## Summary
- Adds `public virtual bool Murderer => Kills >= 5` property to `Mobile`, replacing ~30 scattered `Kills >= 5` / `Kills < 5` magic-number checks across the codebase
- `BaseCreature` overrides `Murderer` to also return `true` when `AlwaysMurderer` is set
- Updates `Corpse` serialization to v15, storing `_murderer` as a `bool` field (migrated from `int Kills >= 5` in earlier versions)
### Summary
- Fix AccountGold gold duplication exploit: When AccountGold.Enabled was true, double-clicking a BankCheck deposited
the full value to the account but then continued creating physical gold piles for the same amount, duplicating the
value
- Fix Deposit/DepositUpTo partial deposit exploit: Both methods created new max-size gold piles and checks without
first filling existing partial stacks, wasting container slots and causing premature "bank full" failures that could
be leveraged to manipulate gold distribution
- Fix BagOfSending bank stacking: Gold and BankCheck items sent via BagOfSending now use Banker.Deposit for efficient
stacking instead of naive TryDropItem, which could fail on a full bank even when existing piles had room
- Improve gold/check deposit efficiency: Banker.Deposit and Banker.DepositUpTo now top off existing gold piles (up to
60k) and bank checks (up to 1M) before creating new items, maximizing use of available container slots
## Summary
- Removes allocation of a `List<ContextMenuEntry>` every time a context menu is created.
- Moves packet/context menu creation logic out of the core
- Fixes tame entry

## MAJOR CHANGE (API BREAKING)
Moved the virtues to it's own system _VirtueSystem_. This should make it easier to extend or remove the virtue system. Virtues will be saved to a new folder called _Virtues_.
### Motivation
The motivation was also two-fold, performance/stability, and to fix bugs.
First, virtues is the second system (first is murders), that has a pre-world-save check on _every mobile in the game_ to atrophy virtue stats. This is taxing since it freexes the world and makes world saves take longer. Every mobile had Gain/Loss dates for each virtue, whether they needed them or not. Most players don't even use the virtue system, so this will increase performance considerably.
Second, when I tried to optimize/refactor the code, I found several bugs that needed to be fixed.
### Major API Changes
- [X] The properties on players related to virtues are gone. Use `pm.GetVirtues()?.<PropertyName>` instead.
- [X] Virtues were removed from non-player Mobiles.
- [X] `pm.JusticeProtectors` was removed. Use `JusticeVirtue.GetProtector()` or `JusticeVirtue.GetProtected()` instead.

## **MAJOR CHANGE**
* `Stabled` has been moved to `PlayerMobile`.
* New methods added, `PlayerMobile.AddStabled` and `PlayerMobile.RemoveStabled`.
* Added `PlayerMobile.AddFollower` and `PlayerMobile.RemoveFollower`.
* `Stabled`, `AutoStabled`, and `AllFollowers` are now `HashSet` and **_CAN BE NULL_**.
### Summary
* Fixes monster abilities causing harm to the monster through reflect
* Adds `CanTriggerAgainstSelf` to override this for healing or some other self-affecting ability
* Fixes a major memory leak where `UnsummonTimer` from animated dead spell lasts up-to 24hrs and therefore holds onto references of dead/deleted mobs.
* Fixes another minor leak where a mob is not unregistered from the animated dead spell list until the next spell cast.
- [X] `BaseRegion.CheckTravel` now properly cascades through parent regions
- [X] `SpellHelper.CheckTravel` now returns a failure message instead of sending one internally.
- [X] Consolidates travel restriction messages so they aren't duplicated.
## Changes
- [X] Adds OPL convenience methods
- `opl.Add(cliloc, value)` and `opl.Add(value)` - value as an integer or string works just like `opl.Add(cliloc, $"{value}")`
- `opl.AddLocalized(cliloc, clilocValue)` - works the same as `opl.Add(cliloc, $"#{clilocValue}");`
- [X] Simplifies basic `list.Add()` situations
- [X] Changes cliloc as an argument so it works with custom IPropertyList implementations (HTML)
- [X] Fixes plants so they support the old localization and new (changed in 7.0.12.0+)
- [X] Exposes more methods to override for Item to make creating custom OPL possible.
## Important Notes
* Using a ternary as an argument, like this `opl.Add(number, showType ? $"{type}\t{value}" : $"{value}");` _will not use the correct string interpolation_. This means if you use a custom PropertyList (for HTML or some other purpose), the property list won't be localized properly.
* All localization values must be interpolated, even if they are literal strings, or integers. Example: `opl.Add(number, $"{"Charges"}\t{m_Charges}");` is correct. Using the following: `$"Charges\t{m_Charges}"` will not work for custom PropertyList implementations!
## Breaking Changes (New API)
ObjectPropertyList supports the following API:
```cs
list.Add(500000);
list.Add(500001, stringArgument);
list.Add("Some text");
list.Add($"Some text with {argument}");
list.Add(500002, $"{arg1}\t{arg2}");
```
## Notes
1. All API uses that require a formatter like this:
```cs
list.Add(500002, "{0}\t{1}", arg1, arg2);
```
Should be changed to use string interpolation, for example:
```cs
list.Add(500002, $"{arg1}\t{arg2}");
```
2. The following paradigm should no longer be used:
```cs
list.Add(1061170, prop.ToString()); // strength requirement ~1_val~
```
The new string interpolation API will avoid having to convert the argument to a string before writing it to the packet. Instead use the following:
```cs
list.Add(1061170, $"{prop}"); // strength requirement ~1_val~
```

```
### Changes
- [X] Removes crash in STArray.Return when array is null.
- [X] Fixes NPE in OPL when entity is null. Serial in packet will be 0 when entity is null.
- [X] Fixes NPE in AosAttributes when Parent is null.
- [X] Changes OPL to use string interpolation.
- [X] Introduces `IPropertyList` to allow extending PropertyList for other uses.
- [X] Caches DateTime.NowUtc on the game loop (not other threads)
- [X] Replaces all locations where it makes sense
- [X] Adds Min/Max for `IComparable` (TimeSpan, DateTimes, etc)
Closes#261
- [X] Fixes an issue where a buffer smaller than 8 bytes would not double with enough space in some cases.
- [X] Fixes an issue with dupe copying the savebuffer reference (ugh).
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericWriter API to use better generics.
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericReader API to use better generics.
- [X] Forces `tidying` of a List/HashSet to be done externally since Writers/Readers should not have side effects.
- [X] Fixes an issue where Tidying a list didn't TrimExcess, causing memory leaks.
- [X] Reverted the meaning of `World.Running` to specifically refer to any world state post world loading.
- NOTE: Do not use this if you want to block on world saves. Instead use checks against `WorldState.Saving` states.
- [X] Fixes an issue with serializing negative DateTime deltas.
- [X] Fixes a potential issue with serializing non-UTC DateTime.
Bumps release version
### API Breaking Change
Combined `AsciiMessage` and `UnicodeMessage` into a single function that takes two arguments, `bool ascii` and `string lang`. Lang can be null (or anything) if ascii is true.
