Fixed an issue causing gap.update crashes the game(engine issue)
Fixed an potential issue that on MacOS we cannot get core count and cause MaxDegreeOfParallelism will be set to 0. Now if we cant get that number we simply use a fixed 16 instead
Replaced static entity lists (e.g., HullList, GapList, MapEntityList, etc.) with thread-safe copy-on-write wrappers to improve concurrency and prevent race conditions. Updated usages and related methods to support the new thread-safe collections, ensuring atomic operations and lock-free reads throughout the codebase.
Eliminated redundant locks and related comments in EntitySpawner and Entity classes, simplifying the spawn and remove queue handling. Also removed outdated comments in GameScreen regarding thread safety. These changes assume entity spawning and removal are no longer performed from multiple threads, improving code clarity and maintainability.
Refactored multiple components to defer Farseer physics transform operations using PhysicsBodyQueue, preventing unsafe calls from parallel contexts. This change addresses thread safety issues with Farseer's DynamicTree and ensures transforms are executed in a safe context. Also increased the spawn amount limit in DebugConsole from 100 to 100000.
Refactored SoundChannel and SoundManager to use explicit locking for OpenAL operations and channel assignment, preventing race conditions during parallel sound playback. Added thread-local stacks in DynamicTree to ensure thread safety during parallel physics queries and raycasts. These changes address concurrency issues when sounds or physics queries are triggered from multiple threads.
Introduces a thread-safe queue for deferring physics operations (such as body creation and transforms) to the main thread, ensuring Farseer Physics is not accessed from parallel contexts. Updates Holdable, Item, MapEntity, and GameScreen to use the new PhysicsBodyQueue for safe physics operations during parallel updates, and refactors PhysicsBodyQueue to support general deferred physics actions.
Introduces PhysicsBodyQueue to safely defer physics body creation to the main thread, addressing thread-safety issues with Farseer Physics during parallel updates. Updates LevelResource, TriggerComponent, BallastFloraBehavior, and MapEntity to use the queue for all physics body creation and refresh operations, ensuring they are processed outside of parallel loops. Also adds cleanup of the queue at round end.
Refactored various static and instance collections to use [ThreadStatic], ThreadLocal, or local variables to prevent concurrent modification issues during parallel updates. This affects status effect targets, affliction lists, damage modifiers, and cached data in Character, CharacterHealth, Limb, Explosion, Hull, Submarine, and ToolBox classes. Also replaced Dictionary caches with ConcurrentDictionary where appropriate for thread safety.
Replaces direct increments of LastClientListUpdateID with a thread-safe IncrementLastClientListUpdateID method and uses Interlocked for atomic operations. Refactors EntitySpawner to lock access to the spawn/remove queue for thread safety. Updates INetSerializableStruct to use concurrent collections for cached variables and type behaviors, improving thread safety in networking code.
Refactored various collections (lists, dictionaries, queues, and caches) in AI, character, animation, and item component systems to use thread-safe patterns and concurrent data structures. This includes introducing copy-on-write wrappers, ConcurrentDictionary, ConcurrentQueue, and ThreadLocal where appropriate to ensure safe concurrent access and mutation, improving stability in multi-threaded scenarios.
Replaced static lists and dictionaries with thread-safe ConcurrentDictionary or ThreadLocal collections for various item components and systems. Updated all relevant code to use snapshots (ToArray, ToList) for safe iteration, and added helper methods for marking and clearing changed connections. These changes improve thread safety and prevent potential concurrency issues in multi-threaded scenarios.
Replaces static Item.ItemList and related collections with thread-safe data structures using ConcurrentDictionary and ImmutableHashSet. Adds thread-safe helpers for marking items for deconstruction and managing item lists. Updates all usages of Item.ItemList and DeconstructItems to use new APIs, improving performance and safety in multi-threaded contexts. Also refactors MeleeWeapon and Projectile impact queues to use ConcurrentQueue, and updates related logic throughout the codebase.

Refactored update logic in MapEntity and GameScreen to use more granular and conditional parallelization, reducing unnecessary allocations and improving performance. Updates to hulls, structures, items, and physics bodies are now executed in parallel where safe, and item updates are only performed when necessary. Also parallelized submarine and physics body transform updates.
Added prominent warnings in both English and Chinese indicating that this release is intended for server-side use only and should not be run on the client. Users are advised to thoroughly test compatibility before deployment.
Introduces async event processing with cancellation support using SemaphoreSlim and CancellationTokenSource. Improves client event handling logic, separates in-game and mid-round sync clients, and adds proper disposal of resources. Enhances robustness and maintainability of event management.
Updated comments in GameScreen.cs to indicate that StatusEffect.UpdateAll and Character.UpdateAnimAll are not thread-safe and must be executed on the main thread. Also removed a non-English comment from MapEntity.cs for consistency.
