I'd vote for the first approach - add new API, but mark the old one as
deprecated. At one point the deprecated API should be removed (maybe on a
minor version change?) so as to prevent a lot of cruft gathering in the
library

As to Egons concern regarding maintenance burden - I think it's a safe to
state that deprecated API's will not be maintained.
