Nickenich, Germany - (July 14th, 2026) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 26.3 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 85,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions: The AtomicDictionaryMBS class provides a thread safe dictionary. Beside all the normal dictionary functionality we have special functions to do multiple operations together in a thread safe matter. You can iterate such a dictionary using AtomicDictionaryIteratorMBS and get entries with AtomicDictionaryEntryMBS class. Use the AutoMutexMBS class to lock a mutex and automatically unlock it at the end of the method. Check the AutoLock and TryAutoLock methods in the MutexMBS class. The Vision classes got new features to recognize human body and hand poses. The new observation classes provide the points for the joints. Use the NLLanguageRecognizerMBS class to detect the dominant language of a text. You can limit the languages to consider and feed more text in chunks to get a more precise result with every chunk. Currently 58 languages are supported. We added the WebView2BrowserMBS class to control both the WebView in a WebView2ControlMBS control or a HTMLViewer. The XL classes got updated with new sort options for auto filters in XLAutoFilterMBS class. You can check data validations for a sheet in XLSheetMBS class, check whether a table has an auto filter and remove the filter. With StringMBS and StringViewMBS classes we have our own class for UTF-32 strings. Enjoy efficient string operations using views to avoid copying data. For macOS Golden Gate you can use NSRefreshControllerMBS class to allow the user to refresh a view with swiping down. For menu items you can specify whether to show the menu icon with preferredImageVisibility property in NSMenuItemMBS class. Check touch capabilities per screen with NSScreenMBS class. For DynaPDF we added the Sauvola filter to convert gray images to black & white. The WinSparkleMBS class got a CanShutdown event, detect the new macOS version with isGoldenGate function in SystemInformationMBS module, and we added ResolveThreadsMax and QuickExit properties to CURLSMultiMBS class. Finally we updated the CURL library to version 8.21.0, DynaPDF to 5.0.3.12, expat to 2.8.2, jsoncons to 1.8.1, lcms to 2.19.1, libarchive to 3.8.8, LibXL to 5.2.0, mongo-c-driver to 2.3.1, openssl to 3.5.7, SQLite to 3.53.3, the Argon2 code and Xcode to version 26.6. See release notes for a complete list of changes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/newinversion263 New functions in documentation: https://monkeybreadsoftware.net/newinversion263 If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. The plug-ins require 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. Only used plugin parts of plugins are added to your application. Plugin licenses are available for components or for the complete collection. Please visit the website store for prices and join us on the next conferences to ask questions in person. The plugins can be downloaded on MBS' website as one big package or several smaller ones: https://monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/plugins The online documentation can be found here: https://monkeybreadsoftware.net/ Located in beautiful Nickenich, Germany, MonkeyBread Software is a privately held company founded in 2000 by Christian Schmitz.

Warning about DynaPDFRectMBS height property
by support＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 13 May '26

13 May '26

Hello, Sorry, but I made a mistake. I added a Height property to the DynaPDFRectMBS class in 26.1. After refusing to add it for 10+ years. The calculation there returns the wrong sign, so you may see a negative height. Normally adding a property is no problem. But a lot of people have a method Height using extends to work with DynaPDFRectMBS class. If your code expectes that r.Height calls your own code, then you may be confused seeing the negative height from the property with the same name. A quick solution for yourself is to keep using 26.0 or older plugin, rename your Height method and all places you use it or wait for the updated plugin. Sorry for the inconvenience. The class is fixed for upcoming plugin versions. Best regards, Christian -- Read our blog about news on our plugins: http://www.mbsplugins.de/

Nickenich, Germany - (May 5th, 2026) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 26.2 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 85,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions: Our UIAutomation functions can help you to automate GUI applications on Windows. You can enumerate windows and their controls, read and write properties and react to events like focus changes. The DynaPDF Starter license now includes encryption, from fields and digital signatures. Previously these features were part of the Lite license. You may still need the Lite license level to read existing PDF files. Use DynaPDF parser to inspect the content of a PDF page. We have over 20 DynaPDFParserContentMBS subclasses to inspect the drawing commands and modify some of their properties. When using tables in PDF documents, you can use SetColOrRowSpan function in DynaPDFTableMBS class to merge cells. When using the Foundation Models on macOS, you can query the context size for the model. Use the tokenCount function to query the tokens need for a given text. We improved the search field classes on macOS. The searchFieldDidStartSearching and searchFieldDidEndSearching events in NSSearchFieldControlMBS control help to know when search starts and ends. The searchTextRectForBounds, searchButtonRectForBounds, and cancelButtonRectForBounds events allow you to customize the layout of the search field. By updating the zxing library, we got support for more barcode formats in the ZXingReaderOptionsMBS class. Use FromJSON method in JSONMBS class to convert TOON formatted data to JSON. You can use raw compression mode for ZLibCompressMBS and ZLibDecompressMBS classes. The new events for QLPreviewPanelMBS class lets you react on when the preview panel begins and ends. We added more properties to NSTextAttachmentMBS class. Use NLEmbeddingMBS class to work with embeddings. Finally we updated DynaPDF to version 5.0.1.9, jsoncons to 1.6.0, libarchive to 3.8.7, libexpat to 2.7.5, mongo-c-driver to 2.2.4, openssl to 3.5.6, phidgets, SQLAPI to 5.4.2, Xcode to 26.4 and zxing to version 3.0.2.

[ANN] DynaPDF Starter license extended
by sending＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 04 May '26

04 May '26

Hello, We received notice from DynaForms GmbH, that their DynaPDF products got a change for the DynaPDF Starter license. With DynaPDF version 5.0.1.9, the Starter license includes Encryption, Interactive Forms, and digital signatures. These three features previously required a Lite license. When you create a PDF file from scratch with DynaPDF Starter, you can encrypt the file. We recommend the current 256 Bit AES Encryption. Older encryption standards are also available for compatibility. You may include interactive form elements on the page and pre-fill the fields with values. Use buttons and connect actions to make your form interactive. This may include submit buttons to send the form data to your server as well as JavaScript actions to perform calculations or validations. Add digital signatures to your PDF documents. This may be either a form field where the user can sign the PDF file after filling the form, or alternatively you can sign the PDF directly in your code with a digital certificate and a private key. The lite license is still required for reading existing PDF files and importing pages. Great for merging PDFs or extracting images and text. For details, please check the product feature matrix: DynaPDF Starter vs. Lite vs. Pro vs. Enterprise. DynaPDF is made available for FileMaker and Xojo by Monkeybread Software. You can also use the same licenses with C/C++, C#, Delphi, Lazarus, PHP, VB, VBA, and VB .Net. If you have a expired DynaPDF Starter license, you may need to renew it to benefit from this.
