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.

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.

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.
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.
Features and pricing: The current version of Base is being submitted to the MAS. It will have the same features and the same price (actually one penny different - £9.99 / US$16.99 / €13.63). I hope it will be available when the Store opens, but we don't yet know when that is.
