- Updated DynaPDF to version 2.0.46.472.
- Updated NSLocaleMBS for SnowLeopard.
- Fixed problems with CocoaControlMBS and WebViewControlMBS.
- Fixed some autorelease pool console messages for Sparkle Cocoa plugin.
- Removed MacScripting part as it does not work correctly and makes too much work on Snow Leopard.
- Changed a lot of Cocoa methods to use NSRectMBS, NSRangeMBS, NSSizeMBS and NSPointMBS instead of simple values.
- Removed InitializeCocoaMBS, DisableGarbageCollectorMBS, EnableGarbageCollectorMBS, UseCocoaMemoryDebugMBS and InitializeCocoaMBS.
- Removed NSLocaleStringArrayMBS, NSSpellCheckerStringArrayMBS, CIStringArrayMBS, PDFStringArrayMBS, PDFSelectionArrayMBS, PDFAnnotationArrayMBS and PDFPageArrayMBS class. Now we use REALbasic arrays.

- Fixed GrowIconMBS class (no longer crashes in event).
- Setting NSStatusItemMBS.Image should not leak any more.
- OpenMacOSXPreferencesPaneMBS now works with preferences panes in Library and User Library folder, too.
- Fixed a bug in WindowsFolderChangeMBS when using more than 1000 objects.
- Fixed a memory leak in NSImageMBS.InitWithPicture.
- The plugin now keeps a list of Cocoa objects so the plugin can return you the same REALbasic object for the same Cocoa object.
- Removed NSSpellCheckerRangeMBS. Now using NSRangeMBS class.
- Changed SpellChecker code. You need to change your code.
- IKSlideShowMBS works on Snow Leopard now.
- PictureReaderMBS/PictureWriterMBS/PictureEditorMBS now work on Cocoa.
- CocoaControlMBS should now work for Cocoa target.
- PNG plugin is now more console friendly.
- Compiled now with minimum support Mac OS X version being 10.4. Still over 90% of the plugins work on Mac OS X 10.3.9 but you need to test yourself.

MAC912374 I mostly agree with ADOBE INC. Where does Christian's code come from? If he uses code licensed by Free Software Foundation, he must also make his source code available to his users. Does he? Free Software Foundation should launch investigations on his products and rip him of his profits if necessary.

JOHNRED This plug-in collection is nearly prefect. If you use REAlbasic, then without a doubt, you should be using this also. It exposes much more of OS X than REALbasic does out of the box. The countless features and APIs will save you a ton of time so that you don't have to keep "reinventing the wheel". Most importantly, though, is the responsiveness of the developer. I've almost always gotten a response within hours (sometimes even minutes!). He has always been willing to come up with solutions for my needs and he continuously works to improve his product. Another significant thing is that the plug-ins contain much more complete versions of existing REALbasic features and classes. So if you need lower-level access to things like the clipboard, drag & drop, webkit, etc., then this will provide it for you. Highly recommended.

STEVE HUTSON Outstanding Customer Service I asked the developer of this plugin whether it could handle a specific task, and he promptly replied that he thought it could. I immediately purchased a license. Minutes later, I received another message from Christian that he had done some research and some testing that revealed that the plugin could not, unfortunately, do what I needed on the Windows platform. He promptly refunded my money (even though he loses money on the deal) within hours of my e-mail. This is excellent customer support! Many other companies would have made it a lot harder to resolve the problem.

CHARLIE BOISSEAU This plugin is great. I cannot say there is anything wrong with it at all. Christian's done a great job of filling huge gaps in REALbasic's functionality. If there was ever a notion that RB was missing a few features - get MBS! From very general to very specific, the whole spectrum of features has been implemented to a high standard. In reply to 'Adobe' (yeah, whatever); the point of open source is for people to use the code for their own benefit. Christian has to make his money somehow. Anyway a good percentage of the functions and classes in the plugin don't require a serial number and are therefore free. You get literally thousands of really useful features which aren't implemented by anyone else for REALbasic. I say that's worth the money

ADOBE INC. I cannot recommend this collection of REALbasic plugins, because it contains mostly GPL-stuff, freeware and open source. This guy (Christian Schmitz) tries to make money, nothing else. He should make a statement, that most stuff in his plugin collection is stolen, pirated or used without the knowledge of the original authors. Sorry, but this plugin collection sucks!

CED I recommend this plugin to everyone that use RB, specially on MacOSX. The functions are fast, very stable, and easy to use. All majors features of the system are now available for the rest of us : coreFoundations, coreGraphic, Midi, safari Webkit, services, rendezvous... Definitively a must-have.
