The `AllocationHandle` struct has been updated to replace
`public static readonly` fields with `public static` properties
using lambda expressions. The `Temp`, `FreeList`, and `Persistent`
fields are now properties, dynamically retrieving values from
their respective allocators. This change improves flexibility
and ensures the properties reflect the current state of the
underlying allocators.
Updated `JobScheduler` to enhance dependency tracking by counting valid dependencies upfront and dynamically adjusting counts using `Interlocked` operations. Improved job enqueueing logic to ensure jobs are only enqueued when all dependencies are met.
Replaced `Interlocked.Increment` with `Interlocked.Add` for batch updates to `_totalJobCount`, improving performance. Adjusted `VirtualStack` cleanup to use the correct size variable for memory deallocation.
Simplified `JobDispatchingJob` API by removing `ctx.ThreadIndex` parameter. Updated `TestJobSystem` to pass job handles as dependencies for proper execution order.
Incremented assembly version to 1.5.9 to reflect these changes.
Replaced the deprecated Allocator API with the new AllocationHandle API across the codebase. Updated constructors, methods, and tests to use AllocationHandle for memory management. Marked Allocator-based methods as [Obsolete] and provided alternatives.

Refactored internal memory management in AllocationManager and updated benchmarks, utilities, and documentation to reflect the changes.
BREAKING CHANGE: Deprecated Allocator API in favor of AllocationHandle. Updated constructors and methods to use AllocationHandle. Users must migrate to the new API.
Refactored memory management by removing safety checks and introducing `MemoryHandle` for centralized tracking. Simplified allocation logic across allocators and enhanced `Dispose` methods for better resource cleanup.
Added `UnsafeChunkedQueue<T>`, a lock-free, dynamically resizing queue with chunk-based memory management, supporting parallel producers and consumers.
Updated unit tests to validate new queue functionality and ensure compatibility with refactored memory logic. Incremented assembly version to 1.6.12.
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed `#if MHP_ENABLE_SAFETY_CHECKS` blocks, altering memory validation behavior.

Add comprehensive unit tests for all allocators and pointer assertion utilities. Update project to enable safety checks in Debug builds. Remove obsolete interfaces and ensure consistent deallocation with MemoryUtility.Free.
BREAKING CHANGE: Custom allocator structs are removed and replaced with MemoryPool-based abstraction. UnTypedArray is replaced by MemoryBlock. Allocator enum order and semantics are changed. Public API changes may require code updates.
Introduce a unified Reallocate method to all memory allocator types (Arena, Stack, FreeList, VirtualArena, VirtualStack, DynamicArena) and require it in the IMemoryAllocator interface. This enables efficient resizing of memory blocks, with fast-path optimizations for stack-like allocators.
Update AllocationManager and MemoryPool to use the new Reallocate method, simplifying and optimizing memory resizing logic. Add public properties for buffer pointers, sizes, and offsets to allocator structs for easier diagnostics.
Set FreeList's default concurrency level to 1 and make its allocation method return null on dispose instead of throwing. Clean up vector types for formatting, fix UnsafeList's RemoveRangeSwapBack logic, and simplify RemoveAtSwapBack.
Simplify Program.cs to only run SPMDBenchmark. Add new unit tests for FixedString, UnsafeList, UnsafeHashMap, and UnsafeHashSet. Apply minor test code cleanups for consistency in TestUnsafeQueue.
BREAKING CHANGE: IMemoryAllocator now requires a Reallocate method, and allocator APIs have changed accordingly.
Stack and VirtualStack Free methods now check pointer bounds and update offsets only when appropriate, improving safety. Program.cs refactored to use MemoryPool with VirtualStack and new test methods. Assembly version bumped to 1.6.7.
Add AllocationManager.GetTotalAllocatedMemory() to track total allocations when safety checks are enabled. Improve diagnostics by calling Debug.Fail in Dispose methods of HashMapHelper, UnTypedArray, and UnsafeArray when disposing uninitialized or already disposed arrays.

Improve memory leak detection and reporting, update memory allocation API, and guard all safety/debug features with new defines. Update csproj files, README, and code samples to match new API and toggles. Fix and improve collection types for correct behavior with and without safety checks. The codebase is now more modular and easier to configure for different build environments.
BREAKING CHANGE: Old defines (ENABLE_SAFETY_CHECKS, ENABLE_DEBUG_LAYER, ENABLE_MIMALLOC) are replaced with MHP_* equivalents. FreeList allocator and related debug features are removed. Some APIs and behaviors have changed for safety/debug configuration.
CopyTo, CopyFrom, ToArray, and ToList are now implemented as instance methods on UnsafeArray<T> and UnsafeList<T>, replacing the previous extension methods. This change enables more direct and efficient copying between unsafe collections and managed spans, arrays, and lists, with overloads for ranges and resizing as needed. Extension methods for these operations have been removed. Minor cleanup and usage updates are included.
BREAKING CHANGE: Extension methods for copying and converting between unsafe collections and spans/arrays/lists have been removed. Use the new instance methods instead.
Adds a debug layer for memory allocation tracking, enabled in DEBUG builds via ENABLE_DEBUG_LAYER. When active, allocations and reallocations in FreeListAllocator store stack traces and maintain linked lists of allocation headers for enhanced debugging. Memory is optionally cleared on allocation, and debug metadata is properly cleaned up on free. Updates allocation logic to support debug and non-debug modes. Also updates AssemblyVersion to 1.5.4 and revises Program.cs to use the new allocation manager initialization and FreeList allocator.
