Actor lifecycle management and routers – Akka Actors for .NET

Porting Akka to .NET

I finally got around to implement full lifecycle management in Pigeon.
The Pigeon actor behavior is now consistent with real Akka.

The following Scala test: https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/master/akka-actor-tests/src/test/scala/akka/actor/ActorLifeCycleSpec.scala
Is now ported to .NET and shows that the lifecycle events fire in the expected order: https://github.com/rogeralsing/Pigeon/blob/master/Pigeon.Tests/ActorLifeCycleSpec.cs

I’ve also managed to port the fundamentals of the Akka Routers, so RoundRobinGroup routing is now in place: https://github.com/rogeralsing/Pigeon/wiki/Routing

Completely boring blogpost but this is what I’ve been up to the last few days :-)
