2005-05-26  Ben Maurer  <[email protected]>

	* CodeGenerator.cs: Move module creation to cctor to kill double
	checked locking and typeof locking.

2005-05-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* CodeGenerator.cs: Don't generate debug info here.

2005-05-09  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* ObjectWriter.cs:
	* CodeGenerator.cs: No need to add the class for inherited fields,
	since FieldInfo objects returned by the GetSerializableMembers
	method will already include the class name if needed.

2005-03-23  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* BinaryCommon.cs: Added helper method for swapping bytes.
	* ObjectReader.cs:
	* ObjectWriter.cs: Implemented serialization of arrays of primitive
	types using Buffer.BlockCopy to create byffers of data that is written/
	read in a single call. It's much faster now.

2005-03-01  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* BinaryCommon.cs: Found the meaning of two unknown binary elements.
	* CodeGenerator.cs: Derive generated classes from ClrTypeMetadata
	instead of TypeMetadata. Added writeTypes parameter to WriteTypeData().
	* ObjectWriter.cs: Use type and assembly names as keys for the type and
	assembly caches. This is needed since ISerializable types can provide
	fake type names (which are mapped to real types by a binder on
	deserialization).
	Implemented support for BinaryFormatter.TypeFormat.
	* BinaryFormatter.cs, MessageFormatter.cs: Implemented support for
	TypeFormat property.
	* ObjectReader.cs: Added support for objects serialized without
	member type information. This fixes bug #73114.
	If a binder return null, use the default way of loading the type.

2005-02-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* ObjectReader.cs: In ReadArrayOfPrimitiveType, added a specific
	read loop for each type. It's much faster and avoids value boxings.

2005-01-10  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* BinaryCommon.cs: IntPtr is not a primitive type in the serialization
	world. This fixes bug #70757.

2004-12-15  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* ObjectReader.cs: Use GetField instead of GetMembers. Properties can't
	be serialized, so it makes no sense to use GetMembers.

2004-12-08  Zoltan Varga  <[email protected]>

	* CodeGenerator.cs: Call new DefineInternalDynamicAssembly method to prevent a race
	condition in the setting of the CorlibInternal flag.

2004-12-06  Zoltan Varga  <[email protected]>

	* CodeGenerator.cs: Mark the created assembly builder as internal.

2004-11-29  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* CodeGenerator.cs: Addded EnumToUnderlying method to get the underlying
	type of an enum. This fixes bug #69753.

2004-07-02  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* BinaryCommon.cs: Added CheckSerializable method.
	* ObjectWriter.cs: Check for type serializability even for members with
	  null values.
	
2004-05-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* ObjectWriter.cs: reduce contention in GetObjectData.

2004-05-14  Vladimir Vukicevic  <[email protected]>

	* binary_serialization_format.htm: renamed filename from having
	  spaces to _'s (checked with lluis)

2004-05-13  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* ObjectWriter.cs: Fixed and Simplified WriteGenericArray and 
	  WriteSingleDimensionArrayElements. This also fixes bug #58345.

2004-05-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* MessageFormatter.cs: In the all-are-primitive case, serialize Args, 
	  not OutArgs.

2004-04-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* MessageFormatter.cs: Serialize Args, not OutArgs, like in MS.NET.

2004-04-26  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* ObjectReader.cs, ObjectWriter.cs: FIXME cleaning.

2004-04-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* CodeGenerator.cs, ObjectReader.cs, ObjectWriter.cs: Serialize decimals
	  as strings, like in MS.NET. This fixes bug #57186.

2004-02-23  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* BinaryCommon.cs: Added UseReflectionSerialization property.
	* CodeGenerator.cs, ObjectWriter.cs: When serializing the name of an 
	  inherited field, prefix the name with the class name. This fixes #54439.
	  Moved check for reflection serialization variable to BinaryCommon.
	
