BTW, this required a change to the DocumentIdToPathMapper.
If you have implemented a custom mapper class, you have to
update it:

-    String getPath(String documentId, String language);
+    String getPath(String documentId, String language, String extension);

-    File getFile(Publication publication, String area, String documentId,
-        String language);
+    File getFile(Publication publication, String area, String documentId,
+        String language, String extension);



Sorry for the inconvenience,
