I'll let you know when I become unconsciously competent at launching vassal versions instead of clicking on file saves I'd say I've reached the consciously competent stage, at least...I am much less ambitious. I simply use one version of VASSAL for one thing and another for another. Currently, I have a regular game with two opponents, a long-running CG in 6.5.1/3.2.17. We started it using that and finish it that way.
I have another regular opponent who is currently on 3.4.11 (unless he has changed without telling me!) and so I use 6.6.1/3.4.11 with him.
When doing development work on VASL, I tend to use the latest VASSAL version. So, 6.6.2 has been developed in 3.4.5. I see 3.5.5 is out today and I will move to whatever the latest version of VASSAL is when I put out the official release.
I have not had any major conflict issues but then I always start VASSAL, start VASL, etc, etc. Now that VASSAL shows the VASSAL version in the top of the VASSAL window, I find it easier to ensure I am using the correct VASL/VASSAL combo.
It is certainly helpful to see what going on when the VASSAL version is in the window.
wrt 3.5.5, should we start using that to test the 6.2.2-beta or wait and still use 3.5.4 for the testing? Sounds like the latter.
