Upcoming changes for 2026 in MBS Plugins

For 2026, we plan to change a few things and we let you know here:

Vertical Products for ProDeveloper licenses

We plan to ask people with a ProDeveloper licenses for our FileMaker plugin which vertical solution they use the plugin in, so we can know which developer to contact if their clients contact us directly. Currently we have no real overview and need to search manually the web or our emails.

Number of releases

Currently we do a release every two months. There may be the chance to optimize this and maybe do just 5 instead of 6 releases a year. For example the release in July always gets less feedback as clients are going to vacation. If we don't need to have something new to show for a summer conference, we may skip this. And the September release is often a smaller update because our team is regularly on vacation in August.

Currency Adjustments

Since the US Dollar lost some value in the past year against the Euro, we may adjust our USD prices.
Anyone interested to update using our current pricing, may do before we do the adjustment.

32-bit Windows needed?

For Windows we consider to drop the 32-bit plugin version for Windows for FileMaker. Please let us know if you still need it for FileMaker 18 or older.

Windows 7 and Server 2012 needed?

We wonder how many people need a new plugin for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012 for FileMaker.

32-bit Linux on Intel needed?

For Linux we consider to drop the 32-bit plugin version for Linux on Intel for Xojo. Please let us know if you still need it for something in Xojo. Also we wonder how many people need a new plugin for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012 for Xojo.

Old Tesseract Version 3 is gone

For years we told people to load version 5, so we could remove version 3. That did happen this year, so the plugin lost a few MB in size. Seems like nobody misses it.
Still, if you open an old solution, you may get this as a surprise.

Old Xojo Kits

We stopped selling BugReporterKit and UpdaterKit for Xojo this year and just included it in examples folder. Enjoy!

Xojo Plugin Survey

And since we don't know what plugin parts people use in Xojo, we may do a survey to ask clients on what they are using. This may be a Xojo project to scan all your built apps for what plugins they use. We'll see.

We wish everyone a happy new year 2026!

The biggest plugin in space...
