CarbonLib 1.6?

Excuse my ignorance, but how can I tell what verion of CarbonLib I have installed on my computer?

Apple has just recently released a stand alone version of it's CarbonLib 1.6

Apparently it was available through Sofware Update too. I've updated regularly, and don't recall having downloaded CarbonLib 1.6 from the Software Update. Nor does it appear in my Software Update Log...

So, how do I tell what version I've got installed, and do I need to install it if I've got an older version?

In updating, what risks do I run, and what backups should I make, if any?

Thanks.

 

Thanks Sun Baked.

Thanks Sun Baked,

I just checked and found that it is version 1.4 from July 2001.

I'm pretty sure that is what it came preinstalled with. It's a Quicksilver DP 800.

So, should I update it? Is it a big deal that I would need to backup anything first?

Do I have to update to 1.5 first, and then go to 1.6?

Thanks again.
