v3.6.0

[Tochemey]

🚀 What's Changed

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed SpawnOn bug when running on a single-node cluster.
• Resolved issue with WithAnyErrorDirective.
• PostStart message is now correctly sent during Restart.
• TopicActor now properly cleans up dead subscribers to prevent resource leaks.

⚙️ Actor Passivation Reengineering

• [Breaking] Removed deprecated methods from ActorSystem:
  • WithPassivation()
  • WithPassivationDisabled()
• Introduced new passivation configuration using WithPassivationStrategy:
  • Time-Based Passivation: Automatically passivates an actor after a configurable idle period.
  • Message Count-Based Passivation: Passivates an actor after handling a specified number of messages.
• Runtime control added for passivation:
  • Use PausePassivation and ResumePassivation system messages to explicitly manage passivation.
