Nickenich, Germany - (July 18th, 2023) -- MonkeyBread Software today is pleased to announce [MBS FileMaker Plugin](https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/) 13.3 for Claris FileMaker for macOS, iOS, Linux and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin currently available for Claris FileMaker produce line. As the leading database management solution for Windows, macOS, iOS and the web, the Claris FileMaker Pro Integrated Development Environment supports a plugin architecture that can easily extend the feature set of the application. [MBS FileMaker Plugin](https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/) 13.3 has been updated and now includes over 7100 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions:

With this version, we switch from OpenSSL 1.1 to the newer version 3.1.1. While you may not notice the difference from the outside, the inside is updated for [Encryption](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_Encryption.shtml), [CURL](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_CURL.shtml), [WebHook](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_WebHook.shtml), [Archive](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_Archive.shtml) and [Sign](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_Sign.shtml) functions. Since the new OpenSSL 3 deactivates less secure ciphers by default, you can enable them again with [CURL.SetOptionSSLCipherList](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/CURLSetOptionSSLCipherList.shtml) function if needed.

Our new [Preview](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_Preview.shtml) functions allow you to add a preview control on a FileMaker layout. Independent from FileMaker, you can show PDF documents on macOS and Windows.

To improve JSON processing, we got the [JSON.GetArrayItemsAsQuickList](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/JSONGetArrayItemsAsQuickList.shtml) function to split a JSON array into a quick list. The JSON entries can then be changed and later reassembled with the [QuickList.JoinJSON](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/QuickListJoinJSON.shtml) function. If you look for matching entries in a JSON array structure, check the [JSON.FilterObjectArray](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/JSONFilterObjectArray.shtml) function to look for matching objects.

For macOS we localized our user interface, so you can use the preferences dialog in one of 12 languages. Enjoy auto completion in the custom function dialog with the function-F5 shortcut. We improved our clickable links in Script Workspace to include links in calculations.

We enhanced our [Matrix](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_Matrix.shtml) functions to output the content of the matrix to HTML with the [Matrix.HTML](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/MatrixHTML.shtml) function. And a matrix can be written to a sheet in an Excel workbook with [XL.Sheet.CellWriteMatrix](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/XLSheetCellWriteMatrix.shtml) function.

For DynaPDF we got new functions to create reset and submit actions for forms and adding fields to them. The [DynaPDF.CreateAnnotAP](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/DynaPDFCreateAnnotAP.shtml) function creates a custom appearance stream for an annotation. For tagged PDF formats, you can use [DynaPDF.OpenTagEx](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/DynaPDFOpenTagEx.shtml) and related functions to add tags as needed. And the [DynaPDF.AddDPartNode](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/DynaPDFAddDPartNode.shtml) allows to add Document Part Metadata right within your PDF document.

We got a [Files.DeleteLater](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/FilesDeleteLater.shtml) function to remove temporary files when the application quits. The [GMImage.Describe](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/GMImageDescribe.shtml) function can provide various details for an image as text to show to the user and OCR results can be returned as JSON with [OCR.GetTextAsJSON](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/OCRGetTextAsJSON.shtml) function. The WebHook can now use a password protected private key for [WebHook.SetSSL](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/WebHookSetSSL.shtml) function, [Text.ConcatWithDelimiter](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/TextConcatWithDelimiter.shtml) can help to concat texts with a given delimiter and [Schedule.SetEnabled](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/ScheduleSetEnabled.shtml) lets you disable or enable schedules. The [audit](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_Audit.shtml) functions now better return SQL errors, the [XL.Sheet.SetColPx](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/XLSheetSetColPx.shtml) and [XL.Sheet.SetRowPx](https://www.mbsplugins.eu/XLSheetSetRowPx.shtml) functions can set column widths or row heights in pixel instead of characters.

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 library to 1.23.4, openssl to 3.1.1 and SQLite to version 3.42.0.
