### Summary
- Create BitMask256 struct with scalar operations (benchmarks showed AVX2 vectorization provides no benefit for this size)
- Refactor Map.cs to use BitMask256 for full Z range support (-128 to 127)
- Remove SectorSpawnCache struct, use BitMask256 directly in manager
- Update tests to use BitMask256 directly
- Remove unused test assertions for old 64-bit behavior
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Developer Note**
> THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE TO THE NEW API GUMP.
> Please give us feedback in [discord ](https://muo.gg/discord) if you have issues, need help, or have ideas for a better API change!
### Summary
* Adds support for size/style to dynamic/static builder.
* Drastically simplifies the dynamic/static builder api for AddHtml.
* Cleans up some legacy gump files.
### Summary
Refactors ScheduledEvent and EventScheduler API to use TimeOnly so recurrence offset is explicit.
API:
```cs
public ScheduledEvent(
DateTime startAfter,
DateTime endOn,
TimeOnly time,
IRecurrencePattern recurrence,
TimeZoneInfo timeZone = null
)
```
Example:
```cs
// Schedule a daily event at 8:00 AM UTC
EventScheduler.DailyAt(
new DateTime(2024, 6, 1, 8, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc),
() => Console.WriteLine("Daily event triggered!")
);
// Schedule a custom recurring event at 3:30 PM UTC every Monday
var recurrence = new WeeklyRecurrencePattern(1, DaysOfWeek.Monday);
EventScheduler.Shared.ScheduleEvent(
DateTime.UtcNow,
new TimeOnly(15, 30),
() => Console.WriteLine("Weekly Monday event!"),
recurrence
);
```
### Summary
* Adds an event scheduler.
* Adds conveniences for hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, ordinal monthly, and yearly recurrences
Example:
```cs
var tz = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("America/New_York");
// Specify the time of the day, and the day of the week you want it to occur. Make sure it is translated into Utc.
// The next occurrence will be _after_ the specified date/time.
var scheduledEvent = EventScheduler.WeeklyAt(new DateTime(2025, 04, 26, 17, 00, 00), StartEvent, tz);
void StartEvent()
{
World.Broadcast(0x30, false, "The event has started!");
}
Console.WriteLine("Event starts on {0}", scheduledEvent.NextOccurrence);
```
In this example, on _Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 @ 5pm ET_, the message "The event has started!" will be broadcasted.
### Summary
* Bumps to .NET 9 with updated dependencies
* Comparing a value type against null is no longer allowed
* CI/CD now uses the version specified in global.json
* Serialization generator updated to .NET 9 with bug fixes, fixes to turkish language, and parallelization
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> This code change will **completely move gumps out of the core**
### Summary
- Adds `GetGumps()` convenience which exposes methods to Find/Close/Send multiple gumps. This helper is a performance improvement by eliminating the Dictionary<Player, List> lookup for gumps.
### Summary
* Added World.NewVirtual for creating virtual serial numbers
* Reserved range 0x7EEEEEEE to 0x7FFFFFFF for virtual serials
* Hair and Facial hair (for mobiles) now use virtual serials instead of FakeSerial() functions
* Consolidated virtual hair to a single `VirtualHairInfo` class.
Corpse hair and facial hair now persists across save/load and hair and facial hair no longer teleport to newest corpse.
### Summary
- Generalizes the On/Off toggle items concept
- Updates the OnOffGump so it is static
- Standardizes OnOff items so they can be used by staff
### Notes
Decided to not fix#1417 because it is not clear that the clilocs or errors are for that purpose. Can't test this on OSI anyways.
## Summary
### Changes
- Adds `[IgnoreDupe]` and `[SerializedIgnoreDupe]`
- Updates all _known_ classes that need the attribute. Some might be missing, please helps us find them!
- Adds `Item.Dupe()` command and encapsulates `CopyProperties` and `OnAfterDuped`. This is also overridable.
- Updates Dupe command to use the new logic.
- Fixes duping multiple kinds of objects that used to be outright broken.
### Bug Fixes
- Fixes issue with durability after duping
- Fixes issue with hue after duping
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> Customizing how duping an item works now requires two steps:
> 1. Add `[IgnoreDupe]` or `[SerializedIgnoreDupe]` to the property/field
> 2. Add custom logic in an `OnAfterDuped` override
>
> When do you need to do this?
> *When the property being copied is not a primitive, and you need to manually deep-clone the contents of the property such as with Lists, Dictionaries, or sub classes.*
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> Now developers will only need to build/run the Application project instead of everything.
> When adding new projects, make sure to:
> 1. Add a reference to that project in the Application project.
> 2. Add the dll file to the Distribution/Data/assemblies.json file
### Summary
- Adds an application project
- Consolidates process restarts to use `Core.Kill(true)`
- Removes some old messaging, for example processor optimization
- Fixes missing build cleanup
> [!Warning]
> Users on Linux/OSX will need to follow the Readme
> and make sure `libdeflate` is properly installed
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> The API for compression has changed. Use `Deflate.Standard` for the same functionality.
### Summary
* Replaces Zlib with LibDeflate for a 50% performance improvement!
* Adds MacOS 14 to properly test Arm64
### Summary
* Removes old gump packet support
* Removes support for v4 clients
* Removes `Unpack` flag and assumes it is always true.
* Removes StringToBuffer since this is built into .NET now.
