pg_resetwal (formerly pg_resetxlog) doesn't insist on finding a matching version number in pg_control, and that seems like an important thing to preserve since recovering from corrupt pg_control is a prime reason to need to run it. However, that means you can try to run it against a data directory of a different major version, which is at best useless and at worst disastrous. So as to provide some protection against that type of pilot error, inspect PG_VERSION at startup and refuse to do anything if it doesn't match. PG_VERSION is read-only after initdb, so it's unlikely to get corrupted, and even if it were corrupted it would be easy to fix by hand. This hazard has been there all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
