Update Drupal core from ~11.3.0 to ~11.4.0 in the Varbase Carousels module (10.1.x)

Problem/Motivation

Drupal 11.4.0 stable was released on 1 Jul 2026 by catch: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/11.4.0

This is a feature minor release of Drupal 11 and is ready for use on production sites. Learn more about Drupal 11 and the Drupal core release cycle. Read the Drupal 11.4.0 release announcement for improvements and highlights in this release.

The Varbase Carousels module on the 10.1.x branch (used by Varbase 10.1.x) currently pins Drupal core to ~11.3.0 (see Composer version constraints), so it cannot be installed or updated on Drupal 11.4.x. Related: Drupal core release schedule.

Steps to reproduce

On a Drupal 11.4.0 site, install/update Varbase Carousels from the 10.1.x branch: it is blocked because varbase_carousels.info.yml and composer.json require ~11.3.0.

Proposed resolution

Update the Drupal core constraint from ~11.3.0 to ~11.4.0 on the 10.1.x branch in composer.json (drupal/core) and varbase_carousels.info.yml (core_version_requirement).
