The PDE Target Editor now supports to specify a range as version of a <code>unit</code> or to omit the specification of a version entirely in <code>InstallableUnit</code> locations.
Without an explicit version the value <code>0.0.0</code> is used by default, which resolves to the latest version available.
In the PDE Target Editor it is now possible to specify a range as <code>version</code> of a <code>unit</code> or to omit the specification of a <code>version</code> attribute entirely in <code>InstallableUnit</code> locations.
Without an explicit version the value <code>0.0.0</code> is used by default, which always resolves to the latest version available.
All of the following variants to specify a version in the <code>Source</code> tab of the Target Editor are now possible:

After clicking the <code>Edit</code> button for a location, you can specify a version range for a selected unit directly in the table.
Entering <code>latest</code> is equivalent to <code>0.0.0</code> and always resolves to the latest version of that unit.
