We provide WebView2ControlMBS control to use the WebView2 control from Microsoft in your Xojo application as an alternative to HTMLViewer control. You can use AddBrowserExtension function to load browser extensions into the control. The IsDocumentPlayingAudio property informs you whether audio is playing and the IsMuted property allows you to mute the audio.

For DynaPDF we have new parser functions to list and then delete images on a PDF page. You can query the color and text alignment and bounding box for annotations.

We upgraded the toolbar classes for macOS to include new properties in macOS Sequoia. We add NSMenuToolbarItemMBS, NSSearchToolbarItemMBS and NSTrackingSeparatorToolbarItemMBS classes. These allow you to add a separator tracking, a menu or search toolbar item to your toolbar.

On macOS and iOS you can now use the VNDetectDocumentSegmentationRequestMBS class to align and rectify an image. The same feature as used in the VNDocumentCameraScanMBS class, but now available on its own.

For macOS Sequoia and the Apple Intelligence features we have new properties and methods for writing tools. Use showWritingTools method to show the tools on a text view. Use isWritingToolsActive to check whether tools are visible and configure options with writingToolsBehavior and allowedWritingToolsResultOptions properties. The textViewWritingToolsWillBegin and textViewWritingToolsDidEnd events inform you when writing tools start and end.
