Description

In 4.0 we have no backwards compatibility, but in 4.1 we must again ivy-retrieve the 4.0 JAR file and run the core tests again (like in 3.6). We may think about other modules, too, so all modules that must be backwards compatible should be added to this build.

I will work on this once we have a release candidate in Maven Central.
