0.2.0

0.2.0 - LiteNetLib support 💪

• Add support for LiteNetLib 🎉
• Improve output
• Add option for MessageLoad
• Cleanup code and get the coding conventions in sync with .Net Conventions

Notes

• LiteNetLib does not run as performant and stable as the other libraries, maybe the implementation still has flaws.
• LiteNetLib runs better on windows than it does on linux. This is a bit strange, since both other libraries perform a lot better on linux compared to windows.

0.1.0

First build with some raw tests. There are probably still a lot of places performance can be optimized, take the results with two grains of salt!
