4745 a layer is compatible. Using the :term:`LAYERSERIES_COMPAT` variable
4746 allows the layer maintainer to indicate which combinations of the
4747 layer and OE-Core can be expected to work. The variable gives the
4748 system a way to detect when a layer has not been tested with new
4749 releases of OE-Core (e.g. the layer is not maintained).

4751 To specify the OE-Core versions for which a layer is compatible, use
4752 this variable in your layer's ``conf/layer.conf`` configuration file.
4753 For the list, use the Yocto Project
4754 :yocto_wiki:`Release Name </Releases>` (e.g.
4755 &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;). To specify multiple OE-Core versions for the
4756 layer, use a space-separated list::
