!!! note "Point releases"
It is not currently possible to specify compatibility with point releases. If your extension is compatible with CiviCRM 4.7.21 but *not* 4.7.20, then you will need to clearly specify this in the [comments](#comments).

!!! note "Forward compatibility (4.7/5.x)"
For CiviCRM 3.x and 4.x, `<ver>` tags must explicitly list all compatible versions.
For CiviCRM 4.7.x and 5.x, `<ver>` tags imply forward compatibility.
Because 4.7.x and 5.x are substantively the same series, `<ver>4.7</ver>` implies forward compatiblity with 5.x.
