In this version, we can customize NetworkEvents object. E.g. we can set our own ping url and ping timeout:

networkEvents = new NetworkEvents(this, bus)
        .withPingUrl("http://www.android.com")
        .withPingTimeout(50 * 1000);

We can also disable ping or Wifi Access Points Scan:

networkEvents = new NetworkEvents(this, bus)
        .withoutPing()
        .withoutWifiAccessPointsScan();

In the main repository, we can find new examples of applications showing how to use these methods. In addition, internal elements of code (especially NetworkEvents class) were updated and new unit tests were created.
