Release notes

A listing of what each Nuget package version represents.

v2

• 2.0.0 - (2022-05-30) Add CollectionHelpers and DictionaryHelpers to add commutative hashing and equality. CollectionHelpers has order-dependent equality imlemented as well, if that's something you need.
  • Upgrade to net6.0 since it's an LTS version.

v1

• 1.1.1 - (2020-06-06) Add extensions to System.IO.Compression to make it easier to compress and decompress byte arrays. Supports DEFLATE and gzip, and async variants as well.
  • CompressGzip, DecompressGzip, CompressGzipAsync, and DecompressGzipAsync
  • CompressDeflate, DecompressDeflate, CompressDeflateAsync, and DecompressDeflateAsync
• 1.0.4 - (2020-05-02) Add EnumerableExtensions with an IsNullOrEmpty() method on System.Collections.IEnumerable which is the base type for IEnumerable<T>.
• 1.0.3 - (2019-04-03) Add ToSecureString() extension method on System.String.
• 1.0.2 - (2019-03-20)
  • Move existing types to namespaces that more closely mirror the BCL
  • Add a few extensions to Random.NextDouble() to allow for floor and ceiling values
  • Add thread-safe wrappers for Random behind mockable interfaces for greater safety and testability:
    • AsyncSafeRandom / IAsyncSafeRandom for use in most places. Async-suffixed methods do non-blocking waits, the other methods block threads. You can use the blocking versions -- they cut down about 40 nanonseconds of overhead -- but the moment you add an async code path, you should convert all consumers of the active instance to the async counterparts. (Maybe this is a footgun for inexperienced developers, and I should get rid of the blocking variants, but at least it's an easy path forward within an application.).
    • SafeRandom / ISafeRandom for use in NON-async code paths, using lock under the hood
