v1.0.20-alpha

Update target to .NET 5 (from .NET Core 3.1)

Enabled Nullable Reference Types (still a work in progress though)

New Features:

• IsOrdered
• FilterOrdered
• SortCycle
• SortPancake (Span overload only)
• SortStooge (Span overload only)
• TryParseRomanNumeral
• Maximum (Span overload)
• Minimum (Span overload)
• Range (Span overload)

v1.0.19-alpha

New Features:

• IsPalindrome
• IsInterleaved (Recursive + Iterative) [ReadOnlySpanSpan]

Fixes:

• TagAttribute supports null now

Changes:

• TryParse signatures have been changed from [bool TryParse<T>(string @string, out T value)] to [(bool Success, T Value) TryParse<T>(string @string)] to help promote structural vs nominal typing. The out parameters require custom delegates while returning a (bool, success) fits into the standard Func<string, (bool, T)> pattern.
• ValueAttribute renamed to TagAttribute

v1.0.18-alpha

New Features:

• Hamming Distance
• Liechtenstein Distance
• Binary Search (added ReadOnlySpan<T> overload)
• Permute (added Span<T> overload)
• Sorting Algorithms (added Span<T> overloads)
• ValueAttribute (a value-based attribute)

There were some major design changes to push for structural typing rather than nominal typing.

• Remove unnecessary interfaces types that forced nominal typing rather than structural typing. Rather than using these types, it is better to always use the relative IAction<...> or IFunc<...> types.
  • IGetIndex<T> -> IFunc<int, T>
  • ISetIndex<T> -> IAction<int, T>
  • ICompare<T> -> IFunc<T, T, CompareResult>
  • IEquate<T> -> IFunc<T, T, bool>
  • ISift<T> -> IFunc<T, CompareResult>
  • IHash<T> -> IFunc<T, int>
  • IStep<T> -> IAction<T>
  • IStepBreak<T> -> IFunc<T, StepStatus>
• Removed unnecessary delegate types that forced nominal typing rather than structural typing. Rather than using these types, it is better to always use the relative Action<...> or Func<...> types.
  • Equate<T> -> Func<T, T, bool>
  • Equate<A, B> -> Func<A, B, bool>
  • Compare<T> -> Func<T, T, CompareResult>
  • Compare<A, B> -> Func<A, B, CompareResult>
  • Sift<T> -> Func<T, CompareResult>
  • GetIndex<T> -> Func<int, T>
  • SetIndex<T> -> Action<int, T>
  • TryParse<T> -> FuncO1<string, T, bool>
• Removed unnecessary struct types that forced nominal typing rather than structural typing. Rather than using these types, it is better to always use the relative ActionRuntime<...> or FuncRuntime<...> types.
  • SiftRuntime<T> -> FuncRuntime<T, CompareResult>
  • CompareRuntime<T> -> FuncRuntime<T, T, CompareResult>
  • PredicateRuntime<T> -> FuncRuntime<T, bool>
  • GetIndexRuntime<T> -> FuncRuntime<int, T>
  • SetIndexRuntime<T> -> ActionRuntime<int, T>
  • HashRuntime<T> -> FuncRuntime<T, int>
• Multiple methods and static classes were also removed or renamed.

There were also some changes to method overloads to promote using Span<T> and ReadOnlySpan<T>.
