Full Changelog: v2.5.0...v2.5.1

v2.5.0

What's Changed

• Comprehensive performance optimization pass across the entire mod, targeting per-frame heap allocations, LINQ overhead, redundant computations, and unnecessary object creation in hot render/tick paths.

Highlights

• Eliminated LINQ usage (.Where(), .Any(), .Select(), .Count(), .OrderBy(), .SequenceEqual()) from all render and tick paths, replacing with foreach loops and direct property checks
• Cached MeasureString results for NPC names, price text, bundle banner widths, and level-up text to avoid repeated per-frame font measurements
• Reused ClickableTextureComponent instances across frames instead of allocating new ones every frame for weather icons, Robin status, seasonal berry, Queen of Sauce, traveling merchant, and birthday icons
• Implemented dirty flag pattern for birthday icons to avoid recreating UI components every frame
• Cached formatted strings (ToString(), I18n calls, daily luck text) to avoid per-frame string allocations
• Replaced per-animal string allocations in render loops with direct comparisons
• Pre-computed static day sets for game state query evaluation
• Reused StringBuilder, List, and Dictionary collections across frames via Clear() instead of allocating new ones
• Cached TitleSafeArea viewport lookups in local variables
• Fixed MeasureString width calculation using .X instead of .Length() (vector magnitude)
