- Refactored string serialization for performance: ASCII-optimistic encode, single pass, and minimal shifting; extracted string interning logic to TryWriteInternedString for both runtime and SGen paths.
- Updated AcBinarySerializer buffer writes to use BufferAt helper, removing redundant bounds checks.
- Enhanced CLI argument parsing to support multiple args and charset selection; unknown args now emit warnings.
- Switched all test data generation from Hungarian to English.
- Benchmark report now includes .NET runtime version.
- Cached MinStringInternLength in AcBinaryDeserializer for performance.
- Minor BinaryTypeCode flag refactor and doc improvements.
- Added BINARY_ISSUES.md entry for FastWire string interning/ref handling desync bug.
Refactored the benchmark and test data infrastructure to use generic, type-safe, and multi-variant models. Introduced generic base classes for the test data hierarchy and factories, with closing-generic aliases for _All_True and _All_False families. Benchmarks now select the correct test data variant per serializer options, and all serializers are generic over the order type. Output and result reporting now include the CLR type name for clarity. Centralized string property handling and improved documentation throughout.
Refactor tests to use _All_True model types throughout
Replaced all usages of legacy test model types (e.g., TestOrder, TestOrderItem, SharedTag, etc.) with new, feature-complete _All_True variants across SignalR test infrastructure, data sources, and service handlers. Updated all generic constraints, method signatures, and test data to use the new types. Added SharedTestBaseModels.cs and SharedTestOrderModels.cs to define abstract bases and concrete _All_True models with full serialization attributes. This enables more thorough and realistic serialization/deserialization testing and future extensibility.
SIMD UTF-8 upgrades, i18n test data, MVC disabled
- Switch all test/benchmark data to Hungarian UTF-8 strings for i18n coverage
- Add AVX-512BW, Vector256, and Vector128 SIMD paths for UTF-8/UTF-16 encode/decode (ASCII and multi-byte) in binary serializer/deserializer
- Update WireMode docs for encoding guidance per workload/host
- Block-comment and disable MVC formatters and Microsoft.AspNetCore.App reference due to .NET 10 Hybrid client conflict; update docs to reflect temporary state
- Update appsettings: replace WaitForFlush with FlushPolicy
- Revise BINARY_TODO.md for SIMD transcoder progress and next steps
- Test data now controls IId shared ref % for realistic deduplication benchmarks; display names include IId ref ratio.
- Added deep-level clearing of IId refs for realistic object graphs.
- Pallet, Measurement, and Point models now support shared IId refs.
- TestDataFactory passes shared refs to all hierarchy levels.
- Refactored TypeMetadataWrapper for type-specific Id getters, identity maps, and registration—removes hot path type checks/switches.
- AcBinary deserializer now uses new typed methods for reference tracking and registration.
- SerializationContextBase uses pre-cast Id getters for zero-overhead tracking.
- Reduced quick benchmark warmup iterations for faster startup.
- Improves performance, clarity, and maintainability of reference handling and benchmarks.
Major overhaul of JSON serialization/deserialization:
- Added AcJsonDeserializationException for clearer error reporting.
- Robust JSON validation, type checking, and double-serialization detection.
- Fast-path primitive (de)serialization for all common .NET types.
- Direct support for Dictionary<TKey, TValue> and improved collection handling.
- Enhanced $id/$ref reference resolution and in-place merging.
- Optimized property metadata caching and filtering.
- Comprehensive error handling with detailed messages.
- Extensive new tests for primitives, collections, references, and error cases.
- Benchmarks for serialization, deserialization, and merge scenarios.
SignalR infrastructure improvements:
- Refactored AcSignalRClientBase/AcWebSignalRHubBase for testability (virtual methods, test constructors).
- Added SignalRRequestModelPool for efficient request/response tracking.
- Improved parameter deserialization and IdMessage handling.
- New tags (PingTag, EchoTag) for SignalR messaging.
New test and benchmark infrastructure for SignalR:
- Shared test models and data factories for DTOs, primitives, and complex graphs.
- In-memory, dependency-free SignalR client/hub for round-trip testing.
- Exhaustive test suites for message processing, method invocation, and edge cases (including prior production bugs with Task<T>).
- Benchmarks for SignalR serialization, deserialization, and round-trip performance.
Other changes:
- Improved TaskHelper.WaitTo/WaitToAsync with more accurate polling and cancellation support.
- ExtensionMethods.InvokeMethod now properly unwraps Task/ValueTask results.
- General code cleanup, improved comments, and removal of obsolete code.
- Project references updated for shared test/benchmark infrastructure.
These changes deliver a robust, high-performance, and fully tested JSON/SignalR (de)serialization system, ready for production and advanced testing scenarios.
