I also noticed that when I removed GCD, it did not appear in the "New Map". I had to close the download maps screen and reopen it for GCD to appear. Be aware that both the "Remove" process and the "Install" to quite a few minutes to complete. So be patient.
Cheers...

So I'm not on mac, but the main reason why someone would want to run 2.5 is just cause it's listed as the last stable, so like for multiplayer in play by forum games or the lobby and such if they want to game with people who are still using 2.5
2.6 the latest is pre-release, so more like for make makers or players who want to test the latest features. Thing is it's been a while since the last update to stable, but the pre-release has a number of the new features that the map was designed to make use of, or some new stuff added into the more recent 2.6 builds.
So anyway I think answer to Q1 would be yeah better in 2.6
q2. when you download the pre-release for 2.6 for your OS, this won't automatically replace/update the maps in your downloads folder which exist (at least on my OS) in a local downloaded maps folder. So basically when you install 2.6 just go to your downloaded maps folder and remove whatever was there before. The GCD folder. This will allow you to click the "download maps" button when you launch TripleA and grab the map.
There are no maps that are actually bundled with tripleA, other than the tutorial map. So basically you might need to remove a map, and grab it again if switching from 2.5 to 2.6, just cause the structure is a little different in how maps are set up to work with 2.6.
I had a similar issue a little while back trying to figure it out, also with the slight lag. Probably just cause it's a very large map, like bigger file size and such maybe? It's always a little trickier than one would hope hehe. TheDog or someone might be able to walk ya through it, and then the same stuff should work for any other new maps that might come out if you need to re-grab whatever for your local collection.

@black_elk great explanation. Thank you !!!

@ezgaming
Hopefully you got it working and managed a few games? -
@thedog sure did. Thanks. It’s a great game for sure. Ofc, like most ww2 games, it’s balanced over how long it takes for Germany to lose… but that is standard and we all know that the axis cannot out produce the allies
I like the “railroad” thing. Where you set it up for troops to move 3 from a factory terrain. Very nice that.
There’s much more to explore so I’m happy to have it working now.
Cheers

v170 is NOT currently available in game as a download
it is now
actually it will update without the yaml being updated. It just doesn't notify you that theres a new version

@beelee
Thanks for merging on GitHub.actually it will update without the yaml being updated. It just doesn't notify you that theres a new version
Also, thanks for confirming in 2.6 there is no version control for map downloads.
So now the easiest way is to update a map is to remove and add it in TripleA (as post above)
Also I have put the map version in the xml <property name="notes"> as below, so I know what version players are having trouble with and for my own benefit.

@thedog well I don't think 2.6 does anything different as far as the yaml goes.
When you update the yaml you'll get a notification when you start triplea saying there updates for any maps that you have downloaded.
If you don't update yaml, the new version will still be the one that gets downloaded.
That's why I have a notification with the date and version at game start, similar to what you have.
I'm not entirely sure about the future of the map yaml, I thought maybe it was gonna go away when 2.6 is released.
I'm not sure about that or how it would work if it happens though.
