0.9.0

Breaking:

• Targeting net6.0

Semi breaking:

• Type lookup: Now negative lookup results are also cached.
  • This may also lead to undeseriable results when adding classes and structs at runtime.
  • May increase the memory footprint over time faster than before.
  • On the upside: It is significantly faster when dealing with objects where automapping doesn't work without having to disable the feature entirely.
• Different exception (System.ArgumentException) on empty input for PhpSerialization.Deserialize<T>()

Regular changes:

• Rewrote the parsing and validation logic, which results in different exception messages in many cases.
• Parsing: A very slight performance gain for some deserialization workloads.
• Object / struct creation: Improved performance.
• General: Reduced amount of memory allocated while deserializing.
• Fixed exception message for non-integer keys in lists.
• Fixed exception message for failed field / property assignments / binding.
