Nickenich, Germany - (November 18th, 2025) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 25.5 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: For macOS 26 and iOS 26 you can use our FoundationModels classes to use Apple's on-device LLM within your Xojo applications. Use SystemLanguageModelsMBS class to check whether the model is available and initialize a session with LanguageModelSessionsMBS class. You may use the model for chatting, summarization, translation and more. In your cross platform projects you can use the open source Llama library to run large language models within your Xojo application. Load a model with LlamaModelMBS class and then create a context with LlamaContextMBS class and ask it with a prompt. Use NSSymbolEffectMBS class and subclasses to have animated symbols in the user interface. We have classes for transitions and effect options. You can add symbol effects to NSImageView controls. You can use symbol configuration for a NSButtonMBS based control. When running JavaScript with macOS, you can create a group of contexts with JSContextGroupMBS class. Then create contexts within that group, so they can share data. For CURL we added a NetworkChanged method to CURLSMultiMBS class to inform CURL about a network change. The new properties for transfers allow you to know how many transfers are currently running, pending, added or done. Secure Transport was removed in favor of OpenSSL and CURLN* and CURL* classes are now subclasses for CURLS* classes to help transition to the CURLS classes. We upgraded several classes. The WiringPiMBS module, the NSImageViewMBS, X509MBS, CGImageSourceMBS and CGImageDestinationMBS classes all go many new properties and methods for additional features. For Windows using WebView2 control you can now set what preferred color scheme to use. You can query the directory path for the current profile and set the default download folder. We extend our DynaPDFParserMBS class to provide details on the content of a page. You can delete individual things on a PDF page like images or text pieces. The USBSerialNumberMBS method on a folderitem provides the serial number for an USB stick on macOS. Same can be done with WMI classes on Windows. We got new UUIDv7 functions for UUIDMBS class, the ChartDirector plugin got Windows ARM 64 bit support and you can show the manage subscriptions dialog in StoreKit2. The QLPreviewControllerMBS can now show item with custom title, the CSProfileMBS class can wait for getting all the installed profiles and the WindowsWMIMBS works better with Windows security. Finally we updated the CURL library to version 8.16.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.102.299, expat to 2.7.3, jsoncons to 1.4.3, libarchive to 3.8.2, OpenSSL to 3.5.2, Saxon to 12.9, Xcode to 26.0 and WiringPi to 3.1.6. See release notes for a complete list of changes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/newinversion255.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.

[ANN] MonkeyBread Software Releases the MBS Xojo Plugins in version 25.4

Nickenich, Germany - (September 9th, 2025) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 25.4 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: Since C++ compilers support 128-bit integers, we added these as classes for Xojo: Use Int128MBS and UInt128MBS classes to calculate with huge numbers. If you need even more digits, check the LargeNumberMBS and BigNumberMBS classes. For macOS and iOS we started working on support for the StoreKit 2 framework from Apple to integrate it into Xojo. For this we add StoreKit2MBS module with all the methods. We bridge from the Swift based framework to C++ plugin code to Xojo with a modern implementation using asynchronous callbacks via delegates. Once implemented in your application on the Apple App Store, you can process in-app purchases. The older Store Kit classes continue to work fine. We updated our WebView2ControlMBS for Windows to handle favorite icons. Use the FaviconURI property to learn what is the current URL for the favorite icon. Implement the FaviconChanged event to learn when the website changes and a new icon is available. Use GetFavicon method to asynchronously load the icon to display. When running under macOS on an Apple Silicon based Mac, you can use MacProductSOCName and MacProductName methods in SystemInformationMBS module to query the product name and the system-on-chip name. For our MBS Xojo SQL Plugin, we got OLEDB: as a new prefix for SQLDatabaseMBS class. This allows you to pick the OLEDB connection type for Microsoft SQL Server directly. For SQLConnectionMBS class, please use the kOLEDBClient constant here. Alternatively you can still connect to SQL Server using the kSQLServerClient or SQLServer: prefix. With ODBC, OLEDB and native SQL Server interface, we have three ways to connect to your Microsoft SQL Server. For WMI queries, we updated the WMIObjectMBS class. Use the new functions to query properties with arrays directly. Previously we could only read array properties with strings. The SetupAWS method in CURLSMBS class can handle COPY and MOVE verbs to move or copy objects in AWS S3, we added beginAppearanceTransition and endAppearanceTransition methods to UIViewControllerMBS class for iOS. We added recursion limit for PythonMBS class, a SkipDeletedText property for WordFileMBS class and a performChangesAndWait method for PHPhotoLibraryMBS to may changes synchronously. Finally we updated DynaPDF to version 4.0.102.295, SQLAPI to version 5.4.0 and SQLite to version 3.50.4. See release notes for a complete list of changes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/newinversion254.shtml If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. 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.
