9.4.0-beta.3

Binary Serialization Fixes

• MessageBody nows store the character encoding type (defaults to UTF8) to allow correct conversion back to a string when using Value property
• Use a CharacterEncoding.Raw for binary content (will be a Base64 string for Value)
• Kafka transport payload is now byte[] and not string. This prevents corruption of Kafka 'header' of 5 bytes to store schema registry when used with schema registry support
• DynamoDb now uses a byte[] and not a string for the message body to prevent lossy conversions
• ContentType on Header is set from Body, if not set on the Header
