Description

This is done with a separate map "repo.newt_compatibility" in the repo's repository.yml file.

Example:

repo.newt_compatibility:
    1.0.0:
        1.1.0: error
        1.0.0: good
        0.9.99: warn
        0.9.9: error

This says that this version 1.0.0 of this repo is compatible with newt versions [1.0.0, 1.1.0). Newt versions in the range [0.9.99, 1.0.0) elicit a warning message. All other newt versions generate an error.

A project can also indicate newt version restrictions

Example (project.yml):

project.newt_compatibility:
    1.1.0: error
    1.0.0: good
    0.9.99: warn
    0.9.9: error

Just to be clear, the newt version numbers are minimum version numbers. The following table:

    1.0.0: good
    0.1.0: error

Says that newt versions >= 0.1.0 and < 1.0.0 elicit an error. All newt versions >= 1.0.0 are OK.
