1.2.3

Addon version 1.2.3

The most noticeable change is to switch the project to dotnet6, Comes with its on benefit, taking advantage of the rewritten IO where PathingAPIV1 benefits the most.

Spent a great deal of effort to root out the async/await usage from the hot path. Improving the responsiveness quite significantly. Also Wait no longer allocates new objects when waiting for new feed from addon thread, rather uses thread synchronization.

Since many Goal execution moved to the OnEnter method, its by design the action no longer be able to repeat itself unless the KeyAction.Charge > 1. This was a long annoying issue, buffing and using consumables multiple times!

Reorganized the those goals which were heavily relied on the navigation with their own implementation. From now own all of them use the unified Navigation component. For more consistent behavior. On the other hand Navigation no longer blocks the bot thread but rather delegates the path request to its own thread and it is possible to discard the path result incase the owner goal no longer active.

While working on Navigation redesigned the AdhocNPCGoal both backend and in-game addon to eliminate any downtime during selling grey items. WalkToCorpse should behave much better by avoiding infinite death run.

As #255 merged to the dev branch, did a little bit overhaul around NpcNameFinder component, using parallelism to reduce the duration of the image processing time quite significantly improving the responsiveness even more.
