There is some documentation for upgrading TACTIC to a new version:
http://community.southpawtech.com/docs/s...de-tactic/
These instruction suggest you symbolically link the TACTIC to a fixed folder and all you have to do is change the symbolic link and run "python upgrade_db.py -f" (located in src/bin folder). Now, if you want to run the latest version, you can always clone the GitHub repository and link to the repository. Checking out a branch will "switch" to that version automatically. Remember to always run upgrade_db.py if you upgrade. You can usually downgrade unless there is a drastic change (for example, you are running python3 and want to go to TACTIC 4.5).
For the VFX module, most people have been using 4.5 and it seems that through 4.6 and 4.7, there are a bunch of things that got broken. So for 4.8, we have been making a concerted effort to have the VFX module running smoothly, so I would recommend either 4.5 or 4.8 for the VFX module, with 4.8 being preferred because it is so much better and is now pretty stable. We are fixing bugs as they come up.
And if you do have an issue or problem, feel free to post here to discuss or if you know it's a bug (ie: stack trace or error popup), then you can log it into Github directly:
