 ### Changes
 - [#169](https://github.com/LayerManager/layman/issues/169) [POST Workspace Layers](doc/rest.md#post-workspace-layers) accepts also compressed data files in ZIP format (`*.zip`) in `file` parameter. [PATCH Workspace Layer](doc/rest.md#patch-workspace-layer) accepts also data file in ZIP format (`*.zip`) in `file` parameter.
 - [#503](https://github.com/LayerManager/layman/issues/503) Normalized GeoTIFF for raster files are also compressed.
+- [#232](https://github.com/LayerManager/layman/issues/232) Prefixes '>=' or '==' can be used in [MICKA_ACCEPTED_VERSION](doc/env-settings.md#micka_accepted_version).
 - [#169](https://github.com/LayerManager/layman/issues/169) [GET Workspace Layer](doc/rest.md#get-workspace-layer) returns path to main file inside archive if zipped file was sent (key `file.path`).
 - [#465](https://github.com/LayerManager/layman/issues/465) Fix situation, when Layman does not start if *.qgis file of the first layer with QML style does not exist. It was already fixed in v1.14.1.
 - [#464](https://github.com/LayerManager/layman/issues/464) Fix publishing layers with unusual attribute  names (e.g. `x,` or `Číslo`) and QML styles. It was already fixed in v1.14.1.

 ### MICKA_ACCEPTED_VERSION
-Version of Micka that Layman will accept on startup encoded as `version:revision`, e.g. `2020.014:2020-04-15.01`. If it is not set, a version defined in [LAYMAN_SETTINGS_MODULE](#LAYMAN_SETTINGS_MODULE) will be accepted.
+Version of Micka that Layman will accept on startup encoded as `version:revision`, e.g. `2020.014:2020-04-15.01`. Also, on one of '>=' or '==' prefixes can be used with obvious meaning, `e.g. >=2020.014:2020-04-15.01`. For prefix '>=', version and revision are compared independently as strings. If the variable is not set, a version defined in [LAYMAN_SETTINGS_MODULE](#LAYMAN_SETTINGS_MODULE) will be accepted. If none prefix is used, value is compared as with '=='.
 
 ### MICKA_HOSTPORT
 String with public domain and optionally port, e.g. `<domain>` or `<domain>:<port>`. Passed as configuration to Micka for demo purposes.
