v3.9.0

[System-Glitch]

Description

• Fixed random inconsistencies in validation results when using rules comparing value to other fields.
• Added RuleDefinition.ComparesFields to specify a rule can compare the field under validation with another field. Custom rules that do so should update their definition to avoid previously mentioned inconsistencies.
• Fixed a bug causing the shutdown hook listening to SIGINT and SIGTERM to clear itself at server startup.
• Fixed a bug causing fields inside objects to not be converted by type rules and leaving junk into the input data.
• Handle dot-separated path for comparison validation rules.

Possible drawbacks

• Slightly slower boot time, because keys are sorted at startup.
• Very slightly slower validation
