GraffitiSuite Release 54
GraffitiSuite is pleased to announce Release 54 for Xojo Desktop, Mobile, and Web!
Release Statistics :
6 New Classes or Products 32 Additions
53 Bug Fixes
9 Various Changes
Mobile Edition : Mobile Edition continued to be enhanced in this release with additional functionality and 22 bug fixes. This target is maturing nicely and has become a staple in a number of Xojo developers' iOS toolkits. While there were no new products for Mobile in this release, the additions and bug fixes make it well worth taking advantage of.
Desktop Edition : Desktop Edition now has the animated, lovely, and powerful GraffitiPagePanel that first arose in Mobile. With this class, you can give your panel changes some flair and make your UI really stand out. This is in addition 12 other needed extras fpr existing components in this release to give developers even more power over their software. From GraffitiModal positioning to enhanced API for GraffitiTagField, there's a lot to like.
Web Edition : As has been the case in other recent releases, Web Edition takes center stage in Release 54. Three brand new UI components are now added to the arsenal:
GraffitiControlGroup. A huge project in itself -- gives you the power to build vertical or horizontal toolbar-like components with endless possibilities and configurations. With 12 item classes, including one for WebContainers, you can really build some power into your user interfaces. GraffitiCSSAnimator. A modern CSS-based animation component with a variety of operations to make your UI feel more natural. It has a lot of attention seekers and in/out animations with support for variable timing, delays, and more!
GraffitiUploaderSingle. A new take on our powerful and popular Uploader control -- with the same reliable chunked uploading -- and is massively configurable to get exactly what your UI needs in a single file uploader. You control the entire experience with Indicators, GraffitiStyles, and even selecting which UI components you want to be visible in the UI.
We've also added column grouping to GraffitiGrid so it's now even easier to group your data logically so your users can see relationships between columns, control over unfilled ProgressRadial and ProgressSemiCircle areas, and WebContainers in GraffitiToolbars!

Monkeybread Software is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 24.0 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 81,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:
We updated our plugins for Xojo 2023r4. We updated the delegates in CURL, iOS, Mac64bit, MacBase, MacCF, MacFrameworks, Picture plugins and improved the RowSet handling in our MBS Xojo SQL Plugin to be compatible. Then we improved our Chromium based classes for the new Xojo version since it uses a newer CEF version. We highly recommend updating the plugins if you like to try this Xojo version or future ones.
For this release we rearranged internal plugin parts. While we ship 52 plugins currently, they are internally composed of about 400 parts . That is less than the older plugins with over 500 parts. Our plugins load quicker in Xojo due to the reduced number of plugin parts to load.
If you use Google Ads in your iOS applications, please update to the new plugin with Google AdMob SDK in version 10.14 and enjoy the additional classes to show the content dialog. The new consent dialog is required for Google Play store. You can simulate the use of your application in a different region where more or less consent is needed.
Our new JSON plugin gets new functions for creating diffs with the changes between two JSON documents. Then we can apply the patch later. The functions allow you to log changes between JSONs to document changes.
For macOS we added new controls NSSegmentedControlControlMBS and NSPathControlControlMBS , so you can easier use a plugin provided SegmentedControl and PathControl controls.
The DynaPDF plugin got a new DynaPDFParserMBS class to make the parser available for Xojo developers. It allows you to find and replace text on a page, highlight or mark texts and delete texts.
For Windows we got new functions to WindowsPDFPageMBS for synchronous and asynchronous rendering of pages to images. For Bluetooth LE, we improved the WindowsDeviceInformationPairingMBS class to work better on Windows 10.
The BigNumberMBS and LargeNumberMBS classes got new functions to convert to/from strings. You can configure the behavior for BigNumberMBS class with the new BigNumberConversionMBS class. If you need random numbers in various distributions in Xojo, you can use RandomExponentialDistributionMBS, RandomNormalDistributionMBS and RandomPoissonDistributionMBS functions.
We improved scrolling for NSSearchFieldControlMBS class, the NSMutableAttributedStringMBS class got a new replaceCharacters function, we made more properties in CURLEmailMBS class visible to the debugger and the new CopyArrayMBS function helps to quickly copy arrays.
Finally we updated CURL to version 8.5.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.82.239, openssl to 3.1.4, SQLAPI to 5.3, SQLite to 3.44.1, LCMS to 2.16, Xcode to 15.2 and Visual Studio to version 2022.

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.
