Could you please check DeclareLibrary on Windows again, Christian? I had to revert Utils to 24.5 because of weird crashes with the PR, creating a window being stuck on opening – no controls visible. The library object being Nil after folder item based constructor.

Is it right that these constants are now removed?

CURLSMBS.kError_HTTP_POST_ERROR '34
CURLSMBS.kError_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND '41

Also there is an MBS plugin 24.6pr5 available to download - should we use this?

17

Yes, these were removed in CURL as they haven’t been used in a long time.
And yes, I forgot to post here about new pre-release.

Fom the documentation:

Var Available As Boolean = NSApplicationMBS.WritingToolsAvailable

doesn’t compile. Xojo says NSApplicationMBS.WritingToolsAvailable doesn’t exist. I checked the plugins, and MBS Xojo MacCocoa is from build 24.6 (build 21178).

Sorry, a flag was incorrectly set.
