I had that warning for my spell checking dictionaries.  It is hard to 
update one of these types of extensions, when you have a limited ability 
to make it "better".

I will have to see about adding the 4.0 version in the list of versions 
it works with, but the last time I got the warning, adding the 3.6 
version to the list did not remove it.

I do not thinkthere should be the "not tested with therecent 
version..."  Since it could have been and people like me could not 
remember how to add the 4.0 version to their extension through the sites 
editing process.
