### Summary
* Adds logging if Amount goes to zero. It should never go to zero!
* Deletes an item if it mutates with zero amount.
* Eliminates possible allocation from `params` for `Type[][]` loot pack construction.
* Renames `Loot.ChestOfHeirloomsContains` to `Loot.RandomChestOfHeirloomsContent`.
## Breaking Changes
* The Firewall and IP Limiter have been rewritten. Please read the notes carefully!
* `TcpServer.Instances` moved back to `NetState.Instances` - sorry - it was stupid to move it to begin with.
> [!Note]
> Sockets that fail the IP Limiter or Firewall will be immediately and forcibly disconnected.
> This means they will be stuck at "Verifying account..." if it was a real client.
### Summary
- Removes firewall wildcard support.
- Removes `AccessRestrictions`.
- Moves Firewall/IPLimiter to the core.
- Moves `TcpServer` to its own thread.
- Removes the `SocketConnect` and `SocketDisconnect` event sinks.
- Moves `Instances` back to `NetState.Instances`.
- Fixes a long standing bug with bad handling of duplicate listener addresses.
#### Firewall
The firewall has been completely rewritten. There is now an "Admin Firewall" which saves to the config file. Secondarily, there is an internal firewall used exclusively by the TcpServer while processing sockets. The Admin firewall mirrors it's additions/deletions to the internal firewall by adding requests to a queue.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Wildcard firewall entries, such as `X`, `*`, `?` are not allowed.**
> **Ranges in between IP classes or sextets are not allowed.**
> **Please make sure to use one of the following:**
> * IP Address - `192.168.1.1`
> * CIDR - `192.168.1.0/24`
> * Range - `192.168.1.1-192.168.1.100`
#### IP Limiter
The IP Limiter has been completely rewritten. The available configurations are:
```json
"ipLimiter.enable": "True",
"ipLimiter.maxConnectionsPerIP": 10,
"ipLimiter.clearConnectionAttemptsDuration": "00:00:00:10",
"ipLimiter.clearThrottledDuration": "00:00:02:00",
```
The IP Limiter is set up to prevent spamming connections from the same IP. Every time an IP connects, it is added to a connection list. After 10 attempts, the IP is added to the throttle list. To keep the system fast, the connection list is entirely wiped every 10 seconds, and the throttle list is entirely wiped every 2 minutes.
### Summary
* Fixes syntax compile error when THREADGUARD is enabled.
* Removes `int packetLength` from incoming packet handles since they aren't needed.
### Developer Notes
Incoming packet handler `SpanReader` is now properly scoped to that packet by length.
### Summary
- Fixes issues with non-_ISerializable_ objects having bad serialization (Skill/Stat. Mods)
- Fixes issues with MarkDirty and namespaces: https://github.com/modernuo/SerializationGenerator/issues/29
- Fixes missing dirty tracking for some data structures.
- Fixes cascading MarkDirty for non-serializable types that have owners that are also non-serializable types.
### New Codegenned API
When a data structure (Array, List, Dictionary, HashSet, etc) is source generated for serialization, new methods are added which will handle dirty tracking. Use these instead of the built in methods for that data structure.
_All Data Structures_
```cs
public void Clear<PropertyName>();
```
_Lists and Sets_
```cs
public void AddTo<PropertyName>(V value);
public void RemoveFrom<PropertyName>(V value);
```
_Lists_
```cs
public void InsertInto<PropertyName>(int index, V value);
public void RemoveFrom<PropertyName>At(int index);
```
_Dictionaries_
```cs
public void AddTo<PropertyName>(T key, V value);
public void RemoveFrom<PropertyName>(T key);
public void ReplaceIn<PropertyName>(T key, V value);
```
Over time, they will be cleaned up and more variants added such as `bool RemoveFrom<PropertyName>(T key, out V value)`
### Summary
* Refactors getting static/multi tiles to not use allocations.
* `TileList` is now only used during bootstrapping and uses rented buffers to eliminate extra allocations.
* Replaces `StaticTile[] GetStaticTiles` with:
```cs
Map.StaticTileEnumerable GetStaticTiles(int x, int y);
Map.StaticTileEnumerable GetStaticAndMultiTiles(int x, int y);
Map.StaticTileEnumerable GetMultiTiles(int x, int y);
```
* Removes `Synchronized` and `lock` from TileMatrix. It is no longer considered a multi-thread safe system.
### Summary
- Removes old death packet that isn't used. Doubtful this causes issues with clients that are v4+.
- Removes duplicate incoming packets. Again, probably to fix some old client issues, doubtful it affects clients v4+.
- Fixes setting serials and entities in props/commands. Note: Disabled setting `Parent` since the new sector code has issues. We shouldn't rely on it anyway!
- Reverts a recent change to healthbars that should not have been made. Oops!
### Summary
- Works around a sneaky edge case bug in the JIT with stackalloc where sometimes the buffer is not zero'd.
- Fixes SendDisplayBoatHS
- Fixes sending health bars in the `SendEverything()` logic.
- Fixes a bug in sizing for some string helper functions.
### Developer Note
We are enabled `SkipLocalsInit` - do not rely on `stackalloc` to be zero'd. To zero the buffer, use `span.Clear();`
Closes#1606
### Summary
.NET 8 supports Xoroshiro 256** off the shelf and added Shuffle. Switching to that implementation.
### Developer Notes
* Removed many convenience methods that weren't used.
### Summary
The BitArray class will be optimized over the next several years for various platforms/hardware and maintaining a duplicate for serialization is not practical. Removing the custom implementation. Recommend against using BitArray for serialization unless it is absolutely necessary.
### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<BaseMulti>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for multis. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var m in m.GetMultisInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
### Bug Fixes
- [X] Fixes an issue with searching through nested empty containers.
## BREAKING CHANGE
- Deletes `map.GetObjectsInRange` and `map.GetObejctsInBounds`
### Notes
Developers are expected to enumerate mobiles and items separately now using `map.GetMobilesInRange` and `map.GetItemsInRange`. This helps keep the code streamlined so we don't have to maintain multiple copies of ref struct enumerators that do the same thing.
### Fixes
- [X] Fixes bug with planks closing
- [X] Fixes issue with iterating items/mobiles from a null map
### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<NetState>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for clients. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var m in m.GetClientsInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<T>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for mobiles. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var m in m.GetMobilesInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
- [X] Fixed several locations where an NPC that was damaged would cause a server crash.
- [X] Removed an unnecessary allocation in guard fake calls (NPCs calling guards on you)
- [X] Fixes damage precision loss in Poison Strike Spell
- [X] BogThing no longer attempts to "search" for boglings to eat when it is at full health
### Summary
Modifying a ValueLinkList using one of the methods will bump the "version". This field is used by iterators (foreach loops) to determine if the link list was modified while iterating. The sector.Items (and in the future other lists), will no longer be safe to modify while iterating. The server will _CRASH_ if the ValueLinkList is modified.

### Summary
- Fixes usernames not being `Intern`ed
- Reverts methods related to getting accounts from returning `Account` to `IAccount`.
- Makes `IAccount` also `ISerializable`
- Adds `IGenericReader.ReadAccount()` and `IGenericWriter.Write(IAccount)` -> The read method supports the original serialization of username, and using `IAccount.Serial`. The write method only serializes the `Serial`.
- Exposes `ReadStringRaw()` to allow some advanced scenarios.
