#Changelog

Core:

Refactored the Entity-Component system to remove reliance on external library parameters. The underlying implementation has been changed to a linked list.
Removed GetEntity.
Added GetNextEntity and GetPrevEntity.
Removed I_Entity.Id, I_Entity.Get, and their corresponding implementations.
Added I_Entity.GetNextComp and I_Entity.GetPrevComp, along with their implementations.
Renamed I_FatComponent to I_Component, and I_Component to I_RawComponent, as I_RawComponent is used less frequently than I_Component.
Added Err.End error value and the IsEnd function.

Renamed to StageCore.
Renamed MatchTagPatternPath to MatchPath.
MatchPath now returns Err.NoMatch upon fail instead of None.
Removed List and Sets to StageUtils.
Removed pairing and unpairing functionality from I_Receiver.
Added AbstractReceiver to streamline building custom receivers. This FB merges receiver and callable functionality.
Added Err.InvItf to cover scenarios when interface valid but incorrect.

The I_Execute.Execute(nPhase: INT) method now supports dynamic phase dispatch. Each execution node includes a Phase property, allowing the same I_Execute implementation to participate in multiple execution stages through a single method. The same feature has been added to I_Init and Init.

New Feature: Entity Scopes – Introduced a seamless and automatic way to assign components to entities using EntityStart, EntityEnd, and EntityExtend(I_Entity). Components are now automatically linked when declared within these function blocks.
Removed all ...Proxy function blocks. Their functionality has been integrated into the Proxy property of corresponding function blocks. Example:
```
signal: Signal := (Proxy := iSignalEmit1, Proxy := iSignalEmit2);
```
Tag has been split into TagBase and Tag.
- TagBase is not a component.
- Tag is a component and will be added to the entity automatically.
TagBase and Tag no longer require an Option upon initialization. This property can now be set optionally:
```
tag: Tag := (Option := 'SomeOption');
```
_tag: Tag in State function blocks is now accessible in derived function blocks.
Runtime execution will be disabled if the DebugMsg table contains any entries.
Change visibility of all State methods to protected.
Change visibility of all FB_Init methods with attribute 'hide'.
Exposed Option of Receiver and Signal function block tags.
Added IsFail function, that returns TRUE if the Result is NOT Ok.
Improved comments
Change Result of many methods that previously returned None to return Err.NotFound instead.
GetUnixTime now allows offset.
Fix typos ArgToI*Arg to IArgToI*Arg.
In all Get* methods/functions, replaced VAR_OUTPUT with VAR_INPUT REFERENCE TO ... to reduce boilerplate.

Added Math feature that aggregates various math related functionality such as LowPassFilter, Random or Normalization.

Fix: GetUnixTime now returns the correct timestamp. Previous timestamp returned value 78 seconds in the future.
Fix: Removed obsolete dependences.
Update project to 4026.13
