The Individual

Whoever you are, lone PowerPC user, I salute you.

Update 2011-03-30: And a few days later, the Mysterious Individual has gone. Update stats say that Base now has an Intel-only userbase.

Base 2.0.1

Base 2.0.1 is now available to download, for both web and App Store users. It addresses several bugs related to the display of schemas and some other minor issues. You can read the full list of fixes and improvements from the changelog.

Base 2.0.1 can be downloaded from the product page.

As always, if you’ve found a bug or have a question, please do get in touch.

Base 2.0

I'm delighted to announce that Base 2.0 is now available.

Version 2 of Base is the first major upgrade since the original application was released in November 2008. Almost every part of the app has been tweaked and improved, with several areas getting almost completely re–written. The result is an application which is just as quick and easy to use as the original, with a lot more power.

Base and the Mac App Store

Now that some of the fuss around the launch of the Mac App Store (MAS) has died down, I thought it would be a good time to explain what my plans are for the future of Base.

Statistics helper plugin

The most common support request for Statistics for WordPress is from people struggling to find the details for their site.

To this end, I have written a very small WordPress plugin which displays the API key and URL used by the WordPress.com stats plugin.

Download and install the stats helper plugin (link below) and you will find a new item in the ‘Tools’ menu:

Base 1.4 released

Base 1.4 is now available for download.

The major changes in this release are CSV importing and overhauled SQL importing.

The CSV importer can either create a new table from your data or you can import directly into an existing table. For an example of CSV importing, see the following screenshot:

Base testers needed again

Yep, it’s that time again. I could do with a handful of people to try out the latest version of Base. The main changes in this version are large updates to SQL and CSV importing, so I’m looking for people who can put these areas though their paces.

Anyone who wants to try it should mail me (info@menial.co.uk) and I’ll be in touch with directions for downloading the app.

Base 1.3.4 released

Base 1.3.4 has been released today. It only has one change over 1.3.3 which fixes a bug causing the app to crash on quit (very annoying!).

As usual you can download the update from it’s product page or by checking for updates within the app.

Base turns one!

A year ago today, Base was introduced to the world as a shiny new 1.0.

Well, perhaps not that shiny.

A bit of a rookie error meant that anyone buying the app couldn’t actually use the license file they’d just bought until 1.0.1 a few hours later. Version 1.0.2 followed the next day after someone found noticed another bug. Both of these were things that should have been found during testing, and served to show how thoroughly you should test an app before releasing it. That mad scramble had a chastening effect and all releases since have been much more comprehensively tested!
