Hi,=20
we only patch the master, so if a new version is out, any previous ones is =
EOLed in term of support.=20

We do that because since ASM 4 (october 2011) we have a mechanism (API vers=
ioning) to emulate old ASM behavior with the latest version of ASM,=20
by example you can use ASM 9.0 but using visitors configured with the API A=
SM_7 (support of Java 11).=20
So you can upgrade to a newer release without changing the API version (upg=
rading to a new release of ASM and upgrading to a new version of Java bytec=
ode are two separate decisions).=20

regards,=20
