## 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.

> [!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?
### Summary
* Adds contributors/sponsors to the "staff" list for holiday items.
* Unifies all of the staff lists
* Moves 2004 winter gifts to the appropriate folder
* Codegens the gift items
## Thank you!
Thank you to the RunUO/ServUO community, Owyn, Jaedan, the Outlands community, and the ModernUO contributors/community. Without all of you, this would not be possible! ❤️
### Summary
- Fixes some serialization issues with spell items
- Fixes accessibility issues with field spells and removes the awkward "InternalItem" concept
- Codegens the fields/items used in spells
### Summary
* Adds `StaticNoticeGump<T>` and `StaticWarningGump<T>`
* Converts NoticeGump/WarningGump to use `DynamicGump`
* Changes various uses of notice gump and warning gump to their static counterpart.
# 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
* Makes mount stamina significantly faster.
* Reduces absolute reset from 24 hours to 4 hours.
* Adds Pub 46+ Ethereal stamina where the stamina is global to all mounts for the player
* Removes serialization of stamina entirely because it's ok if it gets reset during shard restarts.
