Latest release also delivers new controls and performance gains across desktop, web, and mobile

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Xojo, Inc. today announced the newest release of the Xojo cross-platform development environment, headlined by the new Agentic Mode. Agentic Mode lets AI coding agents work directly on Xojo projects, seeing their changes reflected in the IDE and catching compilation errors on their own. Developers get a faster, more automated workflow in which AI agents act as first-class collaborators, all while users stay in control.

Alongside Agentic Mode, the IDE gains the ability to reload an entire project, individual project items, or just the items that have changed on disk, making it easier to keep work in sync with external tools and version control. Xojo also continues to refine its built-in AI assistant, Jade, with improved copy and paste to and from text, better handling of special characters on Windows, and more reliable support for longer-running requests.

Desktop developers get a more polished and modern toolkit, including the new DesktopTable control, symbols in menu items, and system images available on every target. WinUI and Linux apps also see improvements. On the web, large ListBoxes populate much faster, and developers get new tools for previewing custom controls at design time and responding to presses on WebRectangles. Mobile developers gain new document pickers and viewers, dynamic type support, and richer menus, bringing iOS and Android closer together in capability.

"Developers are increasingly working alongside AI agents, and Xojo 2026r3 is built for that reality," said Geoff Perlman, CEO and Founder of Xojo, Inc. "Agentic Mode closes the loop. An agent can write code, run the project, read the compiler's feedback, and keep going, freeing developers to focus on the creative work. Xojo has always aimed to abstract users from the complexity of development, and Agentic Mode is our next big step."

New Features and Updates:

- IDE: Enable Agentic Mode (File > Agentic Mode) to allow Xojo to auto-reload projects modified by AI agents and allow the agent to run the project to get compilation errors

- IDE: Reload the entire project, individual project items, or items that have changed on disk

- IDE: Improved copy and paste to and from text; Jade now better handles special characters on Windows and longer-running requests

- Desktop: DesktopTable, MenuItem symbols, Picture.SystemImage on all targets, WinUI improvements, Linux improvements

- Web: ListBox.AddRow performance improvements, WebCanvas.DrawControlInLayoutEditor, WebRectangle.Pressed

- iOS: PopupMenu separators, symbols in several places, dynamic type, MobileSearchField, MobilePrinterPicker, MobileDocumentPicker, MobileDocumentViewer

- Android: ToolbarButton badges, PopupMenu separators, Picture.Mask support, dynamic type, MobileDocumentPicker

- DBKit v2: Adds support for DatabaseConnection, displaying related tables, lazy loading, and much more
