Nickenich, Germany - (January 13th, 2026) – Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 26.0 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 3000 classes and 83,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
On macOS and iOS, you can use Apple’s Translation framework to perform fully local, on-device translations. Users must download the required languages in System Settings. Our Translation classes can then start a session with a selected language pair and perform translations directly within your Xojo applications.
We updated the Scintilla control to the current upstream library. This improves compatibility with macOS Tahoe and adds many new properties, constants, and methods.
The CADisplayLinkMBS class provides a timer object that allows your application to synchronize drawing operations with the display’s refresh rate. Our StoreKit2MBSmodule can now initiate refunds for in-app purchases. Use the RequestAgeRange method to ask for the user’s age range and conditionally enable adult-only functionality.
We added two new Saxon examples:
-
Use XSLT transformations to visualize electronic invoices (ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, XRechnung, or EN 16931-1:2017).
-
Use Saxon classes to validate the XML structure of invoices and apply business rules to verify their content.
The XLBookMBS class now includes a SetPassword method, allowing you to open encrypted Excel workbooks by providing a password. LibXL 5.0.1 supports multiple hashing and encryption algorithms.
The JSONMBS class gained new properties to control the characters used for formatted JSON output, including configurable indentation. You can also generate multiple linked barcodes using the StructuredAppend parameter and export them as images.
We reduced the amount of debug information included in the libraries and merged several components. This reduces the total download size by more than 300 MB.
CURL can now display SFTP command paths in debug logging and uses Apple’s SecTrust framework to verify certificates. This replaces the older UseSystemCertificates method.
For NSURLRequestMBS and related classes, we added new properties to control cellular access, ultra-constrained networks, expensive networks, and constrained connections. This allows macOS and iOS to make better decisions about whether your application may use satellite or mobile data connections.
Finally we update the CURL library to version 8.18.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.102.302, GraphicsMagick to 1.3.46, lcms2 to 2.18, LibXL to 5.0.1, mongo-c-driver to 2.2.0, Scintilla to 5.5.8, SQLAPI to 5.4.1, Xcode to 26.1.1 and the Xojo SDK to version 2025r3.
See release notes for a complete list of changes.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
The plug-ins require Xojo 2017 release 3 and newer. While all plug-in parts compile on macOS, Linux and Windows, each function may depend on additional system requirements to work successfully. Only used plugin parts of plugins are added to your application.
Plugin licenses are available for components or for the complete collection. Please visit the website store for prices and join us on the next conferences to ask questions in person.
The plugins can be downloaded on MBS’ website as one big package or several smaller ones Monkeybread Software - Xojo Plugins 26.0
