How can I tell if I have the latest release of Carbon for Unreal?

There is a dynamic message on the bottom of the Carbon Core Palette that will notify you of any new versions.

Is Carbon for Unreal a Project Plugin or an Engine Plugin?

We opted to develop Carbon as a Project plugin, so every project can use a different version of the plugin if needed. This is to support projects with long lifecycles or ones that need to be revisited at a later date.

Can I package my project as a standalone executable?

Carbon for Unreal is a pre-compiled plugin, and therefore does not contain any source files. Current licensing disallows the packaging of Carbon as a redistributable. Users can apply for exceptions to this rule if you work with Imaginary Labs as a project partner.
