You're correct. Version 1.12 will work as a drop-in replacement for
v1.11, but it also has the enhancement that enables it to communicate
with WSJT-X through a file defined by any pathname, rather than just
kvasd.dat in the current working directory.

It seems to me that this capability should be retained. So, after they
have been tested by someone else beside me, I suppose the v1.12
executables for all platforms should replace those now in the SVN
repository under .../trunk/kvasd-binary ?
