Version bump 0.8.2 → 0.8.3, releasing the per-binding throughput benchmark work
(merged in #246).
Bumped via `ScriptHelpers/bump_version.py` across all manual touchpoints —
`Cargo.toml`, `pyproject.toml`, the Node `package.json` + 6 platform packages +
both lockfiles, the Java `pom.xml`s + README, the C# `.csproj`, the R
`DESCRIPTION` — plus `Cargo.lock` (via `cargo build`) and the `CHANGELOG.md`
`[0.8.3]` section and compare URLs.
CHANGELOG `[0.8.3]`:
- Per-binding throughput benchmarks for all 9 targets (BENCHMARKS.md §3).
- C ABI archetype test (`examples/c/archetypes.c`).
`cargo fmt`, `cargo test --workspace --all-features` (all green) and
`cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -D warnings` pass. The
docs/webpage version strings are bumped by `sync-about.yml` on the `v*` tag —
not touched here.
Patch release shipping the R WebAssembly build fix (#244): `bindings/r/configure` builds the C ABI from source for `wasm32-unknown-emscripten`, so r-universe's webR build stops failing. Also carries the shared Go badge in `bindings/go/README.md`. Version bumped across all manual touchpoints via `bump_version.py` (incl. DESCRIPTION + csproj, which had drifted before).
The static `<Version>` in `bindings/csharp/Wickra/Wickra.csproj` had drifted to 0.7.9 — it was missed in the 0.8.0/0.8.1 bumps (wrongly assumed to be purely tag-injected). The published NuGet package was correct (the release packs with `-p:Version=`), but the static field lagged. Resync to 0.8.1; bump_version.py now covers it.
The first language stecker on the C ABI hub: a .NET binding exposing all 514
indicators as idiomatic `IDisposable` classes, generated from `wickra.h`.
## What's here
- **`bindings/csharp/`** — the `Wickra` .NET 8 package. `[LibraryImport]`
source-generated P/Invoke (`NativeMethods.g.cs`) plus idiomatic wrappers
(`Indicators.g.cs`), both generated from the committed `bindings/c/include/wickra.h`.
The binding owns no indicator maths — it only marshals types across the C ABI.
- **Marshalling, verified end-to-end against the native library.** Opaque handles
cross as `nint` kept alive per call via a `SafeHandle`; `bool` as
`[MarshalAs(U1)]` (Rust `bool` is one byte); a self-correcting
`DllImportResolver` validates the loaded library actually exports the Wickra
ABI. Tests cover one representative per FFI archetype (scalar, candle, pairwise,
multi-output, bars, profile, values-profile, order-book / array-input) plus
exact Sma reference values.
- **NuGet packaging** — `dotnet pack` produces `Wickra.<version>.nupkg`; the
release pipeline stages prebuilt native libraries under `runtimes/<rid>/native/`
for six target triples (win/linux/osx × x64/arm64).
- **`examples/csharp/`** — nine examples mirroring `examples/c/`: streaming,
backtest, multi_timeframe, parallel_assets, three strategies, and
fetch_btcusdt + live_binance.
- **CI** — a `csharp` job on the three OSes builds the C ABI, tests the binding,
and runs the offline examples. **Release** — a gated `csharp-publish` job packs
and pushes to NuGet (gated on `NUGET_API_KEY`, independent of the GitHub-release
job so a C# hiccup never blocks the C/C++ asset release).
- **Docs consistency wave** — README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, examples/README,
the issue / PR templates, `sync-about.yml`, and `.gitattributes`.
The native Python / Node / WASM bindings and the C ABI are untouched; this is
additive. Publishing to NuGet stays gated behind the release tag and the secret.
