Avoiding newer APIs from breaking suppot for older VaM versions

[Acid Bubbles]

When new APIs are released, like FileManagerSecure.CreateDirectory, everyone with slightly older versions get an error like this:

I have no way of preventing this error other than not using new APIs...
There is a fairly simple way to fix that though: provide precompiler directives.

// ...

#if(VAM_1_19_2)

// Code using those new APIs only available since then

#endif

// ...

You could add VAM_1_19 and VAM_1_19_2 for all releases where you added or changed public APIs (or always), so when VAM_1_20 is out, VAM_1_19 is still defined and will still work.

Otherwise for Timeline I won't be able to use anything new without breaking with errors people cannot understand...

This will be in 1.20 and beyond:
