Web is up at new host, email is up, KeyServer is working.
If you cannot connect to either web or to decode your plugins then it might be because, it can take up to 48 hours for the DNS to propagate. (I for example had to switch to Google DNS to get it working right away)
The TypeLib also defines RawBitmap and RawBitmapMask classes that can be used to interact with 3rd party plugins and libraries as well as to avoid inaccuracy of pre-multiplied alpha channels in image processing. Basically what has been done is there is step between the first red box on the picture bellow and the green box which enables us to make better use of the Task unit and for more things than we could before.
The plugin also defines the EinhugurRuntime.Task framework for native threading and async processing of big tasks.
Added CancellationToken class to the EinhugurRuntime module.
Added SetCancellationToken method to the EinhugurRuntime.Task class.
Added BooleanResult property to the EinhugurRuntim.Task class.
Added IntegerResult property to the EinhugurRuntim.Task class.
Added DoubleResult property to the EinhugurRuntim.Task class.
The new CancelationToken is mechanism to be able to cancel tasks when no progress handler makes sense or is not present for any reason. The CancelationToken should work with our existing tasks, but will make more sense to use on new things that is coming in a plugin in the coming week.
The new feature that comes in a plugin in the week will require TypeLib 11.3. So is good to get this update soon.
e-CryptIt Engine plugin for Xojo, version 14.6 is out
e-CryptIt Engine plugin for Xojo is to do Encryption, Encoding, Compression, Hashing, Key-ed hashing and other things.
Important for this version Make sure to have TypeLib 11.3.
New in version 14.6
Added EinhugurBcrypt class.
Added Crypt example project.
BCrypt is for password hashing where you want to defend against brute force attacks. Our implementation is very fast and we had it at 10-12 levels without degrading user experience on even relatively slow system like Raspberry PI 4.
Our implementation also supports EinhugurRuntime.Task if you ever have to deal with hash that is outside of the comfort zone of your hardware then long running async task is how to do it.
Special thanks to Tim Parnell (The Tim that makes the awesome Lifeboat application) for inspiration and quality testing on this update.
e-CryptIt Engine plugin for Xojo, version 15 is out
(Yes yes I know it is kinda strange, 14.6 was out only few days ago ! But the awesome feature in 15.0 had been stuck on problem for long long time which suddenly was resolved, so best to get it out to you all so someone can enjoy it).

PythonS3cript is to script your Xojo applications made with your favorite IDE, Xojo with Python, or to bridge Xojo and Python code. Python3Script in Xojo applications can big door for your Xojo applications to interact with wide range of code that is out there.
(Note this is the Python plugin for Python 3.x not to be confused with our PythonScript plugin which is for Python 2.7.x)
New in Python3Script 3.6:
Added support for Python 3.10.
Added new constant to the PreferredVersionValues enum.
Fixed problem where the Windows segment in the Demo version of the plugin contained some much older version of the plugin.
I am totally ignorant in this area… Can these things be used to implement CFR Part 11 compliant electronic signatures in conjunction with a commercial service so that one could add electronic documents signing (replacing written signatures… NOT signing executables!) to an Xojo app?
Two factor authentication is for when you strengthen the security on for example a web page. So when I log in at Gmail or Facebook for example then I have such enabled. Then I need login and password, and a pin. The pin changes every 30 seconds and is based on shared secret between me and the web page. Then you need authentication App in your phone for example to generate your pin based on the shared secret and current day and time.
Most bigger web pages offer such now. This is basically what 2FA authentication is all about.
The PictureButton plugin control for Xojo is to create more platform consistent Picture-buttons but yet having it work well cross platform.
