Review new persistence framework

[epitzer]

The new persistence framework has been merged into the trunk as HL plugin and is ready to be criticized.

[epitzer]

Numerous small changes, coding conventions, renames, mini refactoring (r1542)

[epitzer]

Replace final fixes for broken parent references with separation of instance creation with meta information. (r1553)

[epitzer]

XML formatters for all primitive numeric types. (r1554)

[epitzer]

More renaming and refactoring. (r1555)

[epitzer]

Namespace refactoring. (r1556)

[epitzer]

• Stricter requirements for IDs in serialization tokens. (r1562)
• Mark decomposers as empty storable class. (r1563)

[epitzer]

• Stronger typing for formatters with the help of generics.
• Separate format and serial data type.

(r1564)

[epitzer]

Adapt Persistence.GUI to new formatter structure. (r1565)

[epitzer]

Format white space. (Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D) (r1566)

[abeham]

Added StorableClass attribute to some more classes in r2995

[abeham]

prevent excessive caching of reflection information by re-instantiating serializers for every run (r3030)

[epitzer]

collect all storable caches into storable serializer to reduce prolonged memory usage (r3031)

[epitzer]

make most serializers internal and complete API documentation (r3036)

[epitzer]

prevent exceptions during configuration (instead of catching them) (r3037)

[swagner]

Added missing StorableClass attributes in r3201.

[epitzer]

correctly allow interleaving of storable and empty classes (r3205)

[epitzer]

Replace XML reader to ensure proper parsing of line endings especially inside CDATA blocks (r3293)

[epitzer]

replace repeated calls through reflection with generated code for a twofold speedup (r3553)

[epitzer]

circumvent code generation for hooks on 64bit systems, this is a bug in the CLR (r3554)

correct and speed-up serialization for number enumerables (r3811)

[gkronber]

Turned of 'Treat warnings as errors' option in the release configuration of the persistence plugin to allow release builds without compiler errors with r3987.

[gkronber]

Added caching of tree size and height values and changed postfix and prefix iteration methods in SymbolicExpressionTreeNodes with r3988.

[abeham]

This ticket should be closed (at version 3.3), and new ones opened that document changes to the persistence framework since the release (r3917 and later).

The reason is that we're adding a ChangeLog based on tickets and version information. It would be good to see new features / enhancements and bug fixes when the persistence is upgraded to 3.3.1 in the changelog.

Please create e.g. a ticket "Improve saving and loading speed" marked as enhancement with version set to 3.3 where the respective changes are listed. The milestone currently does not matter. Please do so for the other changes as well.
