  • Added CompositeIconsMBS.
  • Added Window.GrowBoxTransparentMBS as boolean.
  • Added CocoaColorPanelMBS.SetPickerMode.
  • Added CGOpenPDFDocumentMBS to open PDF files from memory.
  • Added iSEDquickPDF Example example project. Thanks to Thomas Nauck who wrote it.
  • ATSUTextLayoutMBS.BreakLine now returns value in all cases. (including kATSULineBreakInWord).
  • Fixed iSEDQuickPDF. Now the strings are correct in length and content! Example updated.
  • Fixed movie.PosterTimeMBS.
  • Fixed memory leaks in picture.rotate.
  • Fixed the Libary in the SoftDeclare class to Library.
  • Fixed the ExtractMovieFrames.rb example.
  • Fixed a bug with HTMLViewer and RB 5.5.4.
  • Fixed HTMLViewer control.
  • Fixed a few bugs again in Webkit to avoid crashes.
  • Webkit RenderPDF and RenderEPS should now work again.
  • Fixed QTTrackMBS.Layer to work now.
  • Fixed a bug between the Webkit plugin and the SelectColor function. You still can't use the CocoaColorPanel class and the SelectColor function in the same application.
  • Ported String Plugin to Linux.
  • EncodingToHTML and DecodingFromHTML have now a much longer list of known entities.
  • Changed WebResourceLoadDelegateMBS.DidFailLoadingWithError and WebResourceLoadDelegateMBS.PlugInFailedWithError to have a new ErrorInfo dictionary. On the long run I will make an error class for all this error details.
  • Got the plugin a little bit more compatible to RB 2005.
  • The SpeechMBS.Speak and the SpeechChannelMBS.Speak methods now take care about encoding. And they now store the last error code in the new lasterror properties.
  • The special folder functions can now work with unicode on Windows.
  • Updated RendezvousStuff.zip to have newer stuff from Apple.
  • The Cocoa Colorpanel class now initializes on first use and not on plugin load time which should give less problems in your applications if you use the REALbasic Selectcolor function.
  • Rewritten the code for the controls to draw in the IDE. Should now show their icon on Mac, too. Report if they are looking bad somewhere. (Tested on RB 4.5, 5.5 and 6.0a14)
  • OpenMovieWithCustomQTDataHandlerMBS now takes a string so you can a more than 8bit key. Your key string should be longer than the file headers to make best use of it.
  • Renamed OpenMovieWithCustomDataHandlerMBS to OpenMovieWithCustomQTDataHandlerMBS.
  • DNSService classes now return strings marked as UTF8.
