1. We support a new way to define _launch images_ on iOS. _Launch images_ are something displayed by the iOS when the application is, well, launching. They are displayed immediately when you click the application, before any CGE code (even Objective-C code) has been run. Their point is to communicate to the user _“the application is launching, please wait”_, so that the (usually very short) delay when the application launches is not a problem (user will not look confused at the screen, wondering whether (s)he clicked the screen OK etc.).

2. In a related department, we have made it more flexible how our CGE “loading” image is displayed. This is the image displayed by CGE while the `Application.OnInitialize` is being executed. (So it happens _after_ launch images, in case of iOS.)
