v0.14.0-rc1

Highlights

• Official C++ Support: Introduced the official Apache Fory C++ implementation, featuring a high-performance object graph serialization framework, xlang support, and comprehensive benchmarks.
• Row Format & Type System: Implemented a new row-oriented format type system across Java, Python, and C++, enabling row-columnar conversions and removing external Arrow dependencies for schema encoding.
• Performance Enhancements: Significant optimizations across all languages, including thread-local context management in Rust, fast flat-int maps for C++ type dispatch, and optimized buffer read/write operations.
• Ecosystem Updates: Added support for JDK 25 (Java), Go 1.23, and Bazel 8. Python support has been officially marked as stable with improved build parallelism.
• Advanced Java Features: Added GraalVM Native Image support via ForyFeature and new optimized serializers for blocking queues and final fields.
