 The interfaces in this list ending with `V2` supercede deprecated equivalents with an older, more restrictive interface. Additionally `ServeEventListener` deprecates `PostServeAction`.
 
+As of WireMock version `3.6.0`, the `Extension` interface has two new lifecycle methods called `start()` and `stop()`.
