You can use prepocessor directives to achieve backward compatibility, at
least for a couple of new releases and then drop support for older vdr
in a later release. There are many people that use 1.2.6, yet. 

Consider a thing like that:

#if VDRVERSNUM >= 10307
newcode here
#else
oldcode here
#endif

I'll do that in the new version of prefermenu plugin, at least for now
:)
