Nickenich, Germany - (November 12th, 2024) -- Monkeybread Software today is 
pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 24.5 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 3000 classes and 82,000 documented features, and the 
versatile plugins have gained more new functions:


We provide WebView2ControlMBS control to use the WebView2 control from 
Microsoft in your Xojo application as an alternative to HTMLViewer control. You 
can use AddBrowserExtension function to load browser extensions into the 
control. The IsDocumentPlayingAudio property informs you whether audio is 
playing and the IsMuted property allows you to mute the audio.

The Webkit browser control for macOS and iOS got similar functions to query the 
media playback state and methods to pause audio.

For DynaPDF we have new parser functions to list and then delete images on a 
PDF page. You can query the color and text alignment and bounding box for 
annotations. 

We upgraded the toolbar classes for macOS to include new properties in macOS 
Sequoia. We add NSMenuToolbarItemMBS, NSSearchToolbarItemMBS and 
NSTrackingSeparatorToolbarItemMBS classes. These allow you to add a separator 
tracking, a menu or search toolbar item to your toolbar.

On macOS and iOS you can now use the VNDetectDocumentSegmentationRequestMBS 
class to align and rectify an image. The same feature as used in the 
VNDocumentCameraScanMBS class, but now available on its own.

For macOS Sequoia and the Apple Intelligence features we have new properties 
and methods for writing tools. Use showWritingTools method to show the tools on 
a text view. Use isWritingToolsActive to check whether tools are visible and 
configure options with writingToolsBehavior and 
allowedWritingToolsResultOptions properties. The textViewWritingToolsWillBegin 
and textViewWritingToolsDidEnd events inform you when writing tools start and 
end.

We added more properties for ArchiveEntryMBS class, the SQL connection handles 
the option MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE for MySQL, we added AVVideoCodecTypeJPEGXL 
for AVFoundationMBS class to use JPEG XL as format, new WordFileMBS methods to 
read and write metadata in Word files and more events for NSComboBoxControlMBS 
control.

Finally we updated the CURL library to version 8.10.1, discount to 2.2.7d, 
DynaPDF to 4.0.93.262, jpeg to 9.6, libarchive to 3.7.6, OpenSSL to 3.3.2, 
SQLite to 3.47.0, libxml2 to 2.13.4, libxslt to 1.1.42 and Xcode to 16.0.
