Release v2.0.0

This release brings overall performance and compression enhancements to the command-line utility by switching to NativeAOT compilation and generating WebP image files.

The removal of the Windows-only OptiPNG dependency allows full functionality of PS2MapTool on Linux and MacOS platforms.

⚠️ This release has multiple breaking changes to the command surface, output file format, and the core library.

CLI changes:

• breaking: the output path now defaults to the working/current directory, rather than the directory the tiles were loaded from.
• breaking: the stitch command now produces WebP files, allowing for faster compressed output, smaller files, and a removal of the optipng binary dependency that limited proper compression to Windows.
• breaking: the stitch command no longer supports disabling compression.
• fix/breaking: the max-parallelism of the stitch command can now be set to a maximum value of the number of CPU processors available, rather than a hardcoded limit of 16.

Library changes:

• breaking: minimum TFM of net10.0
• breaking: the IImageCompressionService interface and OptiPngCompressionService have been removed
• breaking: the service collection registration helper has changed namespace and been renamed. Now PS2MapTool.Extensions.IServiceCollectionExtensions.AddPS2MapToolServices()

Release v1.1.0

This release adds the ability to extract no-deployment zones as images.

Untested support for stitching tiles from the beta game version has also been implemented.

Major code cleanup and refactoring has also taken place, which should result in better reliability (particularly around the compression process).

There are two flavours of binaries included in this release - framework-dependent and self-contained. The former is much smaller in size (~3mb vs ~28mb) but requires you to have the .NET 5 Runtime installed.
