[ANN] MonkeyBread Software Releases the MBS Xojo Plugins in version 26.2
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.
