MaestroAPI 4.x API comparison

Maestro 4.x has fundamental API changes from 2.x. This table outlines the main classes/interfaces in 2.x and their equivalents in 3.x (NOTE: This is not a comprehensive list, and the list has not been verified yet). The list also contains small code samples, that will late be pit in a separate section. Also see the API 3.x Comparisons guide for more info.
