Professor's Toolkit: Ghost Torch 1.0

From v0.5.9 → v1.0

Ghost Torch has officially reached Version 1.0.
Although this release marks the completion of the original vision for the project, ghost torch is not done yet, but with that being said; The core feature set is now considered complete, and future updates will focus on refinement, compatibility, performance, and carefully considered quality-of-life improvements rather than expanding the scope of the mod.

I'm incredibly excited to see where this journey leads. Ghost Torch is the first entry in what I hope will become the Professor's Toolkit collection, and this is only the beginning. Whether you've been here since the early versions or you're just discovering the project today, thank you for being a part of it. I hope you'll join me for the adventures ahead—and I'll see you in the next project.
