This can simplify some coding for me and since Xojo uses GTK 3 exclusively for years, it shouldn't cause trouble for developers. Let us know what you miss to make the change.įor Linux, we may ditch GTK 2 and link directly to GTK version 3. If needed, we may add more functions for Contacts in the plugin. You may need to move to newer functionality provided by Contacts framework. On macOS we'd like to get rid of Addressbook framework. And of course you could always use an older plugin for some special project running on old hardware. Not a quick change, but more part by part, where we see benefits. Also we may want to move to use more Visual Studio 2019 features, so some plugin parts may start to require the newer runtimes. If you need Windows 7, you may then be required to keep older plugin versions. That may include moving some classes/functions to use functionality from Windows 8/8.1, so the minimum for those plugins will be that version. Plus: Transparent PDFs, Xojo 2021R3, Android, Send Emails with MBS, SQL Injection, xDev's 20th Year, and much more!įor the next year, we have a few little changes to do.

The Feistel network is a sophisticated cipher whereby data is split into two pieces and encryption occurs multiple times. Are these worth it for the Xojo developer?
