- Refactor all serializer options to use properties returning new instances (no shared mutable state); update all usages accordingly
- Extract AcSerializerOptions, BinaryTypeCode, and BinaryPropertyFilterContext to dedicated files for clarity and reuse
- Add DEBUG-only string interning analysis/reporting tools to AcBinarySerializer
- Improve AcBinarySerializer string property serialization with direct typed getter and SIMD-optimized ASCII path
- Increase benchmark/test warmup iterations and add JIT warmup delays for more reliable performance measurements
- Remove redundant usings and update documentation/comments throughout
- No breaking API changes, but static readonly options fields are now properties
Major overhaul of binary serializer/deserializer tests: split and expand test coverage for primitives, objects, navigation, generics, circular refs, and edge cases. Fix critical bugs in property skipping, string interning, type mismatch diagnostics, nullable assignment, and VarInt decoding. Add WASM-optimized deserialization options with string caching. Switch SignalR compression from Brotli to Gzip and introduce GzipHelper. Add comprehensive StockTaking test models and real-world bug reproductions. Improve diagnostics, test discovery, and add benchmark/utility scripts.
Split SignalRDataSourceTests into multiple focused files and introduce an abstract base test class for comprehensive coverage. Add concrete test classes for all serializer and collection type combinations. Move data source implementations to separate files. Test coverage now includes edge cases, interface compliance, and advanced scenarios.
