Nickenich, Germany - (January 19th, 2021) -- MonkeyBread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 21.0 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 2800 classes and 72,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
In this release we include plugins for iOS and Apple Silicon. All plugins have been compiled for the new CPU type from Apple. Over 300 plugin parts are ported for iOS and work well. We created a few new example projects for iOS, but usually you can copy & paste code from desktop to iOS projects. We start with new iOS controls for SceneKit (SCNIOSControlMBS), MapKit (MapKitIOSControlMBS) and WebKit (WKWebViewIOSControlMBS). Those iOS controls are nearly identical to the Mac desktop controls, except they now work on iOS. For macOS the new NSCollectionViewControlMBS control provides access to Apple's implementation of a collection view. This is the control used in applications like Photos or Finder to show a grid of files or photos. You can use container controls in Xojo to provide the views. The control comes with 10 more classes like NSCollectionViewMBS class. On Windows you can report errors with WindowsReportErrorMBS class to the Windows error log. For WebView2 you can run JavaScript synchronously with ExecuteScriptSync in our WebView2ControlMBS control. The WindowsExecuteMBS function can now minimize the new application you call with ShowWindow parameter. We updated IEDocumentMBS and IEWindowMBS classes to allow you to query frames content. For DirectShow we added more methods to our DirectShowPinMBS class. On macOS you can run can now manage the contextual menu with new events in WKWebViewControlMBS control. For AVFoundation's AVAudioEngineMBS class we added functions for manual rendering, so you can convert audio files without playing them in real time, but faster. DynaPDF got updated to newer version and this includes the new GetTypoLeading method. The DynaPDFMBS class now counts errors and warnings, so you can check on the end whether an error happened in-between. We let you pass leading parameter (line spacing) for converting styled text from TextArea or StyledText class to DynaPDF syntax. The MemoryBlock class got new bit set functions. The MarkDown functions now handle foot notes. The FileMappingMBS class can now handle shared memory views with over 2 GB in size for 64-bit systems. The HTMLToPlainText function in MimeEmailMBS class is improved to better convert HTML to text. Finally we updated SQLite library to version 3.34.0, curl to 7.74.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.46.132, SQLAPI to 5.1.3 and Xcode to version 12.3.
