Nickenich, Germany - (March 17th, 2026) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Xojo Plugins 26.1 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 83,000 documented features, and the versatile plugins have gained more new functions:

We updated DynaPDF to version 5. Please note that DynaPDF 5 sets UseTransparency to false by default instead of true in version 4 and the UseImageColorSpace flag is now enabled by default, instead of disabled. The ImportPDFPage function is included in Lite.

The CURL library is updated to fix a few bugs we had in the last version. We enabled native CA to verify SSL certificates on Windows.

We updated LibXL and got new functions for querying conditional formatting rules. You can load a book only to query the metadata. Please note that AddConditionalFormatting now needs an area in LibXL 5.1. There is an Errorcode property and you can remove conditional formatting.

The phidgets classes are updated to the newer library. This adds PhidgetCurrentOutputMBS and PhidgetLEDArrayMBS classes, new constants and properties. Check out the LED array modules where you can turn LEDs on/off or run animations.

Our Llama classes allow you to load a local large language model. Use the LlamaBackendMBS and LlamaDeviceMBS classes to check what backends are available. Please check the chat example file for a local chat bot.

We added methods for NSWorkspaceMBS class to query which application opens a file or URL. Then we added methods to open URLs or files asynchronously. Use the NSWorkspaceOpenConfigurationMBS class to pass options. Find applications based on their bundle identifier with ApplicationWithBundleIdentifier method.

Smaller additions:

• Use our SetQOSClassMBS function to change the priority of a thread and move background tasks to an efficiency core.
• Use Profiles function in GMImageMBS class to check what profile data is available for an image.
• Use ProcessPages method in TessEngineMBS and the TessResultRendererMBS class to output recognized text inside an image as a PDF file.
• Use TitleIcon property in TaskDialogMBS to add an icon to the title bar.
• Use ToToon method in JSONMBS class to pass JSON in a compacter form to LLMs.
