Apple has released Carbon 1.2.5 GM SDK and it includes new Universal 
Headers (3.4).

Let's assume you want to begin using these new headers. So one thing you 
will likely do is replace the present Universal Headers folder in CW 
with the new ones from Apple.

Then you'd better rebuild your various libraries and projects.
You will have trouble because there are code changes needed in at least 
the following:

MSL SIOUX Carbon, PowerPlant Carbon.

I havn't checked further than this but there are probably others as well.

One of the reasons is that Apple has changed the AppleEvents.h header by 
removing 6 or so #defines for some UPP's used prior to Carbon 1.2.5.

I have sent an example SIOUX project demonstrating this to the 
indefatigable MWRon.

But it is trivial to reproduce as follows; e.g. for PowerPlant create a 
new Carbon Project, add a System access path to the new Universal 
Headers in the 1.2.5 Carbon Lib SDK and do an update.

You'll see the compiler errors.

So clearly MW will need to give this some attention and it dosn't look 
to be a very onerous task (just 6 errors). Maybe Greg Dow has already 
done it for PP?

Hopefully they can get to it soon because we want to use the new 
Universal Headers now with Carbon 1.2.5 GM don't we?

Or did I miss something here?

respect....
