Version Hell

Definitions

1. A state where conflicting versions of libraries, runtimes, or tools make it hard to build, run, or integrate software reliably. It is closely related to dependency hell but emphasizes version mismatch specifically.

   In plain English: A mess caused by incompatible software versions.

   Example: "The plugin ecosystem slipped into version hell after the API split."
