What's new?
- The new Connector example merges the previous Connector and Advanced Connector examples, showing how to perform the connection and login process including optional HTTP tunneling and/or protocol encryption activation.

- The Tic-Tac-Toe example (previously called Tris) implements a fully-featured lobby, game spectators and invitations.
