### Summary
* Replaces Zlib with LibDeflate for a 50% performance improvement!
* Adds MacOS 14 to properly test Arm64
### Summary
- Fixes issues with non-_ISerializable_ objects having bad serialization (Skill/Stat. Mods)
- Fixes issues with MarkDirty and namespaces: https://github.com/modernuo/SerializationGenerator/issues/29
- Fixes missing dirty tracking for some data structures.
- Fixes cascading MarkDirty for non-serializable types that have owners that are also non-serializable types.
### New Codegenned API
When a data structure (Array, List, Dictionary, HashSet, etc) is source generated for serialization, new methods are added which will handle dirty tracking. Use these instead of the built in methods for that data structure.
_All Data Structures_
```cs
public void Clear<PropertyName>();
```
_Lists and Sets_
```cs
public void AddTo<PropertyName>(V value);
public void RemoveFrom<PropertyName>(V value);
```
_Lists_
```cs
public void InsertInto<PropertyName>(int index, V value);
public void RemoveFrom<PropertyName>At(int index);
```
_Dictionaries_
```cs
public void AddTo<PropertyName>(T key, V value);
public void RemoveFrom<PropertyName>(T key);
public void ReplaceIn<PropertyName>(T key, V value);
```
Over time, they will be cleaned up and more variants added such as `bool RemoveFrom<PropertyName>(T key, out V value)`
### Summary
- [X] Removes migration files were committed that aren't actually (and have never) been used.
- [X] Moves runebook entry from being manually serialized to using the serialization generator.
- [X] Automatically collapses migration files in github PRs.
- [X] CI/CD now checks to see if migrations are missing or modified.
- [X] Updates dependencies
- [X] Adds Fedora 37, Alpine 3.17 support
## BREAKING CHANGE
**Publishing for linux will no longer include runtimes**
## Major Changes
* Adds .NET 7 support.
* Adds ARM64 support (experimental).
* Changes linux support to be open-ended against anything .NET 7 supports.
* Fixes native library resolutions. (Make sure to install `dev` versions of the libraries)
* Updates README
* Adds Ubuntu 22, CentOS 8/9 Stream to CI/CD.
## TODOs:
* Update modernuo.com docs
Closes#1173Closes#1159
* Adds `SerializationProperty` - This will generate the private variable for serialization. Also provides an option `useField` to specify your own. Example:
```cs
[SerializationProperty(0, useField: nameof(_resource)]
```
- [X] Replace serialization generator with nuget
- [X] Replace schema migration with dotnet bool
- [X] Add ability to run migrations in VS/Rider using a project build
* Fixes an issue with moving directories across volumes
* Removes usages of WebClient
* Removes usages of Cryptographic Providers
Note: Even though .NET 6 introduces Xoshiro RNG, there is no way to control the seed. I'll do some reconciliation of Xoshiro so it functions closer to the built in one. For the most part, it has parity though.
Benchmarks show there is nothing odd about the implementations, they are within 1ns of each other.
* Now reads Prof.txt to get the professions
* The templated professions are based on profession `TrueName`
* Adds missing starting equipment
* Implements gargish starting equipment
* Consolidates some of the code
* Moves TC stuff to the TC file.
* Fixes some starting equipment that was wrong.
Note:
* Implementing the original T2A professions is possible on the client side, but requires moving the old clilocs to the current clilocs file. In the current file the entries are blank.
* Using the original LBR professions (they match AOS but without necromancy/chivalry) is kind of confusing because the profession indexes are ripped out of the UOTD/UOR ones and have non-sequential indexes. This will probably cause confusion and people will get no templated items when they select the wrong profession.
## Adds Auto Archiving
Backups are archived once an hour, day, and month. Archives older than 60 days are pruned automatically.
_Note: Automatic pruning is off by default_
### Archive compression format
The following formats are supported:
* Zstd (The fastest with best compression ratio)
* GZip
* Zip
* None (Tar)
_Note: By default archives use [zstandard](http://facebook.github.io/zstd/) format.
The archive format can be changed in modernuo.json `autoArchive.compressionFormat`_
### Restoring world from archive
Move the archive to the Saves folder (tar.zst file). On startup the server will extract the file and restore the latest save. See pictures below.
### Manually extracting an archives
#### Windows
* Use the latest version of [7-zip w/ ZStandard](https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/releases/latest)
1. Extract the `.tar.zst` file.
2. Extract the `.tar` file. (Yes you have to do it in two steps)
* On Windows 10 you can use the command line. `zstd.exe` is in the Assemblies folder after building ModernUO.
1. `tar --use-compress-program "Distribution\Assemblies\zstd.exe -d" -xvf "Archives\Hourly\archivefile.tar.zst" -C "path to where you want to extract it"`
#### Mac
* Install [Keka](https://www.keka.io)
1. Drop the .tar.zst onto the keka interface.
#### Linux
1. Install zstd from a package manager
2. Run `tar -I zstd -xvf "Archives\Hourly\archivefile.tar.zst" -C "path to where you want to extract it"`
### Other changes
* Changes Autosave to occur at the same time no matter when the server is booted.
* Adds `[SaveFrequency <delay> [warning]`command to set save frequency and warning frequency in-game.
* Adds support for time zones that are configurable. The system timezone can also be manually configured. Check `TimeZoneHandler.cs` for details.
