Note: 3rd party KotH maps will need to be modified to work correctly
with this change. Previously, StrategicVictoryConditions was a
supplement to ConquestVictoryConditions. After this change, each works
by itself. So KotH maps will need to remove the ConquestVictoryConditions
trait from the player definitions, or both victory conditions will have
to be satisfied to win the game.
- Implement IDisposable interface correctly, with sealed classes where possible for simplicity.
- Add using statement around undisposed local variables.
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
