GraffitiSuite Release 53
GraffitiSuite is pleased to announce Release 53 for Xojo Desktop, Mobile, and Web!
Release Statistics :
6 New Classes or Products 34 Additions
55 Bug Fixes
6 Various Changes
Mobile Edition : Release 53 continues the recent theme of expanding the Mobile (iOS) toolset with the addition of GraffitiTagField and GraffitiW3W! GraffitiTagField is a truly powerful multiple value selection component built from the ground up to look and function exceptionally well on small form factor devices as well as the biggest tablet you can imagine. GraffitiW3W, meanwhile, is a transplant from Desktop and Web that allows you to use the What3Words API to translate latitude and longitude coordinates to sets of three easy-to-remember words and back again!
Desktop Edition : Desktop Edition didn't need a great deal of work this time around, but it did receive some powerful new controls. GraffitiScrollableArea is a control that's built entirely to make dealing with varying sizes of UIs easier to build. Embed a container, size it however you like, and you instantly have a scrolling view dedicated to that container! And let's not forget GraffitiSplitView, which also came to Desktop Edition in this release. No more fighting with parenting controls to get a splitter control to function correctly. You place a GraffitiSplitView, give it two new DesktopContainer instances to manage, and you're ready to go!
Web Edition : Web Edition was the bulk of this release. There's a lot here to be happy about, from general bug fixes to memory leaks and beyond with new tools. GraffitiDateTimePickerRange has been rebuilt in this release to provide a more modern UI and selection experience using only a single dropdown. We also brought GraffitiSplitView to Web with, more or less, the same API as Desktop and Mobile to make your multi-platform applications just a bit easier to build. Additionally, there are far too many additions and fixes to discuss at length, but this may be one of the best GraffitiSuite releases to-date in terms of Web performance.Product: GraffitiSuite

Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 23.5 for macOS, Linux and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin collection currently available for Xojo. MBS Xojo Plugins have been updated and now includes over 3000 classes and 80,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
We rewrote JSONMBS class to use a newer C++ library. The new class should be faster, add modern features and interface compatible to JSONItem and our older JSONMBS class. Use Search function to perform JMESPath queries in Xojo. Use Query to find data and Replace functions to replace found nodes with new JSON values. Use Flatten JSON to process a hierarchy in keys and values, filter entries and Unflatten back to original JSON.
DynaPDF got updated to create PDF/A 4, 4e and 4f PDF files. New constants allow you to set this version and CheckConformance can convert a PDF to PDF/A 4 level. Iterate over various items in the DynaPDF with DynaPDFIteratorMBS in for each loops. The orientation property in DynaPDFPageMBS class became settable and we added CreateGeospatialMeasure method.
For macOS Sonoma we added support for reaction effects on macOS 14 and iOS 17. The AVCaptureReactionEffectStateMBS class allows to check state for effects. Methods in AVCaptureDeviceMBS class can check for available effects and trigger them by code. In Sonoma, you can use new methods on NSMenuMBS and NSMenuItemMBS for palette menus and section headers.
If you use MapKit or SceneKit in iOS with our MapKitIOSControlMBS and SCNIOSControlMBS controls, you can now enjoy touch events and react on them using our new NSTouchMBS class. We updated ChartDirector plugin to have more classes and methods to work on iOS including CDTreeMapNodeMBS class.
Our linux libraries are built with fortified source checks for libc to be more secure. We removed dependency on GLIBC_2.25, so you can use our plugin once again on Xojo Cloud.
For Windows we removed the VS 2019 runtime library dependency for the XML Plugin (and others). The RemoteControlMBS module got methods to check for caps-lock, num-lock and scroll-lock keyboard states.
We added MongoDB Watch Changes example project to show MongoChangeStreamMBS class, added RowsAffected property to SQLConnectionMBS and SQLDatabaseMBS classes, added renameNode and adoptNode methods to XMLDocumentMBS class, CSIdentityMBS got debugger friendlier with the properties and we include UpdaterKit within the examples.

GraffitiSuite is pleased to announce Release 50 for Xojo Desktop and Web! This released includes:
5 New Classes or Products 29 Additions
14 Bug Fixes
16 Various Changes
elease 50 brings one cool new class for both Web and Desktop: GraffitiW3W. This class allows you easily access the What3Words API from within your application, making it easy to supply your users with something readable rather than a typical pair of hard to remember latitude and longitude coordinates. We've also added the ability to leverage this component to GraffitiMapViewer for both Web and Desktop, so all you need to do is bring your own API key in many cases.
Desktop is also getting the new GraffitiModal. This class is super cool. You can easily add beautifully animated modals to any Xojo DesktopWindow, designed visually as a DesktopContainer!
For Web, we built out a Geolocation class that provides a more object-oriented and reliable approach to the built-in Xojo class. It's a simple thing, but it's useful.
Also for Web, the all-new GraffitiVideoRecorder! Now your users can capture video and audio on their devices and the result will be sent to your Xojo Web application! Great for inspection videos, but the possibilities are nearly endless.
