What would be the reason to upgrade?

Is 4.0 backwards compatible with 3.x?

If it is not backwards compatible then it will require more work to
integrate and will require 3.x and 4.0 be supported. I currently do
not have the time to do this, but would encourage others to contribute
if they want 4.0 support, as it should be possible to plug in such an
implementation to the client API.
