### Summary
- Puts back `EventSink.SocketConnect`.
- Reverts networking change to push the networking to a separate thread.
- Reverts changes to the firewall by removing the firewall queue.
- Fixes listeners not shutting down with the server.
- Fixes race condition causing connections to get stuck even after they are disposed.
> [!NOTE]
> **Developer Note**
> Networking has been reverted back to using the main thread instead of a background thread. This alleviated complexity and the requirement for concurrent queues all over the place.
### Summary
- `GenericEntityPersistence` is now a type of `GenericPersistence`. This allows developers to serialize both entities and non-entities in the same system. 🎉
- Each `SerializationThreadWorker` now allocates 1MB of heap for serialization _permanently_. If more memory is needed, that thread will double it's memory, not to exceed increments of 64MB.
- Several bugs with serialization introduced with the pure MMF implementation have been fixed.
- `BinaryFileReader` has been added back. 🎉
- Adds `world.useMultithreadedSaves` to allow disabling threaded saves.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Developer Note**
> The split file serialization has been deprecated and is no longer used. We have effectively gone back to the same file writing we had before the pure MMF implementation.
### Summary
- Moves `CharacterCreated` event to UOContent using code generated event _CharacterCreatedEvent_.
- Moves `TargetByResourceMacro` event to UOContent using code generated event _TargetByResourceMacro_.
- Moves `GameLogin` event to UOContent using code generated event _GameLoginEvent_.
- Moves `ServerList` event to UOContent using code generated event _ServerListEvent_.
- Streamlines ProfessionInfo
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Developer Note**
> Custom scripts that use any of these event sinks will need to be updated to use the new code generated events.
### Summary
- Adds [Code Generated Events](https://github.com/modernuo/CodeGeneratedEvents)
- Removes EventSink.PlayerDeath
- Adds `PlayerDeathEvent` and `CreatureDeathEvent` using code generated events
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> Use `[OnEvent(nameof(PlayerMobile.PlayerDeathEvent))]` instead of `EventSink.PlayerDeath` delegate
> Check this commit for examples of how to use this.

> **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
- Drastically streamlines the spell targeting by collapsing the target classes into a single `SpellTarget<T>` class.
- Moves TargetRange to the spell itself so it can be used by MageAI.
- Changes range check in MageAI to use TargetRange. This should fix target acquisition bugs
### 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
- Fixes timer intervals not continuing
- Fixes `Timer.Index` being off by 1. Should start at 0 for the first OnTick
- Simplifies Gift of Renewal end check
- Fixes force of nature not applying at the proper time and simplifies the timer logic.
