Simpler Engine Version Dependent Compilation?

Questions & Answers
1

I’m looking at the platform-specific compilation options that unity gives us, and at the other questions here, and it seems really limited. I mean, if I want to write a plugin with a 4.5.0 features, do I really have to write

#if !UNITY_2_6 && !UNITY_3_0 && !UNITY_3_1 && !UNITY_3_2 && !UNITY_3_3 && !UNITY_3_4 
     && !UNITY_3_5 && !UNITY_4_0 && !UNITY_4_1 && !UNITY_4_2 && !UNITY_4_3 && !UNITY_4_4
//code with unity 4.5.0 feature
#else
//alternative code
#endif

in every single file? And the problem is only going to get worse as more versions are released.

Surely there must be a better way!

You could do

#if Unity_4_5
// Platform code
#else
// Alternative code
#endif

This will still break every time the version increases. Not sure there is a way around that.
