- New method `createEvent :data :completion` - Create event method with a callback/ completion mechanism to do follow up actions at the time BlueConic retrieved new data from the servers.
- New method `updateProfile` - Update the profile instantly push/ sync all profile property data with the profile on the BlueConic tenant.
- New method `updateProfile :completion` - Update the profile method with callback/ completion mechanism to do follow up actions at the time BlueConic retrieve new profile data from the servers.
- New method `getInstance` - Retrieve an instance without sending a ViewController along, improvement on the method calls `getInstance(nil)'.
- New methods for `InteractionContext` to call within your `BlueConicPlugin`:
- `getInteractionTypeId` The ID of the interaction type.
- `getPluginType` The type of the plugin.

Fixed
- The issue for `addRefusedObjective` not pushing refused objectives.

- Clear the events on `BlueConicClient` level when a `PAGEVIEW` event is called.
- Execute all published `Events` after the `onLoad` of all plugins is called, so none of the published `Event`s are missing for these calls.
- Moved `BlueConicEventFactory` and `BlueConicEventManager` from `Plugin`-directory to `BlueConicClient`. This is now part of the `main`.
Added
- New privacy legislation methods `getPrivacyLegislation` and `setPrivacyLegislation`.

- Crashes around registering plugin classes. Issue `objc_getClassList` when the parameter is not a `MutablePointer`.
Removed
- All `cleanup`-event calls in `Listeners` this is no longer required this is no managed by `BlueConicClient` instead by the `BlueConicPlugin`s individually.
