### 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.
## 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
## Changes
* Improves type hashing by introducing xxHash3 (64bit)
* Removes individual `tdb` files in favor of a single `SerializedTypes.db` file. This file is only used to identify a type that is being deserialized, which doesn't exist.
* Adds duplicate type alias detection
* Adds `AssemblyHandler.FindTypeByHash`

## SerializedTypes.db
The serialized types file is used to get back the original name of a type in case it no longer exists in code. This can easily be necessary if a class is renamed in code and no `TypeAlias` is provided.
### Format
byte[4] - version
byte[4] - count
--array--
byte[8] - xxHash
byte[1] - flag, 0 - null, 1 - not null
byte[n] - Full class name in UTF8

## Benchmarks
Serialized 500 Type fields. The 8192bytes comes from the _ConcurrentQueue_ that would later be used for SerializedTypes.
Note that the queue is never cleared, so it's size grew considerably.
```cs
| Method | Mean | Error | StdDev | Allocated |
|--------------------- |---------:|---------:|---------:|----------:|
| BenchmarkXXHash | 18.44 us | 0.278 us | 0.260 us | 8192 B |
| BenchmarkTypeStrings | 25.09 us | 0.292 us | 0.259 us | - |
```
TODO:
* Add support in the Serialization Generator for `ReadType()` and `Write(Type)`
* Remove `SetTypeRef` from Serialization Generator
* 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] Fixes issue with wepoll losing GCHandle.
- [X] `NetState.Disconnect()` is no longer thread safe.
- Use `Core.LoopContext.Post()` to post disconnects
- [X] Optimizes PollGroup by not processing IntPtr -> GCHandle for discard polls.
- [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
* 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.
**Note for Rider users** Code generation only works with Rider v2021.1+. For Rider 2021.1.x you must set a global msbuild attribute so that the IDE can recognize generated code after building. JetBrains claims this will be fixed in Rider 2021.2.
**Rider 2021.1 Required Setting for Code Generation**

**Note for VS 2019+ users**: Code generation requires completely cleaning your solution, doing a full build, closing VS 2019, and then opening the solution. This is a known issue and there are no plans to fix this multiple restart requirement for VS 2022 at this time.
- [X] Fixes bad `ReadEnum` by size
- [X] Fixes array, list, and set not handling null values properly.
- It will be up to the user (for now) to null out empty lists using `[AfterDeserialization]`. Convenience may be added later.
- [X] Fixes errors with `dotnet clean` and non-empty generation folder
- [X] Fixes bad field indexes on `Account.cs` causing `tags` to not be serialized/deserialized.
- This was caused by a duplicate entry. Don't have protection against this _yet_.
Roslyn Source generators are not supposed to access I/O. To get around this we have to use `AdditionalFiles` to give the analyzer access to read/load the schema files.
To write the schema files we have to use a separate program altogether.
- [X] Adds SerializationSchemaGenerator
- [X] Splits out the SerializationGenerator code
After speaking with the C# devs, it is clear that code gen is not ready.
I can get around this by doing the following:
1. Creating a library
2. Splitting out the schema writing from the source generator
3. Moving the schema loading to `AdditionalFiles`
4. Writing a new post-build application using Roslyn to write the schema files after building.
### Features
* Fully abstracts serialization by using compile-time attributes.
* Supports serializing the following:
- Primitives (integers, strings, etc)
- IP Addresses
- BigDecimal
- DateTime, Delta DateTimes
- TimeSpan
- Server.Race
- Server.Map
- Point2D, Point3D, Rect2D, Rect3D
- Existing/New `ISerializable` references
- Lists/Sets of serializable types
- Type with a `Serialize` method and constructor that takes an `IGenericReader`
* Supports forward-only migration
* Supports existing RunUO deserialization for older versions by changing to the following signature:
- `public void OldDeserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)`
- Must remove deserializing the version since this is already done
* Supports serializing from private fields or custom made properties.
* Types do not require inheriting Item/Mobile. Code gen will fully create `ISerializable` information.
- This is not recommended yet, since it requires wiring to `Persistence` which will cause lots of unresolved symbol errors until code gen is built.
### Example
```cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace Server.Items
{
[Serializable(1)]
public partial class TestItem1 : Item
{
[SerializableField(1)]
[SerializableFieldAttr("[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]")]
private List<Item> _someProperty;
private void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)
{
}
}
}
```
Generates this:
```cs
namespace Server.Items
{
public partial class TestItem1
{
#pragma warning disable 0414
private const int _version = 1;
#pragma warning restore 0414
[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]
public System.Collections.Generic.List<Server.Item> SomeProperty
{
get => _someProperty;
set
{
if (value != _someProperty)
{
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
_someProperty = value;
}
}
}
public TestItem1(Serial serial) : base(serial)
{
}
public override void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
var savePosition = ((Server.ISerializable)this).SavePosition;
if (savePosition > -1)
{
writer.Seek(savePosition, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
return;
}
writer.WriteEncodedInt(_version);
writer.Write(_someProperty);
}
public override void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
if (version < 1)
{
OldDeserialize(reader, version);
((Server.ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
return;
}
SomeProperty = reader.ReadEntityList<Server.Item>();
}
}
}
```
And this:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"type": "TestItem1",
"properties": [
{
"name": "SomeProperty",
"type": "System.Collections.Generic.List\u003CServer.Item\u003E",
"rule": "ListMigrationRule",
"ruleArguments": [
"Server.Item",
"SerializableInterfaceMigrationRule"
]
}
]
}
```
- [X] Adds support for Fedora 32/33 (runtimes included)
- [X] Adds support for RHEL 7/8 (will require manual install of zlib and argon2)
- [X] Updates dependencies
