-
-This field will abort the build if the user doesn't have a recent enough version of dub
-and miss needed feature to perform the build.
-
-`minDubVersion` can be added to project's `dub.json`:
--------
-{
-    ...
-    "minDubVersion": "1.10"
-    ...
-}
-------
-or `dub.sdl`:
-------
-minDubVersion "1.10"
