Enable "Compatible With" field in Worpress Theme and Plugin
This is an important update without which you can not guarantee the installation of themes and plugins in compatible versions, causing rework.
Each version of a plugin or theme is compatible with a range of versions of Wordpress and other plugins that are used together to provide the features declared by the developer of a given plugin or theme.
At a first moment you can add the fields below in the "Upload Pugin" or "Upload Theme" screen:
Wordpress Minimum Version
Wordpress Maximum Version
These values can be used in the "Install Wordpress" screen to validate the versions being used in the set, optionally.
Themes or plugins usually declare a range of compatible versions of other plugins, such as WooCommerce combined with a payment plugin. This way you can create sets with versions of plugins and themes, compatible between them.

Please change title to "Enable Themes and Plugins version validation in Wordpress Toolkit" to make it more clearer for user to vote.

A second way to do this would be to create a new "Version Validated Set" set type, which would only allow themes and plugins containing the version information supported for validation.
