### Summary
Adds the command [TrackLeaks to enable tracking item/mobiles that have been deleted but still have dangling references. Requires adding the _TRACK_LEAKS_ define constant during build.
### Summary
* Bumps to .NET 9 with updated dependencies
* Comparing a value type against null is no longer allowed
* CI/CD now uses the version specified in global.json
* Serialization generator updated to .NET 9 with bug fixes, fixes to turkish language, and parallelization
### 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
- 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
## BREAKING CHANGE
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> ```cs
> public virtual void GetContextMenuEntries(Mobile from, List<ContextMenuEntry> list)
> ```
> and similar functions changed to
> ```cs
> public virtual void GetContextMenuEntries(Mobile from, ref PooledRefList<ContextMenuEntry> list)
> ```
### Summary
Updates the serialization strategy to use `MemoryMappedFile` instead of thick buffers. This has the benefit of being on-par with the current implementation (based on hardware/OS), however won't incur the double-memory issue.
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> The `BinaryFileWriter` and `BinaryFileReader` has been removed in favor of `MemoryMapFileWriter` and `UnmanagedDataReader`
### Summary
- Removes copying private setters
- Fixes duping containers
- Adds public `Dupe.DoDupe` functions for external scripts to hook into the existing logic.
## 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.*
### 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`.
### 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!
## 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.
Thanks to @stefanomerotta for help!

### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<T>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for items. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var item in m.GetItemsInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
### Summary
Adds a generic entity persistence. This can be used to create new entity types that have a `Serial`.
Here is an example:
```cs
public class BOBEntries : GenericEntitySerialization<IBOBEntry>
{
public static void Configure()
{
Configure("BOBEntries");
}
}
```
The annotation tells the system what folder to serialize the entries to. The class/interface (`IBOBEntry`) is the root type that implements `ISerializable`.
## MAJOR CHANGE
Added a champion title system to facilitate the existing champion titles. This should make it easier to extend or create other related game content. Champion titles will be saved in a folder called _ChampionTitles_.
### Motivation
The motivation to refactor was two-folder, but mostly related to performance in two ways.
First, every player had a ChampionTitleInfo object with an array of ChamptionTitleInfo. We want to eliminate the need for this information unless a player actually uses it. This should save a considerable amount of memory.
Second, to facilitate the atrophy mechanic, the champion titles would run atrophy post-world save, adding to the time that the server is frozen. Eliminating this post-world save side effect unlocks our ability to further optimize the world save process since there are no direct side effects.
### Bugs fixed
- [X] Fixed titles getting cut off on the paperdoll
- [X] Fixed champion title not displaying overhead (OPL)

* Fixes a major bug where players can stack items into their backpack infinitely even if they get a message saying they can't.
* Fixes other minor issues and cleans up code.
### Changes
* Implements an AfterSerialize method that is executed synchronously.
* Removes `BeforeSerialize` support since it was dangerous in its current implementation.
* Moves PlayerMobile kill/virtual decay to AfterSerialize.
* Adds kill decay to after Deserialize.
## 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 | - |
