Ah, well I had also sort of thought it would be a good idea to try my own app on something more bleeding edge. There are some things broken I need to address. But unless you have problems with something in the new release on default command line usage it seems you can easily control version in other scenarios.

The above currently works for me. Different people have different preferences for how things work.

Not sure on that.
