Hi, * Updated to Xcode 15.1. * Fixed issue with RowSet iterator to not skip first row. * Fixed an issue with MoveFirst in our SQL cursor. * Updated Visual Studio to version 2022. * Disabled old tesseract 3 for Windows ARM 64-bit as that doesn't compile currently. * Updated Google AdMob SDK to version 10.14. You may need to adjust your project. * Removed tagForUnderAgeOfConsent and tagForChildDirectedTreatment methods in GADRequestConfigurationMBS class. * Added tagForUnderAgeOfConsent and tagForChildDirectedTreatment properties for GADRequestConfigurationMBS class. * Added new classes for consent dialog: UMPRequestParametersMBS, UMPDebugSettingsMBS, UMPConsentInformationMBS and UMPConsentFormMBS. * Added new loadWithAdUnitID method to GADAppOpenAdMBS class. * Added automatic rerun of SQL SELECT if you call MoveFirst on a RowSet/RecordSet, which doesn't support moving because it is not cached or scrollable. * Added checks for SQL Plugin in multiple places to avoid crashes if SQL command text is empty.

[ANN] Three weeks till year's end
by Christian Schmitz 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

Hello, The year 2023 will end in less than three weeks. Do you need some more licenses? * You can order licenses for 2024 or later and have invoice, delivery and payment done in 2023. 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/

AuthorizationMBS
by Lee Badham 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

Hi, I've been using AuthorizationMBS with success in some areas, but I've noticed that a command I'm running doesn't run. Code is similar to this: dim a as new authorizationMBS if a.SimpleNewAuthorization then a.execute("/bin/launchctl",array("unload","/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bodoni.server.plist") if a.lasterror<>0 then break end if Although there's no error shown, the service does not stop. This works from the terminal: sudo launchctl unload Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bodoni.server.plist I can't see anything in the console log that might suggest what's wrong. This is from the console log. AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges and AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivilegesExternalForm are deprecated and functionality will be removed soon - please update your application I've tried a couple of variations, with and without /bin in the path and various launchctl subcommands such as disable, kill. Regards, Lee

Since you use it via for each loops indirectly, you never need to use these classes directly. * Changed CallDelegateOnMainThreadMBS delegates to be hidden for auto complete. * Fixed GetDelegateParametersMBS, GetDelegateTargetMBS and GetDelegateWeakMBS functions to work better in newer Xojo versions. * Fixed an endless loop in JSONMBS class when running Search function with a bad query.

Download at https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/download/plugin/Prerelease/ or ask for being added to the DropBox shared folder. Please also go to the Xojo forum and setup "Watching First Post" for the add-on category, so you get an email when I start my pre-release topic. Then once you see that, please put the topic on watching, so you get an email for every new posting from me. https://forum.xojo.com/c/add-ons/17 Best regards, Christian -- Read our blog about news on our plugins: http://www.mbsplugins.de/

Nickenich, Germany - (November 7th, 2023) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 23.5 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 80,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions: We rewrote JSONMBS class to use a newer C++ library. The new class should be faster, add modern features and interface compatible to JSONItem and our older JSONMBS class. Use Search function to perform JMESPath queries in Xojo. Use Query to find data and Replace functions to replace found nodes with new JSON values. Use Flatten JSON to process a hierarchy in keys and values, filter entries and Unflatten back to original JSON. DynaPDF got updated to create PDF/A 4, 4e and 4f PDF files. New constants allow you to set this version and CheckConformance can convert a PDF to PDF/A 4 level. Iterate over various items in the DynaPDF with DynaPDFIteratorMBS in for each loops. The orientation property in DynaPDFPageMBS class became settable and we added CreateGeospatialMeasure method. For macOS Sonoma we added support for reaction effects on macOS 14 and iOS 17. The AVCaptureReactionEffectStateMBS class allows to check state for effects. Methods in AVCaptureDeviceMBS class can check for available effects and trigger them by code. In Sonoma, you can use new methods on NSMenuMBS and NSMenuItemMBS for palette menus and section headers. If you use MapKit or SceneKit in iOS with our MapKitIOSControlMBS and SCNIOSControlMBS controls, you can now enjoy touch events and react on them using our new NSTouchMBS class. We updated ChartDirector plugin to have more classes and methods to work on iOS including CDTreeMapNodeMBS class. Our linux libraries are built with fortified source checks for libc to be more secure. We removed dependency on GLIBC_2.25, so you can use our plugin once again on Xojo Cloud. For Windows we removed the VS 2019 runtime library dependency for the XML Plugin (and others). The RemoteControlMBS module got methods to check for caps-lock, num-lock and scroll-lock keyboard states. We added MongoDB Watch Changes example project to show MongoChangeStreamMBS class, added RowsAffected property to SQLConnectionMBS and SQLDatabaseMBS classes, added renameNode and adoptNode methods to XMLDocumentMBS class, CSIdentityMBS got debugger friendlier with the properties and we include UpdaterKit within the examples. Finally we updated CURL library to version 8.4.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.80.232, SQLAPI to 5.2.6 and SQLite to 3.44.0 and Xcode to version 15.0. See release notes for a complete list of changes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.com/xojo/newinversion235.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://www.monkeybreadsoftware.com/xojo/plugins.shtml The online documentation can be found here: https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.net/ Located in beautiful Nickenich, Germany, MonkeyBread Software is a privately held company founded in 2000 by Christian Schmitz.
