Thanks but I am still confused.
When I run the "NewYear_MG" version, I get an "OpenRails" tab in the "Options" menu and can control the loco from the RailDriver unit. I set all of this up several months ago.
When I run the "Stable", "Testing" and "Unstable" versions, I do not get access to the "OpenRails" tab in "Options" and can only control the loco from the RailDriver unit when I follow the procedure detailed in the Open Rails manual.
Is this how it should be? I am using the latest versions available for all of the four versions of Open Rails.

your observations properly reflect the current status

Main branch versions ("Stable"/"Testing"/"Unstable") still implement the original method of calibrating the RailDriver, which also uses fixed/non-user-assignable key mappings on the the buttons. The Open Rails documentation describes how to use the RailDriver's original calibration tool to generate a calibration file so it will work in Open Rails.
The "forked" versions ("OR_NewYear_MG" and "Ultimate") have the updated RailDriver calibration and button assignments in a tab of the OR "Options" menu as long as the RailDriver is plugged in when Open Rails starts.
That's probably the easiest way to explain the difference.

Understood. Any my question. "Is this how it will remain, or are there plans to use the version currently available with "NewYear_MG", with all versions?"

There are not yet any concrete plans to improve Raildriver support in the mainline branch, but I am interested in investigating it after Open Rails 1.4 is released.
