Base 2.4.5 Released

Base 2.4.5 is now available to download for both web and App Store users. This update fixes a number of fiddly little bugs across most parts of the app. Notable changes include:

• Tabbing between fields in the data browser now wraps from line to line
• Failed CSV imports now report where and why failure occurred
• Table list filtering no longer loses focus after each keystroke

Base 2.4.5 can be downloaded from the product page or from the Mac App Store.

Base 2.4.4 Released

Base 2.4.4 is now available to download for both web and App Store users. The changes in this version are small, but significant:

• Sandboxing is now re-enabled for App Store customers. See this blog post for more details
• A crash-on-launch bug has been fixed
• An interface glitch where the SQL error notice could not be dismissed has been fixed.
• Base now requires Mac OS 10.8 or newer to run

Base 2.4.4 can be downloaded from the product page or from the Mac App Store.

Base 2.4.3 Released

Base 2.4.3 is now available to download. This is a very important update if you are running Mac OS 10.7 and purchased Base from the Mac App Store.

This version will only be available for a short time (at the latest, 19^th May 2013) and will be the last version to support Mac OS 10.7.

Base 2.4.2

Unfortunately, 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.

Base 2.4.1

The 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.

Base 2.4

Base 2.4 is now available to download, for both web and App Store users. This update includes both new features and some bug fixes.

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.

Base 2.3.1

Base 2.3.1 is now available to download, for both web and App Store users.

This is a bug fix update which improves support for the MacBook Pro with retina display and fixes a number of relatively minor problems.

Base 2.3.1 will be the last version to support 10.6 Snow Leopard. Future versions will require 10.7 Lion or higher.

Base 2.3

Base 2.3 is now available to download, for both web and App Store users.

This update contains a range of changes, with highlights including a new visual pragma editor and line numbers displayed in data tables. For users outside the App Store it is also signed ready for Gatekeeper in Mountain Lion.

Base 2.2.1

Base 2.2.1 is now available to download, for both web and App Store users.

This is a bug fix update, taking care of some problems with data filters, CSV importing and the table editor. A full list of changes can be read in the release notes

Base 2.2.1 can be downloaded from the product page or from the Mac App Store.
As always, if you’ve found a bug or have a question, please do get in touch.

Base 2.2

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.
