Base 2.5 Released

After a bit of a gap, I’m pleased to say a new update to Base is available to download.

The highlights include:

  • Modernising the UI a bit to bring it more in line with recent versions of macOS. It looks familiar, but feels less old fashioned.
  • Adding syntax highlighting themes. You can now have different text colours for light & dark modes which switch automatically.
  • Adding support for macOS Dark Mode throughout the app. No more eye glare!
  • All versions of Base now require macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and have enabled sandboxing

There’s other minor bugfixes in there too which sort out some UI glitches and misplaced buttons.

There’s still a long way to go with this app. Development is still ongoing and I am looking forward to the next five years. I hope you will all join me.

Base 2.4.8 Released

Base 2.4.8 is now available to download for those purchasing licenses via the web store. An update for Mac App Store users has been submitted and will hopefully be approved for sale quickly. While normally both versions will have updates released together, the bugs that are fixed in this version were annoying enough to warrant separate releases.
