CathodeLib 0.10.0

Available via NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/CathodeLib/

• Added ability to load all CathodeFile derivatives from MemoryStream (improves reading nested files, e.g. PAK2 contents)
• Adjusted string reader encoding (fixes AnimationStrings parsing/writing)
• Moved Entity lists within Composites to dictionaries to improve lookup performance (legacy accessors are available still in a list-style for backwards compatibility)
• Reworked hierarchy resolving: new methods ResolveAlias, ResolveProxy, and ResolveAliasOrProxy are available within CommandsUtils - GetResolvedAsString can return it as a string similar to the previous ResolveHierarchy method's functionality
• Modified composite purging logic for performance and reliability
• ShortGuidUtils now only saves the custom name table to Commands if the Commands object has itself been saved
• Fixed some metadata for Models and Textures
• Implemented support for SoundNodeNetwork files

Available via NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/CathodeLib/

• Added support for loading/saving COMMANDS.BIN files with the Commands parser
• Moved all Commands utilities to a local Utils member on the Commands object (aside from ShortGuidUtils, which remains accessible via a static class, and no longer requires using LinkCommands) - all utility metadata will now automatically load/save to Commands files

• Improved support for CHARACTERACCESSORYSETS.BIN, COLLISION.MAP, CUSTOMCHARACTERCONSTRAINEDCOMPONENTS.BIN, CUSTOMCHARACTERINFO.BIN, LIGHTS.BIN, MODELS_LEVEL.BIN/PAK, MODELS.MVR, REDS.BIN, SOUNDDIALOGUELOOKUPS.DAT, SOUNDEVENTDATA.DAT, SOUNDFLASHMODELS.DAT, SOUNDLOADZONES.DAT, LEVEL_TEXTURES.BIN/PAK files
• Reworked embedded metadata to reduce library size - this is now loaded into CustomTable.Vanilla
• Moved Combine method to ShortGuid from ShortGuidUtils
• Added helpful Is/As members on ShortGuid to get the ShortGuid as various enum types (also, reworked enums to have values of their associated ShortGuids)
• Fixed creation of entity parameters of unsupported types (defaults to cFloat)
• Fixed GetResource function on FunctionEntity (no longer only returns COLLISION_MAPPING)
• Improved support for CAGEAnimation and TriggerSequence special entity types
• Removed dependency on Newtonsoft Json
