Sounds great! Which framework does it use?
Its using Pugi.
Pugi is very fast and good at XPath. But is a mini framework. (So does not do schema validations).
I used Pugi in the Word Plugin also. And have been meaning to make Plugin for it ever since. And now I regret not having done this before making the Word plugin since I learned so much by making this which would have made many things in the Word plugin so much easier to do.

Gpiod Plugin 0.7 is out.
This plugin is a wrapper for libgpiod from: libgpiod/libgpiod.git - C library and tools for interacting with the linux GPIO character device
This plugin is part of our community effort project so the plugin is completely free and open source.

All example projects have been tested with Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 (and I know a user has tested at least one example project on Raspberry Pi 5).
The plugin deals with async operations in native threads masking the difficult things to do in Xojo.

Einhugur macOS Bridge plugin 4.7.2 for Xojo is out
Einhugur macOS Bridge
Einhugur macOS Bridge is a plugin to make it easier to use some macOS Native objects and interface with them using Xojo objects, Einhugur Plugin objects such as RawBitmap, declares and 3rd party plugins.
The macOS native objects have been simplified and adapted to make using them from Xojo very easy.
For Example then macOS file Icon for any file or file type can be obtained in just one line of code, and can then be either drawn in one line into Xojo Graphics or converted to Xojo picture object in one line of code.
The macOS Bridge plugin can help you set up Touch-bar support in your applications. And supports customization mode for it.
(Touch bar in the picture above shown in Touch Bar simulator)
Alert with destructive action on macOS Big Sur
Simple task manager created with NSRunningApplication class
New in version 4.7.2:

@Björn_Eiríksson I don’t see the last couple of updates in Plugins Pro. Do you have to update something else for updates to appear there?
To simplify the update process on the Desktop side, when you want to check for updates from everyone Plugins Pro connects once: to my server. My server will fetch the latest versions all the vendor’s feeds once every 24 hours. So, unless someone pokes me, the cron script runs once every 24 hours.
I’ve just run the sever update script, so you should see the update in Plugins Pro now.
