We have a new plugin for RabbitMQ. This is an open-source project implementing a message-broker software. It’s a server software to do message queues and then there are various clients available to use the services. Our plugin wraps the library for Xojo and includes OpenSSL for encrypted connections.
For our AVFoundation Plugin we added AVCaptureMetadataOutputMBS class, which allows you to scan barcodes with the camera on an iOS device. For iOS we got an example on how to use Keychain database to store passwords securely.
Our JavaScriptEngineMBS class can use InitModules method to define modules in JavaScript, which can then be referenced later with require.

For SQL Plugin we got support in SQLite for ICU libraries and we enabled math and geopoly functions in our internal SQLite library.
We added new properties to NSSharingServiceMBS class, so you can for example pass styled text via NSAttributedStringMBS class to Apple Mail and get a formatted text in the email.
For Windows we got classes for spell checking. Use WinSpellCheckerMBS class to find available languages, pick one and check for spelling errors in a given text.
Our plugins now include universal library for iOS Simulator for Xojo 2021r1.1. We got a CopyCellValue function for XLSheetMBS class class to copy cell values within a sheet. We upgraded our ShellMBS and WindowsProcessMBS classes for Windows to allow PowerShell.exe to run with them.
