MonkeyBread Software Releases the MBS Xojo Plugins in version 18.2

Nickenich, Germany (May 22nd, 2018) – Monkeybread Software releases version 18.2 of the MBS plug-in for Xojo.

The MBS plug-in comprises a collection of several plug-in parts which extend the Xojo (Real Studio) development environment with 2,300 classes featuring over 60,000 documented functions. Our plugins support all three platforms Mac OS X, Windows and Linux with all project types desktop, web and console including 64-bit and ARM targets. Some of the highlights on the 18.2 update:

This year we work on a Bluetooth plugin and in this release we start with 16 new classes for the CoreBluetooth.framework from Apple to connect to Bluetooth LE devices on your Mac.

For MacOS, our CanvasGesturesMBS class allows you to generically capture gestures on a canvas. This includes swipe, rotate and magnify gestures and now allows you to use standard Canvas to catch them instead of using a NSViewControlMBS control.

You can now query media libraries using our new MediaLibrary classes. This is 64-bit only, but allows e.g. to query playlists in iTunes.

For CURL, we added over 50 new properties and functions to query information. Our new CURLSSSLBackendMBS class allows to query what backends are available. The new AddMimePart and FinishMime methods and CURLSMimePartMBS class allows better MIME uploading handling. For the properties in CURLSMBS, we optimized storage and got memory usage reduced.

The new CWWiFiClientMBS class allows you to listen for Wifi related events. e.g. you can get notifications for new Wifi networks found.

For Windows, you can now enable spell checking for Xojo’s textarea controls. The new WindowsGUIResourcesMBS class allows to query handle usage for GUI classes to detect running out of handles. With RemoteControlMBS.WinBringProcessToTop method you can bring a whole process to the front.

We got a new JSONMBS.ToHTML function to show JSON to user in a HTMLViewer, printing related functions for WebFrameViewMBS and printing related events for WebUIDelegateMBS class.

The NSURLConnectionFilterMBS class allows you on MacOS to filter connections for NSURLConnection queries. This allows you to set timeout for Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket requests.

Finally we updated CURL to version 7.60.0, DynaPDF to version 4.0.19.50, SQLite to version 3.23.1, SQLAPI to 4.2.2 and use the Xojo 2018r1 plugin SDK.
