CHANGELOG

• Only .NET 10+ support.
• Some computed properties in BufferWrapper{T} were made readonly to hint the compiler to not create defensive copies.
• PersistentDictionary in all of its variants have been removed - used ArrowDb instead.
• SerializableObject<T>, MonitoredSerializableObject<T> and ThreadSafe<T> have all been combined into Synchronized<T> which is much simpler, more performant. But can be more manual as it isn't coupled with File.IO. Instead it provides a delegate that can be provided and called on update.
• Collections.IsNullOrEmpty and all the other alias functions for CollectionsMarshal have been removed.
• Utils subclasses have been flattened and all the contents will reside directly in Utils.
  • Strings.FormatBytes have been removed
  • Path utilities were also removed - use AppContext instead.
  • String.IsNullOrEmpty|IsNullOrWhiteSpace|Concat were also removed to enforce build-in language features.
  • TryConvertFromTo32 was also removed - int.Parse|TryParse are more than fast enough now.
• A struct PooledArrayOwner{T} was added to rent arrays from ArrayPool{T} without additional penalties.
  • Extensions to match were added to any ArrayPool{T} including Shared, they allow you to get the owner and the array at the same time. using var owner = ArrayPool{T}.Shared.Rent(minLength, out T[] array);
  • You can then proceed to use BufferWrapper{T}.Create(array) to get an IBufferWriter implementation over it.
