Introduced a new "SGenOnly" build configuration across the solution, updating Directory.Build.props, AyCode.Core.targets, and the .sln file for full support. Centralized TargetFramework and build properties in AyCode.Core.targets, removing redundancy from project files. Updated code to recognize SGEN_ONLY at compile time. Added new Bash commands for file conversion and cleanup. No functional code changes outside build and configuration logic.
Major refactor: all benchmark engine implementations, enums, and helpers moved from Console project to AyCode.Core.Benchmarks.Workloads.Scenarios for unified cross-runner use. BenchmarkResult and reporting logic moved to AyCode.Core.Benchmarks.Reporting. Attribute-flag aggregation centralized in BenchmarkOptions. Updated all usages, project references, and SGen codegen for ref-handling. Prepares codebase for shared reporting and future extensibility.
Support FixStr for short non-ASCII strings (UTF-8)
Refactored WriteFixStrDirect to encode short non-ASCII strings as FixStr if their UTF-8 byte count is ≤31, not just ASCII. This improves efficiency for short international strings. Also ensured correct buffer sizing and direct UTF-8 encoding. No functional change to project file; property repositioned for clarity.
NativeAOT: full DAMs propagation, trimmer-safe serializers
- Propagate [DynamicallyAccessedMembers] from all public Serialize<T>/Deserialize<T> APIs through all type/property metadata and factories, centralizing requirements in TypeMetadataBase.RequiredMembers.
- Add [UnconditionalSuppressMessage] for known trimmer blind spots (polymorphism, inheritance, nested types) with detailed justifications.
- Update all internal delegate/factory signatures to preserve DAMs context.
- Annotate public APIs for AOT safety; document consumer requirements for SGen or rooted model assemblies.
- Update BINARY_FEATURES.md with NativeAOT/trimmer compatibility, guidance, and limitations.
- Adjust benchmark project for AOT/JIT parity and add i18n test data.
- No breaking API changes; SGen and Runtime paths remain, now fully AOT-compatible.
NativeAOT: fallback for delegates, exclude MessagePack
Added AYCODE_NATIVEAOT symbol for AOT builds and excluded MessagePack benchmarks from NativeAOT due to lack of AOT support. Updated AcSerializerCommon to use reflection-based delegates when dynamic code is unavailable, ensuring compatibility with both JIT and AOT. Added explanatory comments throughout.
Remove SegmentBufferReader; unify on AsyncPipeReaderInput
Migrates all SignalR chunked streaming receive logic to AsyncPipeReaderInput, fully removing SegmentBufferReader and SegmentBufferReaderInput from the codebase. Updates all references, deserialization paths, and documentation to reflect the new unified primitive. Marks ADR-0003 as accepted (partially executed), closes related TODOs, and clarifies protocol docs. Sets DoubleBuffered as the default FlushPolicy. No wire format or behavioral changes; all tests pass.
- Integrated MemoryPack as a serializer in the benchmark suite
- Added [MemoryPackable] and [MemoryPackIgnore] to test models
- Enabled AcBinary source generation by default
- Updated benchmark app to include MemoryPack and focus on key serializers
- Added MemoryPack NuGet references to projects
- Refactored AcBinarySerializer.WriteString flag handling
- Replace UseReferenceHandling bool with ReferenceHandlingMode enum across all serializers and options
- Move AcBinary string interning to footer (no header shifting); remove bloom filter
- Overhaul benchmark console: multi-serializer, grouped/colorized results, CSV/log output, more test data
- Set UseMetadata = false by default (header property names unused)
- Update all context Reset/Pool logic for new options signature
- Update AcJson/Toon serializers for new reference handling
- Update tests and usages for new enum-based options
- Add Newtonsoft.Json to benchmark dependencies
- Misc: code cleanups, improved comments, clarify logic
- Introduced PropertyMetadataBase to unify property metadata and dynamic getter logic, now shared by PropertyAccessorBase and PropertySetterBase.
- Moved PropertyAccessorType enum to PropertyMetadataBase.
- Replaced all GetDynamicValue usages with GetValue for consistent property access in serializers/deserializers.
- Refactored PropertyAccessorBase and PropertySetterBase inheritance and responsibilities.
- Added MaxStringInternLength option to AcBinarySerializerOptions for configurable string interning.
- Improved collection deserialization: clear destination if source is empty.
- Added AyCode.Core.Serializers.Console project for performance profiling (with MessagePack comparison).
- Updated solution file to include new project and build configs.
- Minor code cleanups and documentation improvements.
