I am very pleased to announce the release of a new app, [Charge](/charge/).
Charge is a handy little app for displaying your Mac notebook battery level in a clear, colourful and unobtrusive way. Once you set it running, the adjustable icon will float wherever you leave it and always show an up-to-date level of your battery. If you want specific details, double-click on the icon to show a notification with the exact percentage charge and time remaining.

Read MoreUnfortunately, in my haste to release a fix for the crashes in Base 2.4, version 2.4.1 did not completely address the root of the problem. In order to limit the number of people downloading a broken release, I reverted back to 2.3.1 on this website and temporarily removed Base from sale on the Mac App Store.
Read MoreThe previous update to Base had a bug which caused a crash on launch for users running Mac OS 10.7. It did not affect users on 10.8 or newer.
Version 2.4.1 of Base fixes this bug and is available immediately for download from this site. People who have purchased Base via the Mac App Store will have to wait a little longer as the update must be approved by Apple. I have requested an expedited review, so hopefully this will not take long.

The main points for this version are a new logging system, with fast filtering and simplified preferences and improvements to the custom SQL tab. After running your own statements, you can now get a breakdown of each statements execution time.

These rows of data can be generated by the million as any one of several different file types.
