Just released the new version of `actor4k` .
`actor4k` is a small actor system written in kotlin using Coroutines.

The actor model is a design paradigm for building concurrent systems where the basic unit of computation, known as an actor, encapsulates its own state and behavior and interacts with others solely through asynchronous message passing. Each actor processes messages sequentially, which simplifies managing state changes and avoids common pitfalls like race conditions and deadlocks that arise with traditional multithreading approaches.

This model is particularly useful for highly concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. Its scalability and resilience come from the ability to isolate errors within individual actors through supervision strategies, making it a fitting choice for applications such as real-time data processing, microservices architectures, and any system that requires robust fault isolation and maintainability.
