Error when invocate -> sendDirectMessage

[edufuentes]

Greetings friend, I'm testing the library version 4.0.7 but I'm giving error when I send a direct message, this version is compatible with the changes made and published here:

"Direct Message migration guide
On September 17th, 2018 we retired the legacy Direct Message endpoints. If you had been using those endpoints, please make sure to migrate over to the new Direct Message endpoints or the Activity API. "

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/direct-messages/sending-and-receiving/guides/direct-message-migration.html

When I try the "sendDirectMessage" method it gives me this error: status: 404 Not Found
[2018-09-19 16:30:21,978][DEBUG][http-nio-8443-exec-866][][twitter4j.HttpResponseImpl:52] - {"errors":[{"code":50,"message":"User not found."}]}

Hi Guys,

I am also having an issue with using 4.0.7 that is supposed to use the new DM Endpoints. I get a different error though:
