- [X] Caches DateTime.NowUtc on the game loop (not other threads)
- [X] Replaces all locations where it makes sense
- [X] Adds Min/Max for `IComparable` (TimeSpan, DateTimes, etc)
Closes#261
- [X] Fixes generic persistence, making the API for writing from a static class much easier.
Example:
```cs
namespace Server
{
public static class ExampleSystem
{
public static void Configure()
{
GenericPersistence.Register("ExampleSystem", Serialize, Deserialize);
}
public static void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
// Do serialization here
writer.WriteEncodedInt(0); // version
}
public static void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
// Do deserialization here
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
}
}
}
```
- [X] Fixes map issues at New Haven by turning off static diffs
- [X] Some code cleanup and reformatting of tile matrix, tile matrix patch, and tile data
- [X] Adds NetState.Flush for generating spawners so it doesn't feel like the server is frozen
- [X] Reverts NativeReader changes from a while back.
- [X] Adds more string reading for BufferReader.
Notes:
BufferReader is still `little endian` compared to `SpanReader` which is `big endian` (for packets). To that end, the RunUO deserialization `ReadString()` was made obsolete since it is ambiguous, and contains extra fields other than simply reading a string. Furthermore, we shouldn't be using UTF8 (for now) since it is slow.
- [X] Fixes an issue in BufferWriter where if SeekOrigin.End is used, it will yield the wrong index.
- [X] Changes BinaryFileWriter to dispose pattern
- [X] Removes World.SaveBuffers. They were dangerous and should be done in-line while the world is loading, even if it is slower
- [X] Fixes BufferReader Seek too
- [X] Changes BufferWriter to use uninitialized arrays to speed up resizing
- [X] Changes World loading so it doesn't buffer the whole file, even if it makes things slower. It lowers allocations/fragmentation over all which is good.
- [X] Changes World Loading to use uninitialized arrays and directly saves them to the SaveBuffer which eliminates having to open/load the files _again_ which is dangerous. Also looping through items while the world is running is dangerous since async references can and will cause exceptions.
Bumps release version
- [X] Fixes an issue where a buffer smaller than 8 bytes would not double with enough space in some cases.
- [X] Fixes an issue with dupe copying the savebuffer reference (ugh).
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericWriter API to use better generics.
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericReader API to use better generics.
- [X] Forces `tidying` of a List/HashSet to be done externally since Writers/Readers should not have side effects.
- [X] Fixes an issue where Tidying a list didn't TrimExcess, causing memory leaks.
- [X] Reverted the meaning of `World.Running` to specifically refer to any world state post world loading.
- NOTE: Do not use this if you want to block on world saves. Instead use checks against `WorldState.Saving` states.
- [X] Fixes an issue with serializing negative DateTime deltas.
- [X] Fixes a potential issue with serializing non-UTC DateTime.
Bumps release version
- [X] Removes some string allocations (e.g. split)
- [X] Optimizes some collections
- [X] Converts insensitive to extension methods of built-ins.
- [X] Adds ordinal (case sensitive) string helpers
- [X] Fixes conditionals for in-game commands so they use Ordinal comparisons.
- [X] Replaces ToLower.Contains with InsensitiveContains
- [X] Adds ValueStringBuilder
- [X] Implements ValueStringBuilder in a few places where it makes sense
- [X] Removes the redundant Wrap function and replaces it with an optimized version
- [X] Fixes list conversions in Utility
Closes#351

## Breaking Change
* IP Matching no longer supports `?` (e.g. you cannot do: "192.16?.0.1")
* IP Matching no longer supports `*` and other values in the same section (e.g. you cannot do "192.1\*.0.1")
* To do "192.1\*.0.1", you should use the range option with three separate entries: "192.100-199.0.1", "192.1.0.1", "192.10-19.0.1"
## Non-Breaking Changes
- [X] Adds IPv6 support (not for servers though, just clients)
- [X] Adds interning support for IPv4 mapped to IPv6
- [X] Updates IPv4ToAddress (don't use this unless you know it is IPv4 or IPv4 mapped to IPv6)
## Note:
UO Does not support IPv6 for the server. To support an IPv6 server IP you will need to use CUO or some kind of custom client and probably modify it accordingly.
Bumps release version
- [X] Fixes IPAddresses not having enough space
- [X] Streamlines some code
- [X] Fixes base escortables to not load destination tables in a dangerous way.
- [X] Fixes some bad assumptions about resizing buffers
- [X] Fixes little endian issue with circular buffer writer
This doesn't seem to address #349. That issue requires more investigation because I am not seeing where the issue would be.
Closes#347Closes#322
- [X] Speeds up world loading
- [X] Removes PeekChar cause it wasn't used
- [X] Adds a BufferReader
- [X] Removes BinaryFileReader
- [X] Removes reading/writing `char` since it is not consistent and will cause a deserialize issue if used.
Bumps version release
- [X] Fixes several bugs
- [X] Updates more ordinal issues
- [X] Cleans up the code a bit
- [X] Turns classes static that should have been
- [X] Changes TcpServer.Instances to a HashSet
Bumps release version
- [X] Fixes bugs in the buffer writer
- [X] Removes background save commands
- [X] Avoids calling Serialize() on deserialization
- In a future optimization I will copy the entire object to a buffer, deserialize using a SpanReader, then use that buffer for the SaveBuffer
- [X] Fixes issue with decay queue.
Bumps release version
- [X] Removes all save strategies
- [X] Removes duplicate file writer that won't be used
- [X] Removes persistence (it will become a duplicate system)
- [X] Add a save position variable to skip serializing a clean item/mobile
- [X] Update Guilds/Accounts to be IEntity types
- Because guilds are abstract, this may make serialization tricky.
- [X] Update the generalized IEntity writing
- [X] Update the load/save to write to buffers then to files in background
