Apple CarbonLib SDK 1.4 is the latest version of this "developers kit" that contains CarbonLib 1.4. And it looks like this version of CarbonLib is about ready for prime time. Advance word is that it fixes many previously reported problems with 1.3.x.

    Update: It appears that CarbonLib 1.4 does not resolve drag-and-drop problems previously cited.

      Ken Marks writes: "I have installed CarbonLib 1.4GM from the SDK 1.4 kit and it does not solve the problem of not being able to drag items to the menus of Action Menus."

      James Meiss found that CarbonLib 1.4 still causes the "Draglib error" drag and drop problem that occurred with StuffIt software and CarbonLib 1.3.1.
