Nickenich, Germany - (November 12th, 2024) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 24.5 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 82,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions: We provide WebView2ControlMBS control to use the WebView2 control from Microsoft in your Xojo application as an alternative to HTMLViewer control. You can use AddBrowserExtension function to load browser extensions into the control. The IsDocumentPlayingAudio property informs you whether audio is playing and the IsMuted property allows you to mute the audio. The Webkit browser control for macOS and iOS got similar functions to query the media playback state and methods to pause audio. For DynaPDF we have new parser functions to list and then delete images on a PDF page. You can query the color and text alignment and bounding box for annotations. We upgraded the toolbar classes for macOS to include new properties in macOS Sequoia. We add NSMenuToolbarItemMBS, NSSearchToolbarItemMBS and NSTrackingSeparatorToolbarItemMBS classes. These allow you to add a separator tracking, a menu or search toolbar item to your toolbar. On macOS and iOS you can now use the VNDetectDocumentSegmentationRequestMBS class to align and rectify an image. The same feature as used in the VNDocumentCameraScanMBS class, but now available on its own. For macOS Sequoia and the Apple Intelligence features we have new properties and methods for writing tools. Use showWritingTools method to show the tools on a text view. Use isWritingToolsActive to check whether tools are visible and configure options with writingToolsBehavior and allowedWritingToolsResultOptions properties. The textViewWritingToolsWillBegin and textViewWritingToolsDidEnd events inform you when writing tools start and end. We added more properties for ArchiveEntryMBS class, the SQL connection handles the option MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE for MySQL, we added AVVideoCodecTypeJPEGXL for AVFoundationMBS class to use JPEG XL as format, new WordFileMBS methods to read and write metadata in Word files and more events for NSComboBoxControlMBS control. Finally we updated the CURL library to version 8.10.1, discount to 2.2.7d, DynaPDF to 4.0.93.262, jpeg to 9.6, libarchive to 3.7.6, OpenSSL to 3.3.2, SQLite to 3.47.0, libxml2 to 2.13.4, libxslt to 1.1.42 and Xcode to 16.0. See release notes for a complete list of changes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/newinversion245.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. 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.
