Their not required for all. Many need TypeLib, only one needs TypeLibF (as far as I remember) and maybe 2 are using CoreClasses.
Björn doesn’t mention it here, but I believe that, of these, he includes whatever is needed with each download. You should find them right alongside the .ecr of the plugin itself. You do not need to download them separately.

The question wasn’t about the dependencies… too much off topic.
As mentioned above, these ARE already included, in the downloads of the plugins that need them. 
There is no need to mention this again, we use the plugins for years and unpack them manually so we know what’s in them…
Thanks anyway.
Well, you knew, but you asked anyway.

Okay, I do understand that you’re asking that Björn put out regular monolithic releases like Christian does. As another customer, I like getting individual updates of the plugins I use most, as they come out. It is just up to me to stay on top on his announcements, to update them as needed.
Your suggestion isn’t a bad one. But Björn would have to decide whether to do both.

If there is interest in the following then I will release it in our Free plugin TypeLib, as gift to the community (as early as on the weekend).
#Pragma DisableBackgroundTasks
#Pragma DisableBoundsChecking
var timing as Int64 = System.Ticks
var sb as new EinhugurStringBuffer(Encodings.UTF8)
for i as Integer = 1 to 1000000. // 20 Ticks
sb.Add("Björn")
sb.Add(" ")
sb.Add("Eiríksson")
next
var result as String = sb.Value
MessageBox Str(System.Ticks - timing)
MessageBox result.Length.ToString() // We just have this to make sure the loop does not get optimized out of the code
#Pragma DisableBackgroundTasks
#Pragma DisableBoundsChecking
var timing as Int64 = System.Ticks
var result as String
for i as Integer = 1 to 100000 // 403 ticks for much fewer rounds. // Could not get 1000000 rounds to finish at all
result = result + "Björn"
result = result + " "
result = result + "Eiríksson"
next
MessageBox Str(System.Ticks - timing)
MessageBox result.Length.ToString() // We just have this to make sure the loop does not get optimized out of the code
The Xojo string add we had to feed much fewer round to that one since I could not get it to finish 1000000 at all. And if I fed less to the EinhugurStringBuffer then I just got zero ticks.
Its not been stress tested a lot but hopefully the community will find ways to put it under load.
Best case for speed is when its all the same encoding but it does support mixed encodings, but will take speed hit from it.

Certainly easier than writing Xojo MemoryBlock based code!
With MemoryBlocks I think the size of the initial size of the MemoryBlock and how big the chunks added when needed are, would have a significant impact on speed.
Does your class allow setting of the initial buffer size and the increments or does it work in a different manner than one would do it with MemoryBlocks in Xojo code?
-Karen
It works very differently, there is no buffer.
When you call the value property in the end then it knows how long the string will be. And will allocate exactly what it needs.
With that said then its of course best to call the Value property only once ! Since that is where the work happens.
It basically create strategy map as you add the strings but does nothing else with them at that point in time. Strategy changes depending on what you feed it. Like mixed encodings would affect it.
Given the bottleneck string concatenations can be in Xojo because of immutability for some applications, this type of functionality should be built into the framework IMO!
That class would certainly be a welcome addition!

That is what our StringHandleMBS class would do.
Also a join() of an array of string may also do it.
