the AIConnection class was removed entirely for a reason that afaik was never explained
He claimed it was because of the memory leak in them, people always using them for the wrong purpose, and also that all the functions needed to control bots were member functions of the aiPlayer anyways.
But they had a few cool other properties to them that you can't do with anything else, so I wasn't totally sold on the whole deal. Nothing really to be done about it now though.
