In computing, version targeting is a technique that allows a group of (presumably knowledgeable) users (including software developers) to use some advanced software features that were introduced in a particular software version while allowing users accustomed to the prior versions to still use the same software as if the new features were never added to the software. It is a way to ensure backward compatibility when new software features would otherwise break it.
