Nickenich, Germany - (May 9th, 2023) -- MonkeyBread Software today is pleased to announce
MBS Xojo Plugins 23.2 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 80,000 documented
features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
For Windows we add functions to use the built-in PDF functionality from Microsoft. You can
open PDF documents, query page count and sizes and render preview pictures of pages.
The GraphicsMagick functions got improved to now include WebP support. This includes
reading and writing WebP files, so you can directly upload WebP functions from your CMS
solution to your web server.
For MongoDB we have new functions to convert strings or MemoryBlocks to binary data for
passing to the MongoDB database with DataToBinary function for efficient storage (without
Base64 overhead). The NowUTC function in the MongoClientMBS class returns the current date
in the format needed for MongoDB in JSON and Time can convert time stamps if needed.
We added new delegate based functionality to CURLSMultiMBS class to make it easier to do
asynchronous transfers in the background. For this you can now use our shared instance and
the AutoPerform property.
The ScintillaControlMBS control can now print and show print preview with the new
FormatRange method. You can use it to render text into a picture and set various options
with the new ScintillaRangeToFormatMBS class.
The CanvasGesturesMBS class is updated to work with DesktopCanvas control. The
PHPickerViewControllerMBS class is updated to work on macOS and not just on iOS. We
updated our Java classes for Java versions 19 and 20. The MFPMediaItemMBS class can now
return details on the audio channels, frame rate, bits and samples. The archive classes
can now handle lz4 and zstd compression methods. For Windows you can now control the
printing for WebView2 with the new WebView2PrintSettingsMBS class.
Finally we updated curl to version 8.0.1, LibArchive to 3.6.2, libwebp to 1.3.0, SQLAPI to
5.2.4b3, SQLite to 3.41.2, libXL to 4.1.2, and Xcode to version 14.3.
