backport

Backporting is the process of porting a software update that was developed for a relatively current version of a software entity, to an older version of the software. It is a maintenance activity of the software development process. Although a backported update can modify any aspect of the software, the technique is typically used for relatively small scope changes such as fixing a software bug or security vulnerability.
