Hang on please.

There were plans to produce a new incompatible release with new Maven
coords and new package names.
However as I recall there was some pushback from users who wished to
have a drop-in release.
That is not possible unless the release is binary compatible.

So I spent quite a bit of effort reworking the changes so as to
facilitate a binary compatible release.
As far as I can recall, that effort was successful apart from changes
to an interface (or two).

There were some ideas as to how to resolve the interface
incompatibilty, but no agreement was reached.
I think the options were:
- introduce new interface(s) extending the old one(s)
- keep the interface(s) and handle any runtime errors
- use the Java 8 (?) facility which allows an interface to contain a
method implementation.

Note that the code does not yet support some Java 8 features.
