Version 6.2.3
This release brings a number of improvements and fixes.
The most important change is that the Dissonance network protocol has been upgraded to support an unlimited number of players in a session (previously this was limited to around 20). This change is completely backward and forward compatible - old clients can talk to new servers and new clients can talk to old servers.

New Features
- Improved network handshake protocol to support an unlimited number of players in a Dissonance session (previously limited to approximately 20). This change is backward and forward compatible - any mix of old/new clients/servers will function properly.
- Added `ResetMicrophoneCapture` method, which will force a reset of the Dissonance microphone system. This can resolve some issue caused by third party systems interfering with the microphone
Bug Fixes
- Fixed `VoiceBroadcastTrigger` component to properly fade out speech when tokens are removed
- Fixed `RemoteVoiceVolume` property not accepting any value except zero
- Fixed host migration for Photon Unity Networking integration
- Improved microphone reset system to do significantly less work (re-use more components)
