Nickenich, Germany - (May 6th, 2025) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Plugin 15.2 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 15.2 has been updated and now includes over 7600 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions: Our Integration of the Saxon XML processing library into Xojo completed with the Saxon 12.6 release. You can use XSLT 3.0 for transformations, XQuery 3.1 for queries, XSD 1.1 for document validation and XPath 3.1 for navigation within documents. We added new shortcuts for developers on macOS for calculation dialogs defining formulas: Press key combinations to define the return type just like field types, e.g. command-N for number. For DynaPDF we have a new DynaPDF.RenderJob function to perform rendering pages in a background thread. This keeps the main thread free while you receive a script trigger when it finished. The DynaPDF library can now incrementally update PDF documents and better handle big TIFF images. We added functions to control bidi modes for right to left languages and ReadImageFormatFile and DynaPDF.ReadImageResolutionFile functions to query information for image files. We improved our ListDialog functions. You can define the value returned for the buttons and define whether an extra button needs a selection. And you can control whether we swap OK and cancel button on Windows. You can use auto complete on macOS for file path dialogs. The auto completion now handles XL function names better with two dots. The If/Loop highlighting can show the blocks defined by enter find mode and perform find. Plugin defined variables can contains value lists. Use Variable.ValueCount to count values in the variable and use Variable.AppendValue and Variable.PopValue to add and remove values. Similarly you can store JSON in a plugin based variable and add JSON using Variable.AppendJSON and remove it later using Variable.PopJSON thread safely. For auditing you can set the name of the table occurence for the AuditLog table. If you use UUIDs as primary key, you can use Audit.SetUUIDFields to define the exact names of the fields with the UUID. We added the XL functions to define styled tables in an Excel files, a JSON.ToCSV function to turn JSON into CSV text and added ExtensionFilter parameter for Files.ListRecursive function. Finally we updated the CURL library to version 8.13.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.100.285, expat to 2.7.1, libarchive to 3.7.9, LibXL to 4.6, SQLAPI to 5.3.6, Saxon to 12.6 and we updated the plugin SDK.
