CURL removes Secure Transport
by Christian Schmitz 16 Jul '25

16 Jul '25

Hello, Anyone using CURLSMBS or CURLNMBS classes on macOS with Secure Transport? Since CURL removes support for Secure Transport, we will deprecate CURLNMBS now and remove it later this year. Anyone using it, please move to CURLSMBS. There you can pick the backend dynamically in code. You can still pick Secure Transport there as well as Windows Secure Channel.

Nickenich, Germany - (July 15th, 2025) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 25.3 for macOS, Linux and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin collection currently available for Xojo. MBS Xojo Plugins have been updated and now includes over 3000 classes and 83,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions: Use Sign in with Apple to get an user identifier without making your own. Show a button to sign in and receive an identifier for the account. Use ASAuthorizationControllerMBS class to manage the whole interaction. Enjoy text recognition in audio files using the whisper open source library. Check the WhisperMBS module to load the library, pass in audio data and receive recognized text. Asynchronous I/O allows you to have multiple read and write operations running simultaneously. Check the DispatchIOMBS class to use asynchronous I/O for macOS and iOS. For SQLite we got extensions to enable: Base64, CSV and uuid functions. For SQLite we add a DumpToStrings function to InternalSQLiteLibraryMBS class. In preparation for macOS Tahoe we added an isTahoe function for SystemInformationMBS. We added properties and methods for Tahoe to NSSliderMBS, NSViewMBS, NSControlMBS, NSScreenMBS and NSToolbarItemMBS classes. For Java we have functions to query the list of loaded classes in JavaVMMBS class. You can inspect the available methods and fields to dynamically call them. To handle pasteboard permissions on macOS, we got new methods for NSPasteboardMBS class to ask for access and check contents of the pasteboard before asking for permission. If you like creating certificates, you can use GenerateRootCertificate method with PKeyMBS class to create a root certificate. Then you use GenerateCertificateSigningRequest method to generate a certificate signing request. Then use SignCertificateSigning to sign the leaf certificate. We improved barcode recognition with Vision framework on macOS and iOS, we added a search button to find function on documentation website, added methods to NSPrintInfoMBS class to get/set/remove custom properties and you can pick active signing field for DynaPDF. Use bzip2 and zstd as filter for zip archives and check WindowDisplayAffinityMBS property on a window to disallow screen capture for it. Finally we updated the CURL library to version 8.14.1, DynaPDF to 4.0.102.292, LibArchive to 3.8.1, mongo-c-driver to 1.30.5, Saxon to 12.8, SQLAPI to 5.3.7, SQLite to 3.50.2, Xcode 16.4 and we updated the Unikey library to a newer version.

The plug-ins requires Xojo 2017 release 3 and newer. While all plug-in parts compile on macOS, Linux and Windows, each function may depend on additional system requirements to work successfully.
