Backward compatibility notes about upgrading to /v4 from /v3

If you're not using the extract.Extractor.FS interface, you will not face any breaking changes and upgrading should be as simple as changing the import to /v4. This should be the case for most of the userbase.

If you're using the Extractor.FS interface, then upgrading to /v4 will require to implement the new methods that have been added:

type FS interface {
    Link(string, string) error
    MkdirAll(string, os.FileMode) error
    OpenFile(name string, flag int, perm os.FileMode) (*os.File, error)
    Symlink(string, string) error

    // The following methods have been added in the /v4 interface:

    Remove(path string) error
    Stat(name string) (os.FileInfo, error)
    Chmod(name string, mode os.FileMode) error
}

There should be no other breaking changes in the /v4 API.
