See help|Objects and Items, at the bottom:

"Description of weather watch boxes:

Watch boxes and "areas of maximum concern" (AOMC) generated by the Wxsvr
(http://wxsvr.net/) are colored as follows:

   Yellow dashed = Severe Thunderstorm Watch  (looks like crime scene tape)
    Yellow solid = AOMC for Severe Thunderstorm Warning
      Red dashed = Tornado Watch
       Red solid = AOMC for Tornado Warning.
    Green dashed = Mesoscale (larger) discussion area
     Blue dashed = Test Watch
      Blue solid = Test Warning"

http://www.wxsvr.net/APRS_Multiline_Protocol.html Is the best source for 
that.

As for the version number differences, the anonymous CVS server is 
running against a backup server with a ~24 hour delay. According to the 
sourceforge site status: "pserver-based CVS access from external hosts 
(i.e. not the project shell server) will be served against the backup 
CVS server, which contains data roughly 24 hours older than that on the 
primary CVS server"
