Nickenich, Germany - (November 18th, 2025) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS FileMaker Plugin 15.5 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 15.5 has been updated and now includes over 7700 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions:
For macOS 26 and iOS 26 you can use our FoundationModels functions to use Apple's local on-device LLM within your FileMaker solution. Check whether the model is available and initialize a session and ask for responds. You may use the model for chatting, summarization, translation and more.
On the FileMaker Server you use the SchemaChange functions to watch for changes in your databases. The plugin collects the changes and provides them as JSON array to you. You can use a scheduled script to process the entries and add them to an audit table for later inspection.
For CURL we added a CURL.NetworkChanged function to inform CURL about a network change. The new functions for multi transfers allow you to know how many transfers are currently running, pending, added or done. Secure Transport was removed in favor of OpenSSL.
For Windows using WebView2 control for web viewers you can now set what preferred color scheme to use. You can query the directory path for the current profile, set the default download folder, query and set the width and height of the web viewer.
We have UUID.UUIDv7 and UUID.TimeFromUUIDv7 functions to create time stamps based UUIDs so you can sort them by date. Use Text.ZLibCompress and Text.ZLibDecompress functions to compress text or container with zlib compression.
For Markdown we added a HTMLDocument function. We got the Text.HTMLtoStyledText function to convert that HTML to styled text and added the MarkDown.StyledText function to provide styled text for FileMaker.
We remember the width of columns in various dialogs. The format button for the data viewer can be set to automatically format the XML or JSON content. We added links for the calculation dialog to jump to the most recent used table occurrence.
For macOS we have Files.BSDVolumeName function to return the BSD name for a volume. The Files.USBSerialNumber function returns the serial number for an USB stick.
When you register a custom function via our plugin using FileMaker or JavaScript code, you can lock them to avoid the function being modified. We can list function IDs as well as provide details information with Plugin.CustomFunctions function. The preference dialog allows you to paste the whole license string to enter your license and the Trace function logs the layout you are on.
You can use Phidget.WriteRFID to write RFID cards with your RFID Phidget. We improved WMIQuery functions to better handle security and added WMIQuery.JSON function to return results as JSON.
Finally we updated CURL library to version 8.16.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.102.299, expat to 2.7.3, jsoncons to 1.4.3, libarchive to 3.8.2, OpenSSL to 3.5.2, Saxon to 12.9 and to Xcode 26.0.
