Nickenich, Germany - (September 12th, 2023) -- MonkeyBread Software today is pleased to
announce MBS Xojo Plugins 23.4 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 80,000
documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
We updated our SSL support for our MongoDB plugin. We switched to using OpenSSL as the
transport encryption for the MongoDB library for macOS and iOS. The SSLLibrary function
tells you which SSL library is in use. You can use MongoSSLOptionsMBS class to specify SSL
options in addition to putting them into the connection string. To check about possible
reasons for connection problems, we got a new trace logging functionality with Trace
property in MongoClientMBS class. And by regularly calling ping method you can check
whether the connection is alive and keep it open.
For macOS we got a new NSSplitViewControlMBS control and the related NSSplitViewMBS class
to get the native split control into Xojo. You can customize the splitter and decide
between horizontal and vertical layout.
For Windows we rewrote the WindowsPowerStateMBS class. It got a couple of new methods to
register for receiving various events about battery capacity change, lid switch change,
power source change and suspend/resume events for the mobile computer. The Bluetooth LE
classes got updated to support pairing with new WindowsDeviceInformationPairingMBS class.
The WebView2ControlMBS control has new methods to map virtual host names to local
folders.
For iOS we enabled the use of Midi features using MidiClientMBS class. We updated
NSTextListMBS class to work on iOS and improved NSMutableAttributedStringMBS class.
We got new Base32 encoding and decoding functions, the ProcessRelativeURL method for
CURLSMBS class can help to expand relative URLs and we include the BugreporterKit with the
examples. The SerialPortMBS class can open paths to special devices like pipes.
Finally we updated ChartDirector to version 7.1, curl to 8.2.1, DynaPDF to 4.0.77.228,
SQLAPI to 5.2.5 and SQLite to version 3.43.1.