2004-02-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* ObjectWriter.cs: Factorized some serialization code in new classes, so it
	  is now possible to use fast IL generated classes that use direct access
	  to class fields instead of using reflection.
	* CodeGenerator.cs: New file. Has several methods used by ObjectWriter to 
	  generate serialization code.

2004-02-05  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* ObjectWriter.cs: Get the assembly of a member from the member's type, not
	  from the type of the value, because that is the type written in the
	  metadata section of the object.

2003-12-23  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* ObjectReader.cs: Field names can include the type name if the field
	  belongs to a base type. Take this into account.

2003-11-26  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* BinaryFormatter.cs: Added missing methods.

2003-11-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* BinaryFormatter.cs, MessageFormatter.cs, ObjectReader.cs: Added support
	  for TypeFilter property.

2003-11-16  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* BinaryFormatter.cs, MessageFormatter.cs, ObjectWriter.cs: 
	  Implemented support for AssemblyFormat property.

2003-11-12  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* ObjectReader.cs, ObjectWriter.cs: Changed some GetType calls to "is" checks.

2003-07-28  Duncan Mak  <[email protected]>

	* BinaryFormatter.cs (WriteBinaryHeader): changed from public to
	private.

2003-07-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * MessageFormatter.cs: WriteMethodCall(): It must write all parameters,
      including ref and out.

2003-07-24  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * ObjectReader.cs, ObjectWriter.cs, BinaryCommon.cs: Fixed bug #45970.

2003-07-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * ObjectReader.cs: Keep MemberInfo members in type's metadata object, so it is
      not necessary to query them for every object.
    * ObjectWriter.cs: If the value being serialized is a value type (not boxed)
      then there is no need to register it in the ObjectIDGenerator, because it is
      not possible to have two references to the same value type object.

2003-05-13  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * ObjectReader.cs: Changed signature of ReadObjectGraph, so now it returns the
      deserialized object and the headers.
    * MessageFormatter.cs: The result of the call to the HeaderHandler delegate is
      now interpreted as the uri of the target object. This seems to be MS.NET
      behavior.
	* BinaryFormatter.cs: Deserialize now calls the HeaderHandler delegate,
	  if provided.

2003-02-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

	* BinaryFormatter.cs: Implemented support for binders.
    * MessageFormatter.cs: Implemented support for binders.
    * ObjectReader.cs: Implemented support for binders.

2003-02-04  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * MessageFormatter.cs: Fixed bug in serialization of arguments.
    * ObjectReader.cs: Fixed bug causing array of structs to fail.

2003-02-11  Patrik Torstensson

    * ObjectReader.cs: Fixed root object bug causing object reader to return root object 
	  before fixup. Closes bug #37842.

2003-02-04  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * MessageFormatter.cs: Corrected some bugs that affected serialization of exceptions

2003-02-04  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * MessageFormatter.cs: Implemented serialization of message properties.

2003-01-24  Martin Baulig  <[email protected]>

	* ObjectReader.cs (ReadNextObject): Call
	RaiseDeserializationEvent() on the ObjectManager when we're done
	reading the whole graph.

2003-01-24  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * ObjectWriter.cs, ObjectReader.cs: Added suport for headers. 
      Corrected encoding of primitive types. Corrected a bug about zero-length arrays. 
    * MessageFormatter.cs: Added. Implements serialization of messages.
    * BinaryFormatter.cs: Added serialization of messages.
    * BinaryCommon.cs: Added enum of codes of primitive types.

2003-01-17  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* ObjectWriter.cs: make the exception message more useful.

2003-01-16  Lluis Sanchez Gual <[email protected]>

    * BinaryFormatter.cs: implemented Serialize and Deserialize methods.
    * ObjectReader.cs: added.
    * ObjectWriter.cs: added.
    * BinaryCommon.cs. added.

2002-08-22  Nick Drochak  <[email protected]>

	* BinaryArrayTypeEnum.cs: Removed Non-existent enum (must have been
	from beta days)

2002-08-18  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* BinaryFormatter.cs: Stubbed out
