Nickenich, Germany - (January 13th, 2026) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Plugin 16.0 for Claris FileMaker for macOS, iOS, Linux and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin currently available for Claris FileMaker produce line. As the leading database management solution for Windows, macOS, iOS and the web, the Claris FileMaker Pro Integrated Development Environment supports a plugin architecture that can easily extend the feature set of the application. MBS FileMaker Plugin 16.0 has been updated and now includes over 7800 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions: Our plugin adds a Search button to the Script Workspace on both macOS and Windows. When clicked, it scans all scripts and opens a search window where you can enter keywords. The results show every location where the text is found. You can enable or disable this button using the SyntaxColoring.ScriptSearchButton.SetEnabled function. On macOS and iOS, we leverage Apple’s Translation framework to perform fully local, on-device translations. Users simply download the required languages in System Settings. Our Translation functions can then start a session with a selected language pair and perform translations directly within your solution. Our XL functions now support an additional parameter for passing a password when opening encrypted Excel files. LibXL 5.0.1 supports multiple hashing and encryption algorithms. The new Hash.CRC16 function provides support for various 16-bit checksum formats. Hotkeys can now be restricted to FileMaker windows only. For JSON output, you can customize which characters are used for pretty formatting. The Files.GetNodeID function is now available on all platforms and allows you to query a file’s node ID. Markdown text can be syntax-highlighted using the MarkDown.Colorize function. You can also generate multiple linked barcodes using the StructuredAppend parameter and export them as images. We improved the field picker shortcut and the format button to support HTML in addition to XML and JSON. The web viewer used by the Overlay.AddWebViewer function now supports fmp: URLs. CURL debugging can display SFTP command paths and now uses Apple’s SecTrust framework for certificate verification, replacing the previous UseSystemCertificates option. Finally we updated the CURL library to version 8.18.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.102.302, GraphicsMagick to 1.3.46, lcms2 to 2.18, mongo-c-driver to 2.2.0, SQLAPI to 5.4.1, LibXL to 5.0.1 and Xcode to version 26.1.1.
