CEP Extension for specific version using manifest.xml

Question

Let’s say I want to target Illustrator 2026. I’ve seen examples like:<Host Name="ILST" Version="[30.0,30.9]" /> But if a 30.10 comes out, or even a 30.9.1, it falls outside that range. Is there a good way to cover all future 2026 versions?

Understood. I thought that would suffice, but you have a reason to limit CEP to specific major versions only.

It seems values up to 9 digits can be used. While formats like `30.999999999` are technically allowed, it's unclear whether they will function correctly.

Thanks @sttk3 ! I was able to find the right answer in that document.
<Host Name="ILST" Version="[30,31)" />
Yes, that’s an opening bracket but a closing parenthesis. This means "everything above 30 but below 31" so everything "2026" and no "2027"

Specifying only the minimum version resolves the issue.<Host Name="ILST" Version="30.0" />
