Jake, this would be a good time to bring up a point about bugs in
source code. Make sure your code executes only on this particular version
of Cocoa. That way, when apple releases a new version, yours will still
access the older one (in theory).
However, when you post an update to your program, by that time, you can
make sure your code is version independent and depending on what version
of Cocoa the user is running is the parts of your code that gets executed.
Apple is not obligated to make sure their library is completely backward
compatible, they are only obligated to make sure the user has a
seemless upgrade. For instance, they developed a very good versioning
system to help with problems like this.
Anyway, this is just my opinion towards your problem, but if you create a
good multiversion function, then even if apple just changes the
documentation, you would already be a step ahead of them.
