As stated in the Readme of the Aminet release, #556 is not new. It was already available here at EAB and at A1k.org end of last year for download. But #556 has at least a little workaround for missing DiskObject signatures, because some programs didn't supply that and thus failed with #555.

#556 also seems to be the most stable version at the moment, although no software is ever free of bugs. It still has a problem with ProcessIcon and my IconMixer, which is fixed in #559. It also has a very small memory leak, as reported by a user, but the memory leak in #557 and up is even bigger. I'm still working on a fix, the bigger one is fixed already (internally, not published yet).

The code for the new TrueColor dragging is still under construction, so all the test versions here (#557-#561) are in an experimental state, just uploaded in order to collect feedback and get bug-reports from the users. It's impossible for me to test new features with every possible system configuration. "Tricky Drag°n" will take a lot more time before it's finished and stable enough. The next test version may come with DOpus5 support, but nothing new for CGX4 yet.
