UNITY_2019_OR_NEWER not recognised in Unity 2020

I have assets which support from Unity 2018 and to protect against Unity API changes we rely on the Unity Precompiler directives to ensure compatibility across Unity versions.

However in testing today, I found that the UNITY_2019_OR_NEWER directive is not recognised by Unity 2020. (just retested in 2019, not recognised there either)

Neither is UNITY_2020_OR_NEWER.

I've had to resort to the following for the time being which works as expected but is not future proof by any means.

Code (CSharp):

1. #if (UNITY_2019 || UNITY_2020)

Thoughts?

 

Was this ever official? I looked in this docs page:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PlatformDependentCompilation.html

And see no sign of _OR_NEWER type things.

Correction: it's there, I can't read. See @Mauri post below for more info.

 

It does say the following on that page:

Also, see this:

@OP Have you tried

UNITY_2019_1_OR_NEWER

and

UNITY_2020_1_OR_NEWER

? Are they getting recognized?

 

Clearly I cannot read. Thanks!
