• Whereis - locate and get the address of a given actor
• Kinds - returns all the cluster kinds
• Tell - send a message to an actor without a reply(fire-forget)
• Ask - send a message to an actor with the expectation of a reply

v2.2.0

What's Changed

• Upgrade to go 1.22 by @Tochemey in #354
• Upgrade kubernetes dependencies by @Tochemey in #354
• Calibrate appropriately the default mailbox size and stash size. by @Tochemey in #358

• Remove examples code to a separate repo by @Tochemey in #362
• Update earthly/earthly to v0.8.14 by @renovate in #360
• PipeTo implementation by @Tochemey in #366

New

• PipeTo: send the successful result of a future(long-running task) to self or a given actor. This can be achieved from the PID as well as from the ReceiveContext
• Go-Akt runs now on go 1.22: this was necessary because the latest kubernetes dependencies are all running on go 1.22
