I built version 12. Milestone 1 for the fpPlugin from Bob Delaney
Plugin download link
https://www.einhugur.com/Downloads/Plugs/fpPlugin.zip
Milestone one has:
-
Windows 32 bit
-
Windows 64 bit
-
Windows ARM 64 ready (even if Xojo not ready yet)
-
macOS Intel 64 bit
-
macOS Apple Silicon
-
A big number of memory leak fixes.
Auto generated documentation to show the syntax. (Am not sure his Global methods made it through there since Xojo frowned on those for long time so my Documentation tools don’t really know them, will revisit that later,).
Left to do (at least) before 12.0 final can come out:
- macOS legacy 32 bit build.
- iOS Build
- iOS Simulator build.
- Linux 32 bit build.
- Linux 64 bit build.
- Linux ARM 32 build.
Link to the open source repo:
https://bitbucket.org/einhugur/fpplugin/src/master/
The work on this plugin is supposed to be community deed, and the plugin is open source and completely free.

Other things:
I just realized this morning that there are two Matrix plugins, the one I had started salvaging was Matrix Plugin, but I will also salvage the Complex Matrix plugin (I know someone is waiting for that one). So I will probably slow the Effort on the Matrix plugin to get the Complex Matrix plugin started earlier.
Documentation, If someone knows some parts of the Bob’s plugins well and wants to fill out the documentation for that portion then let me know. I have no deep knowledge of his objects to be able to offer anything more than Auto generated documentation to show the syntax.

Speedy Björn strikes again ! 
btw, I’m not aware of evrything, but @Dana_Brown, why Björn is not labelled as mvp in the forum, for the many years of making xojo plugins

I built version 6. Prerelease 1 for the ComplexMatrix Plugin from Bob Delaney
Plugin download link
https://www.einhugur.com/Downloads/Plugs/ComplexMatrixPlugin.zip
6.0 Prerelease 1 has:
- macOS Intel 64 bit
- macOS Apple Silicon
- Windows 32 bit
- Windows 64 bit
Pre-release 1 also corrected over some warnings and some memory issues.
Auto generated documentation to show the syntax. (Am not sure his Global methods made it through there since Xojo frowned on those for long time so my Documentation tools don’t really know them, will revisit that later,).
Left to do (at least) before 6.0 final can come out:
- Linux 32 bit
- Linux 64 bit
- Linux Arm 32 bit
- Add iOS build.
- Add iOS Simulator build.
- Add macOS legacy 32 bit build.
- Tackle a lot more warnings.
- Tackle more memory leaks.
- Tackle memory clobbering issues do to legacy types.
- Change syntax, so that no functions are in Global namespace. (Xojo has not allowed this for ever a decade,
having things work still is not good input for the future lifetime of the plugin). - Put classes in namespace. (We really do not want to eat up namespace for common words like Matrix and Complex, so we will likely add the plugin name as namespace).

Complex Matrix plugin 6.0 final is out
You can find it in the open source section of the Einhugur web page:
https://einhugur.com/Html/opensource.html
ComplexMatrix Plugin is fork of Bob Delanay’s ComplexMatrix Plugin for Xojo.
We set up this project as community deed to ensure Bob’s work does not get lost and that it can work on future Xojo versions and OS’s.
Bob licensed his work as follows: *I am releasing fp Plugin without a restrictive license. It is unconditionally available for any use, but is without warranty.
The new plugin works on:
- macOS Intel 32 bit
- macOS Intel 64 bit
- macOS Apple Silicon
- Windows 32 bit
- Windows 64 bit
- Linux Intel 32 bit
- Linux Intel 64 bit
- Linux Arm 32 bit
- iOS
- iOS Simulator (Intel and Apple Silicon)
The plugin is kept free for everyone and the source code is open.
New in the Einhugur version of the plugin:
- Added Apple Silicon build.
- Added iOS build.
- Added Linux Arm32 build.
- Refactored much of the plugin fixing many memory leaks, memory clobbering and lesser issues such as warnings.
- Refactored Plugin syntax to migrate away from the forbidden global namespace and to avoid hard to track bugs when types are auto casted and you do not know if plugin Global method got called or Xojo method.
- Auto generated documentation to show the syntax.
I know many in the Xojo community are tired of syntax changes. But there was no way I was going to put all this work into this and keeping it with deprecated and frowned on Global methods that were deprecated 10-15 years ago, keeping it liability. And there were also cases where some of them caused issues in mixing with Xojo’s methods.
Other notes
I cleaned up and fixed as much as I could, memory leaks, memory clobbering due to incorrect use of Xojo API, warnings, so this project can also help people as reference when making plugins.
On Windows build there was 1 warning left…This warning is actual error, but the intent of what how it was supposed to work is not clear so it cannot be fixed without knowing more.
On macOS there are still 40 warnings, left, I was just to exhausted to work more on it. I know though at least 2 of those warnings are actual errors. Where the intent of how it should have been could be hard to know.
Errors, memory leaks and memory clobbering were largely found by unwinding the massive amount of warnings then issues present them self’s, once your no longer immune to looking at the warnings due to high number of them.

I’m always impressed by your dedication to not only your customers, but other users in general.
Your plug-ins are a MUST BUY for any Xojo user interested in cross-platform apps, but even if you develop for just one platform getting them is a no-brainer.
MBS might be much bigger, but it is more Mac centric than cross-platform and more expensive.

fpPlugin 12.0 final is out
You can find it in the open source section of the Einhugur web page:
https://einhugur.com/Html/opensource.html
fpPlugin is fork of Bob Delanay’s fpPlugin for Xojo. We have modernized, fixed bugs and added platforms to the plugin.
We set up this project as community deed to ensure Bob’s work does not get lost and that it can work on future Xojo versions and OS’s.
Bob licensed his work as follows: *I am releasing fp Plugin without a restrictive license. It is unconditionally available for any use, but is without warranty.
The new plugin works on:
- macOS Intel 32 bit
- macOS Intel 64 bit
- macOS Apple Silicon
- Windows 32 bit
- Windows 64 bit
- Linux Intel 32 bit
- Linux Intel 64 bit
- Linux Arm 32 bit
- iOS
- iOS Simulator (Intel and Apple Silicon)
The plugin is kept free for everyone and the source code is open.
New in the Einhugur version of the plugin:
- First version that Einhugur builds.
- Fixed many memory leaks around string handling.
- Fixed many memory leaks around Exception handling,.
- Apple Silicon build now works.
- Added iOS Build.
- Added Linux Arm32 build.
- Added auto-generated documentation to show the syntax. (Platform info on global methods is incorrect in the docs. Did not want to spend time filling that out since global methods will be re-factored out soon)
I ran a bit out of time for now so I did not do perfect refactoring and fixing like in the other plugin (Only did partial).
So remaining things will have to wait until version 13. or in incremental releases between 12 and 13.
Issues that will be targeted later at version 13, or in incremental releases:
