I still use dvm (this version 0.4.4 is the latest I believe).

It still works, at least on OSX. But the errors it throws are not very 
user friendly, most of the time you get a stack trace.

I've never used the --latest switch (which BTW fails on OSX as well). 
Likely it's a change in how the metadata is stored on the server. Just 
install by name:

dvm install 2.080.1
