Got a newspost over at CarraraCafe about the SDK for Carrara, more info here, crossposted in the development forum too:

I wish the Carrara Cafe admins would test the site on all of the mainstream browsers.
Here’s what I see on the Mac Safari browser when I follow the link.

Had issues in Firefox, works better in IE or Opera.
Recommend to install Opera, it is fast and safe compared to most other browsers:

I’m sure I could browser-hop until I found one that displays it as intended, but I think they should put more effort into the Carrara Cafe site if they actually want people to look at it.

(It works poorly on the iPad as well.)

I meant permanently switch to opera for all browsing, its faster and safer.
For the iPad, there is opera mini, which I guess beats the crap out of the built in browser, with the server side decoding of complex sites.

I don’t think this is the place for browser advocacy, but browser preference is a multi-factor issue and isn’ simple.

Back to the thread topic: How much does the SDK change between versions? Surely there was an 8.x SDK before now for the plugins to be updated? How does this affect plugin/extension developers compared to the prior release?

Edited for negativity, apologies for prior content

I use 3 browsers, any site issue and I switch browser, if the issue is still there, I avoid the site.
Works for me.

Older SDKs are here, I lack the experience to say anything meaninful, but you can look at the samples and books to judge yourself:
