  • The Top 10 from the MBS Xojo Plugins in 2022
  • News from the MBS Xojo Plugins Version 22.2
  • MBS Xojo Plugins, version 22.2pr4

Release notes

• Version 24.0
  • Added Hidden attribute to JSONIteratorMBS, XMLIterateAttributeNodesMBS, XMLIterateChildNodesMBS, XMLIterateElementsMBS, DynaPDFIteratorMBS and PCRE2IteratorMBS classes to hide it from auto complete. Since you use it via for each loops indirectly, you never need to use these classes directly.
• Version 22.3
  • Added SetStackSize method to PCRE2MatchContextMBS class.
  • Fixed PCRE2MatchDataMBS class to not crash with querying StartPosition in an empty matchdata object.
• Version 21.1
  • Added IsASCIIText function to RegExMBS class.
  • Improved performance a lot of repeated calls to Execute method in RegEXMBS class to find matches.
• Version 20.0
  • Fixed crash in SubString() function in RegExMBS when called without an Execute first. Raising exceptions now in this case.
