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.

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.
