Nickenich, Germany - (September 17th, 2024) -- Monkeybread Software today is 
pleased to announce MBS Plugin 14.4 for Claris FileMaker for macOS, iOS, Linux 
and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most 
powerful plugin currently available for Claris FileMaker produce line. As the 
leading database management solution for Windows, macOS, iOS and the web, the 
Claris FileMaker Pro Integrated Development Environment supports a plugin 
architecture that can easily extend the feature set of the application. MBS 
FileMaker Plugin 14.4 has been updated and now includes over 7400 different 
functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions:


We got a few convenience functions to do database operations and pass record 
data as JSON. Use JSON.InsertRecord to create a new record and pass values for 
fields as JSON. Our plugin will detect the field types and correctly handles 
number, date, time and timestamp fields. 

You can update a record with the JSON.UpdateRecord function and provide the new 
field values as well as the primary key to find the record. Use 
JSON.UpdateRecords to update multiple records. The JSON.InsertOrUpdateRecord 
function goes a step further and updates an existing record. If none exists, it 
creates a new record. And finally you can delete one record with 
JSON.DeleteRecord function or multiple with JSON.DeleteRecords function. 

The tidy library allows us to cleanup and repair both XML and HTML. The 
XML.Tidy function fixes XML. And Text.Tidy function can do HTML, too. If you 
need to parse HTML, please use Text.HTMLtoJSON function to convert HTML to JSON 
and then process the JSON.

Use DynaPDF.CreateExtGState to create a new extend graphics state and activate 
it with DynaPDF.SetExtGState function to use transparency in vector graphics, 
control overprint and rendering intent. We can create URL actions to have a 
button open an URL. You can query encryption information for a file and test 
whether a password is valid.

We added MongoDB.CursorRecords to query the JSON for all found records. The 
MongoDB.ReplaceOne function takes options and we improved the MongoDB logging.

On macOS you can use Command-Option-Shift-F shortcut in layout editor to jump 
to the object search field. With SyntaxColoring.AutoCompleteVariables.SetLocals 
you can set a list of variables to always show up in auto complete. And the 
dialog to specify a field shows the field type in a tooltip.

The XL functions can now remove printer settings and VBA scripts from an Excel 
document. Use FM.FieldStatistics function to query size statistics for a field 
in a table over all records. The Python.RunFile function allows to run a Python 
script from disk.

Finally we updated CURL to version 8.10.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.92.261, LibXL to 
4.4.0, openssl to 3.1.6, SQLAPI to 5.3.4 with DuckDB 1.0 support and SQLite to 
version 3.46.1.
