VASSAL 3.7.24 Released
The Vassal Team is happy to announce the release of Vassal 3.7.24.
IMPORTANT
- If you are using MacOS 14, please ensure you are using 14.4 or later, to avoid a bug in MacOS which prevents Vassal from starting.
- Modules saved in 3.7 are not openable by earlier versions of Vassal. We recommend keeping a backup copy of any pre-3.7 modules you plan to modify in 3.7 until you’ve verified that everything works to your satisfaction.
- Things may be broken which worked previously. If you find a new bug, please report it.
