If you want to fix an existing older version (= backporting), you would 
usually do a new bugfix release for that version. For example, to fix 
0.4.10, you would make a bugfix 0.4.11.

That being said, often it's sufficient to just fix the latest version 
and ask people to upgrade. Backporting only makes sense if you need/want 
to support existing, possibly incompatible versions of 
programs/libraries, where upgrades are non-trivial. A good example are 
operating systems.
