NSToolbarItem identifiers Must Be Lowercase?
by james＠sentman.com 18 Jan '26

18 Jan '26

Still running Seqoia but recently updated to the latest XoJo and the latest MBS plugins. A couple of my windows were not getting all their custom toolbar buttons. After some messing around it was because I was using capital letters in the itemForIdentifier event of the CustomNSToolbarMBS class. It had worked before because I capitalized it in all the places, but it was no longer working because what was being passed back did not match, even with Xojo’s normal non-case sensitive string comparisons for whatever reason. so in the constructor: itemIdentifiers.Append( “delete”) and in the itemForIdentifier event: select case identifier case “delete" Dim newDeleteItem As New NSToolbarItemMBS( "delete”) … works find but if you do it with the delete capitalized it does not work anymore. In the constructor: itemIdentifiers.Append( “Delete”) and in the itemForIdentifier event: select case identifier case “Delete" Dim newDeleteItem As New NSToolbarItemMBS( “Delete”) … does not work. This is a change from the old behavior so just in case anyone else is wondering where some of their custom toolbar controls went. note that the .label and .paletteLabel properties can be capitalized as needed, this does not effect that.

[ANN] MonkeyBread Software Releases the MBS Xojo Plugins in version 26.0
by support＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 13 Jan '26

13 Jan '26

Nickenich, Germany - (January 13th, 2026) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 26.0 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: On macOS and iOS, you can use Apple’s Translation framework to perform fully local, on-device translations. Users must download the required languages in System Settings. Our Translation classes can then start a session with a selected language pair and perform translations directly within your Xojo applications. We updated the Scintilla control to the current upstream library. This improves compatibility with macOS Tahoe and adds many new properties, constants, and methods. The CADisplayLinkMBS class provides a timer object that allows your application to synchronize drawing operations with the display’s refresh rate. Our StoreKit2MBS module can now initiate refunds for in-app purchases. Use the RequestAgeRange method to ask for the user’s age range and conditionally enable adult-only functionality. We added two new Saxon examples: * Use XSLT transformations to visualize electronic invoices (ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, XRechnung, or EN 16931-1:2017). * Use Saxon classes to validate the XML structure of invoices and apply business rules to verify their content. The XLBookMBS class now includes a SetPassword method, allowing you to open encrypted Excel workbooks by providing a password. LibXL 5.0.1 supports multiple hashing and encryption algorithms. The JSONMBS class gained new properties to control the characters used for formatted JSON output, including configurable indentation. You can also generate multiple linked barcodes using the StructuredAppend parameter and export them as images. We reduced the amount of debug information included in the libraries and merged several components. This reduces the total download size by more than 300 MB. CURL can now display SFTP command paths in debug logging and uses Apple’s SecTrust framework to verify certificates. This replaces the older UseSystemCertificates method. For NSURLRequestMBS and related classes, we added new properties to control cellular access, ultra-constrained networks, expensive networks, and constrained connections. This allows macOS and iOS to make better decisions about whether your application may use satellite or mobile data connections. Finally we update the CURL library to version 8.18.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.102.302, GraphicsMagick to 1.3.46, lcms2 to 2.18, LibXL to 5.0.1, mongo-c-driver to 2.2.0, Scintilla to 5.5.8, SQLAPI to 5.4.1, Xcode to 26.1.1 and the Xojo SDK to version 2025r3. See release notes for a complete list of changes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/newinversion260.shtml 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.shtml 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.

Anyone still uses 32-bit Linux on Intel?
by support＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

Hello everyone, Is there still anyone building apps for 32-bit Intel targets? I’d assume all web servers are 64-bit nowadays. And if you run an older Raspberry Pi, it would be ARM, not Intel. If nobody uses it, we don't need to build all plugins for it. Greetings Christian — See you at the [Full Access] 2026 August 24th – 27th 2026 in Pacific Grove, California https://fullaccess.us

[ANN] Three weeks till year's end
by support＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 10 Dec '25

Hello everyone, The year 2025 will end in less than three weeks. Do you need some more licenses? * You can order licenses for 2026 or later and have invoice, delivery and payment done in 2025. This way you secure the current pricing and the possibility to keep upgradeability for older licenses. * And of course you can order updates for several years in advance for all your MBS products. * As all our Xojo and DynaPDF plugin licenses are per developer, you should check if you got a new developer in your team this year and adjust licenses to match team size. * For LibXL you can check if you like to upgrade from individual developer licenses to the Enterprise level. We can assist and may apply a special upgrade price. Especially if you run on a budget and you want to spend some money in the old year, you can buy updates for several years in advance. If you need help to decide what Xojo or plugin license you need, we may be able to assist you. Sincerely Christian -- Read our blog about news on our plugins: http://www.mbsplugins.de/
