For Windows we got a WinPreviewControlMBS control to preview PDF documents using the PDF viewer built-in to Windows 10 and newer.

The QLPreviewControllerMBS class on iOS allows you to preview various documents like Word or Excel documents. If you show pictures or PDF documents, you can allow the user to markup the document and save the final PDF document.
The XML plugin got an evaluate method to XMLDocumentMBS class to do XPath queries and return results as XMLXPathResultMBS object.
For DynaPDF we got new functions for tagged PDF formats to add tags as needed. And the AddDPartNode function allows to add Document Part Metadata right within your PDF document.
The Scintilla plugin got an improved lexer code to better highlight Xojo code. We added RegisterRGBAImage and MarkerDefineRGBAImage methods to use pictures for markers.
For HTMLViewers based on WebKit 2 on macOS and iOS we have new options for WKWebViewConfigurationMBS and WKPreferencesMBS to allow inline media playback or picture in picture playback. You can limit navigation to app bound domains and upgrade known hosts to https protocol.
We added the describe method to GMImageMBS class to provide various details for an image as text to show to the user, the ConvertImage method in WindowsPDFDocumentMBS class helps to convert HEIF or RAW images to PNG, the XLSheetMBS class can set column widths and row heights in pixels and you can filter object arrays in JSONMBS class.
Finally we updated CURL library to version 8.1.2, DynaPDF to 4.0.75.218, LibSSH to 1.11.0, LibXL to 4.2, MongoDB-c to 1.23.4, openssl to 3.1.1, RabbitMQ-c library to 0.13 and SQLite to version 3.42.0.

GraffitiSuite is pleased to announce Release 50 for Xojo Desktop and Web! This released includes:
5 New Classes or Products 29 Additions
14 Bug Fixes
16 Various Changes
elease 50 brings one cool new class for both Web and Desktop: GraffitiW3W.

We've also added the ability to leverage this component to GraffitiMapViewer for both Web and Desktop, so all you need to do is bring your own API key in many cases.
Desktop is also getting the new GraffitiModal. This class is super cool. You can easily add beautifully animated modals to any Xojo DesktopWindow, designed visually as a DesktopContainer!
For Web, we built out a Geolocation class that provides a more object-oriented and reliable approach to the built-in Xojo class. It's a simple thing, but it's useful.
Also for Web, the all-new GraffitiVideoRecorder! Now your users can capture video and audio on their devices and the result will be sent to your Xojo Web application! Great for inspection videos, but the possibilities are nearly endless.
