Vassal 3.4.3

This is the current release. See the release notes for details.

  1. If you prefer to continue using Apple's Java 6 plug-in, follow the steps provided in the Java for OS X 2014-001 topic at the Apple Developer site. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple's Java 6 alongside the macOS JDK or JRE for Java 10?
  2. The problem may be that you're using Mac OS X 10.6.7, but the download in the link is for Mac OS X 10.5. I couldn't find a specific JVM upgdate for Mac OS X 10.6., so you may have to download a combo updater for 10.6 (as @Stefan mentions) and use Pacifist to extract the JVM updater.
