Migration from older versions

The new SDK version uses different method for setting key values to a banner. Therefore, if you were setting key values to banners using older sdk you need to update it. You can use two methods to do it:

1. Create an NSArray with AFKeyValue objects and set it to the banner.
2. Use "AFKeyValuesFromNSDictionary()" function to convert a NSDictionary with key values that you used to set to the banner, to NSArray with AFKeyValue objects and set it to the banner.

You can find an example here.
