Nickenich, Germany - (November 12th, 2019) -- MonkeyBread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 19.5 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 2600 classes and 65,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
We support over 12 years of Xojo versions from 2006r4 to the latest 2019r2 release. Older Real Studio plugins are still available on request. Our SQL Plugin got updated to support newer API 2.0 calls with ExecuteSQL and SelectSQL methods and using RowSet class. We continue to provide the older APIs for use in older and current Xojo versions. To mitigate switching between versions we even provide NativePath for Real Studio and AbsolutePath for Xojo 2019r2 via plugin. For Windows we developed a replacement for the IPCSocket class in Xojo. With our WindowsPipeMBS class you can create named pipes and exchange data between two processes without going through the network stack (and firewall) and without going through the file system. We even include methods to allow connectivity between a service running in the background and an user application on the desktop. The classes for JPEG and PNG handling got a major upgrade. We now include JPEG Turbo library. Once activated, you can speed up JPEG compression and decompression by factor 2 to 5 (in our testing). For PNG, JPEG and TIFF classes you can now pass file paths as string instead of FolderItem. PNGReaderMBS class got options to strip or invert alpha channel, read gray images to memoryblock without expanding them to RGB or convert RGB to grayscale images. We now use SQLAPI in version 5, so a couple of things changed on the SQL Plugin. As each connection can now decide which client library to use, you can now decide per connection whether you use built-in libraries for SQLite, CubeSQL or PostgreSQL or your own library. We offer many database specific commands directly on the relevant SQL connection or command classes. For API 2.0 you can now query RowSet for SQLCommandMBS objects. For CubeSQL we have SendData and ReceiveData methods to send and receive files. SQLPreparedStatementMBS class is updated for changes in Xojo 2019r2.1. Due to changes in variant handling, use of datetime class and SQLPreparedStatement changes, we highly recommend this update to everyone using Xojo 2019r2 or the upcoming 2019r2.1 version. Changes in the implementation of various functions moving from older to newer APIs make this release a recommended update for everyone targeting MacOS Catalina. For our WebKit 2.x browser implementation in WKWebViewControlMBS control we now support private browsing. The new WKUserScriptMBS class allows you to add custom user scripts to each website. We updated ResourceForkMBS class to work on 64-bit MacOS target and added 64-bit Linux support for Rockey2 dongles. Our DynaPDF classes got new methods to handle XFA streams. With ClearStringContentMBS method you can now clear the content of a string to not leak passwords in memory. The map views shown by the plugin can now programmatically change the zoom level. Finally we updated DynaPDF library to version 4.0.33.95, LibSSH to 1.9.0, openssl to 1.1.1d, plugin SDK to Xojo 2019r2, Rockey 2 SDK to v2.201r10, V1.41 for Linux, V1.21 for Mac, SQLAPI to version 5.0.1, SQLite to version 3.30.0, zint library to 2.6.7.

More details in the release notes. Please take the time to check our 2100 example project and check where you can use our plugin features in your applications. The plug-ins require Xojo. Also required are 1 GB hard disc space and around 1 GB of RAM in addition to the requirements of Xojo and your operation system itself. While all plug-in parts compile on macOS, Linux and Windows, each function may depend on additional system requirements to work successfully.
