Base 2.1 is now available to download, for both web and App Store users.

The full list list of enhancements & fixes is available from the changelog, though there is one item I'd like to mention in more detail here.

Something which I have received many emails about is that NULL values in tables are hard to distinguish from any other text. Being able to set the display string goes some way to fixing this, but doesn't quite go far enough.

Base 2.1 now provides the option of displaying a placeholder graphic for cells with a NULL value. Now it's easy to skim a table and see where the NULLs are, without having to hunt through pages of homogenous text. Here's a contrived example to illustrate:

Base 2.1 can be downloaded from the product page or from the Mac App Store.
