Base 2.2 is now available to download, for both web and App Store users.
Browsing table data has been tweaked so that BLOB data fields are now displayed as a clip icon instead of garbled text. Double-clicking on a BLOB icon will show an editor sheet, pre-loaded with a viewer suitable for that data. It knows the different between text and images and will also attempt to discover the correct file extension for any other data you may throw at it.

I'm sorry to say that from now onwards, Jezz is no more. It was a fun app to make, but it needs a lot of work to bring it up to date. iOS 4 (and soon 5) brought a lot of changes and I need to prioritise working on my other apps over Jezz.
For those of you who have purchased Jezz, you will still be able to download it from the Purchased tab of the App Store.

Last night, Apple quietly adjusted the prices on some of the App Store storefronts. This meant that for a few hours, prices varied by a relatively small amount depending on which store and which country you purchased any of my apps from.
One of the App Storefronts which had prices raised was the UK one. Since I price Base in GBP, I have returned the UK price from the Apple-set £22.99 to £19.99. This means that many other countries have effectively had a price cut. For example, the US price before adjustments was $32.99 and is now $28.99.

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.
