4.64.0.0

NOTE: first release that requires .NET 8

libmbin.dll & mapping.json >= 4.64.0.2 (included)

• add:
  • cmkNMSConfig.json ... finally broke down and added a config file.
    Currently only holds diff colors used when view text diffs in Pak Item tab.
    e.g. change highlight colors to increase contrast or for color blindness.
• change:
  • .NET 8 required.
    This removes some of the .NET 8 System.*.dll's that were being added to the nmsmb folder
    by 3rd party API's e.g. Roslyn.
  • Ebin moved top-level class guid from first line to 3rd line beside class name.
  • Tech tab list changed back to virtual, initial load time was too long when not virtual.
  • Conflicts tab no longer shows conflicts due to _SCRIPTS folder.
• fix:
  • Reworked CompilerAssemblies.txt to not load from both the .NET core folder
    and overrides in the app folder e.g. System.Text.Json.dll. Now first loads unique names from
    app folder then adds unique names from .NET core folder, so only version in app folder will be loaded.
  • cmk.NMS.Script.ModFiles:ReleaseModCollection was calling DispatcherBeginInvoke instead of DispatcherInvoke
    which resulted in a race that could prevent the script assemblies from unloading from the AssemblyLoadContext.
    Using the Newtonsoft or System.Text.Json classes in a script can also cause this, possibly because of the static's in:
    https://source.dot.net/#System.Text.Json/System/Text/Json/Serialization/JsonSerializer.Write.HandleMetadata.cs,2ca342a99419a245
    ... other .NET or 3rd party classes may cause the same issue.
• update:
  • Octokit NuGet package from 10.0.0 to 11.0.0.

  • Remove support for Game Pass save files, they aren't in same format as gog and steam.
  • Increase mem threshold from 16GB to 24GB for mbin text caching in Text Search tab;
    mbin.pc text caching threshold is still 32GB. i.e. if you have less than the
    threshold amount the text caching will be disabled, the search will still work.

    the current linked limbin.dll version.
