What’s New



Bug Fixes



Removed a buggy and unnecessary boundary check in Write methods. (927e173, benmwatson)



Performance



Removed LINQ iteration in some properties (ffe469c, ndrwrbgs)Overloads of Read, SafeRead, and Write that accept Span arguments (.NET Core and .NET Standard targets only) (86fc159, brantburnett)



Functionality



New buffer allocation strategy: exponential. Instead of linearly increasing large buffer sizes by a fixed multiple (say, 1MB), you can choose to have it increase exponentially in size, starting with smaller large buffers. This will allow you more efficient use of space, especially in smaller heap scenarios where you don’t have gobs of memory to keep in a pool. We use this in Bing in some data centers that are more resource constrained than others. (4755383, magicpanda0618)New targets for .NET Framework 4.6, .NET Standard 2.1 (4e97a7c, brantburnett,
927e173, benmwatson)Overload for TryGetBuffer, introduced in .NET Framework 4.6.
(927e173, benmwatson) Allow the Stream’s GUID to be set explicitly (c21b25b, mosdav)
