Use this reference of build number ranges to specify the correct `since-build` and `until-build` values in your plugin descriptor.

When using Gradle, setting the actual values in `plugin.xml` is usually managed by the `patchPluginXml` task, see [Patching the Plugin Configuration File](/tutorials/build_system/gradle_guide.md#patching-the-plugin-configuration-file) for details.

> **NOTE** Compatibility with specified version range (and compatible products) should always be verified using [Plugin Verifier](/reference_guide/api_changes_list.md#verifying-compatibility) to ensure binary compatibility.

Starting with IntelliJ IDEA 9 beta, a multi-part build number is used, such as `IU-162.94`.

The number consists of the following parts:

* Product ID (`IC` for IDEA Community, `IU` for IDEA Ultimate, `RM` for RubyMine, `PY` for PyCharm, etc.)
* Branch number (`162`)
* Build number in the branch (`94`)

Since version 2016.2 of the *IntelliJ Platform*, branch numbers are based on the `YYYY.R` [IDE release version numbers](https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2016/03/09/jetbrains-toolbox-release-and-versioning-changes/).
The branch number takes the last two digits of the year and the `R` release number.
For example, `162` for 2016.2, `163` for 2016.3, `171` for 2017.1.
In this scheme, `IU-162.94` corresponds to the 2016.2 release.

Starting with 2016.2, the build number may also have multiple components: `IU-162.94`, `IU-162.94.11`, `IU-162.94.11.256.42`.
This gives more flexibility for third-party plugins and IDE developers.
Plugins may specify compatibility versions more precisely; IDE vendors may have build numbers based on a specific *IntelliJ Platform* version and specify additional internal version (e.g. `256.42` in `XX-162.94.11.256.42`) to allow plugin developers for their IDE to specify compatibility.

Multi-part build numbers can also be used in the `since-build` and `until-build` attributes of `idea-version`.
Usually you should omit the product ID and use only the branch number and build number, for example:

```xml
<idea-version since-build="94.539"/>
<idea-version since-build="162.539.11"/>
<idea-version until-build="162"/> <!-- any build until 162, not inclusive!-->
<idea-version since-build="162" until-build="162.*"/> <!-- any 162-based version, 162.94, 162.94.11, etc.-->
```

> **NOTE** Specific build numbers and their corresponding release version are available via _Previous Releases_ on the corresponding product's download page, e.g. [Previous IntelliJ IDEA Releases](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/previous.html).

Note that there is no `170`.
In the `YYYY.R` versioning scheme, the `R` part starts at 1.
