For changes prior to 3.1.10, see the change log.

The recommended minimum Java version for VASSAL 3.1 has changed. A bug in
versions of Java prior to 1.5.0_08 (a.k.a. Java 5 update 8) prevents some
images from loading properly. We now recommend that anyone using a version
of Java older than 1.5.0_08 upgrade to *at least* 1.5.0_08.

For Linux and Mac users, this should require no action on your part. Windows
users installing VASSAL 3.1.14 with the Windows installer will be prompted to
update Java if what they have is older than 1.5.0_08. If you are a Windows
user, you must restart your computer after installing a Java update in order
for Java programs to work properly.

We encourage Windows users to upgrade to Java 1.6.0_18 (a.k.a. Java 6
Update 18) or newer, in order to avoid various bugs present in earlier
versions of Java.

For feature changes from 3.0 to 3.1, see the release notes for 3.1.0.

Please report all bugs, even if they are bugs which you've already reported
against other versions. We take your bug reports very seriously---they're
the reason we're able to find and fix bugs.
