### Summary
Updates the serialization strategy to use `MemoryMappedFile` instead of thick buffers. This has the benefit of being on-par with the current implementation (based on hardware/OS), however won't incur the double-memory issue.
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> The `BinaryFileWriter` and `BinaryFileReader` has been removed in favor of `MemoryMapFileWriter` and `UnmanagedDataReader`
### Summary
- Cleans up target cancellation being called incorrectly.
- An invalid target type (which should never happen), now calls `OnTargetUntargetable` instead of `OnTargetCanceled`
- Removes double calls to `FinishSequence` in Spells.
### 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
- Fixes various exploits that can crash the shard when the client misbehaves.
- Clients will now be disconnected if they send packets that are marked as out of game only (new flag), while they are in-game.
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> Added an `OutOfGameOnly` which should be used to flag packets as only available out of the game.
> This is the opposite of, yet not the converse to `InGameOnly`.
### Summary
- Removes copying private setters
- Fixes duping containers
- Adds public `Dupe.DoDupe` functions for external scripts to hook into the existing logic.
## 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]
> **Developer Warning**
> The `PacketThrottle` callback return value is now reversed. `true` indicates the connection is _throttled_.
### Summary
- Fixes an issue where connections get stalled forever
- Fixes an issue where the throttler is not working properly
- Removes account attack limiter
- Rewrites IP limiter
- Removes IP restrictions (they weren't used, and not practical)
- Fixes issue where IP limiter was counting before firewall was blocking.

### Summary
- Fixes infinite loop with binary file writer
- Removes extra buffer copying with binary file writer
- Removes storing type counts during world save file writing
- Fixes display cache self-deletion warning during world load
> [!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
- Fixes an issue that causes CUO to crash due to bad string caching in static gumps
- Fixes wrong/bad 16bit html gump hues.
- Moves `C16232` (16-bit to 32-bit) and `C32216` (32-bit to 16-bit) to Utility class for broader use.
TODO:
- Some gumps have different 32bit (for string content) vs 16bit (for localized content) strings. Does this matter?
> [!CAUTION]
> **BREAKING CHANGE**
> Removed `OrderdHashSet` and `PooledOrderedHashSet` due to bugs.
> [!NOTE]
> **Developer Note**
> The OrderedSet is not a full data structure. It is not particularly efficient. Pull Requests are welcome for a better implementation, especially if it ends up supporting `ISet<T>` and `IReadOnlySet<T>`
## Summary
The ordered hash set was buggy. It's kind of painful to implement, so for now, I added a simple `OrderedSet` to suffice for gumps. Please reach out if this causes disruption!
### Summary
* Unifies reading UOP File indexes
* Adds ArtData file reader to get graphic bounds
* Automatically generates Bounds.bin from art file if missing
* Adds [GenBounds command to regenerate the bounds.bin file. Useful for when the art file changes.
# New Gump API
We are pleased to release a new API that is faster, allocates nearly zero memory, and still feels very similar to the original API. The API is broken into 3 types of gumps, dynamic, static with placeholders, and static without placeholders.
### Dynamic Gumps
These gumps will inherit `DynamicGump` and are meant for gumps that have a dynamic layout. This includes specifying dynamic arguments to HtmlLocalized entries.
## Static Gumps
Static gumps are those where the function to the build the layout is called only once and cached forever. They can optionally have placeholders. These placeholders allow the developer to specify the string values later, dynamically in a `BuildStrings` method on the gump. If a gump does not have any placeholders, the string entries will also be cached forever.
## Benchmarks
To make sure we were going in the right direction and not wasting time, we took copious benchmarks. Here are the final benchmarks for a really simple gump.
Note:
* The majority of creating a gump is compressing the layout and the strings. Compressing each section takes ~6,000ns (12us total).
```cs
| Method | Mean | Error | StdDev | Median | Ratio | RatioSD | Gen0 | Allocated | Alloc Ratio |
|------------------------------- |-------------:|-------------:|-------------:|-------------:|------:|--------:|-------:|----------:|------------:|
| OldGump | 13,308.29 ns | 1,059.695 ns | 1,883.608 ns | 14,330.72 ns | 1.000 | 0.00 | 0.1526 | 2400 B | 1.00 |
| DynamicLayoutGump | 13,357.86 ns | 129.144 ns | 226.185 ns | 13,323.60 ns | 1.029 | 0.17 | - | 48 B | 0.02 |
| StaticLayoutDynamicStringsGump | 6,653.10 ns | 81.815 ns | 143.292 ns | 6,617.45 ns | 0.514 | 0.09 | - | 40 B | 0.02 |
| StaticLayoutGump | 86.33 ns | 0.760 ns | 1.350 ns | 86.07 ns | 0.007 | 0.00 | 0.0020 | 32 B | 0.01 |
```
# Non-Breaking Changes
* All gump components in the core have been moved to `Gumps/Legacy`.
* All legacy gumps will still inherit `Gump`, which now inherits `BaseGump`
# Special Thanks
Thank you to @stefanomerotta for considerable contributions/benchmarking/testing to make this effort a reality! We collectively went through over 10 iterations, but it is finally ready.
### 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.
