Prevent size_output.txt from being tracked by Git by adding it to the .gitignore file. This helps keep the repository clean of generated or temporary files.
Introduce a unified Test_Benchmark_Results directory for all test, benchmark, and coverage artifacts, with MSBuild properties and MSTest runsettings for consistent output. Update .gitignore to exclude results. Refactor BenchmarkSuite1 to ensure all logs and artifacts are stored in versioned subfolders, and add logic for coverage file management.
Majorly optimize AcBinaryDeserializer: reuse existing nested objects and collections during deserialization, add PopulateListOptimized for in-place list updates, and use String.Create for efficient UTF8 decoding. Extend property metadata to track complex/collection types. Update MessagePack and BenchmarkDotNetDiagnosers package versions. Remove obsolete benchmark-report.html.
- Introduced AcJsonSerializer/Deserializer: fast, reflection-free, streaming JSON with optimized $id/$ref handling and Base62 IDs.
- Default serialization now uses new serializers; falls back to Newtonsoft for complex cases.
- Extensive type/property caching for performance and thread safety.
- Refactored MergeContractResolver and collection merge logic; all merge/populate operations use centralized caches.
- AcObservableCollection and AcSignalRDataSource are now fully thread-safe and support batch operations.
- SignalResponseMessage<T> supports lazy deserialization and direct JSON access.
- Added comprehensive unit tests and benchmarks for serialization, deserialization, and collection operations.
- Updated .gitignore and solution files; refactored core classes for clarity and performance.
