Leopard Technical Q&As: Legacy Documents
As Carbon and Mac OS X evolve, the APIs and technologies they encompass change to meet the needs of users and developers. As part of this evolution, less efficient features, interfaces, and programming techniques are retired or deprecated in favor of newer ones. Apple makes these changes only when deemed absolutely necessary. Legacy documents help developers identify replacements for deprecated and unsupported technologies and update their products to run on current Apple platforms.
Go to the Carbon Technical Q&As for up-to-date development information.
