Update 2009-05-31
PayPal have now restored access to payment processing. All should hopefully be normal now.
As anyone who has tried to buy Base since Friday (28 May 2009) has noticed, I'm currently unable to accept payments and hence process any sales. This is because PayPal has noticed that I had not fully verified my details with their system to prove I'm not some sort of international fraudster. Which I'm not.

Well, Base 1.2 has been out for just over a week now, so I figured it’s time for an update.
So far, the app seems to have had a pretty good reception. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to contact me with feedback (especially those who have sent detailed bug reports). For the most part, complaints and requests have centered around one area: the editing of existing tables.
Now that the Christmas / new year festivities are out of the way it’s time for an update on how Base development is coming along. The next release - version 1.2 - will have some useful changes being made, though there isn’t a predicted release date yet. The three things I’d like to pick up on are:
I’m pleased to announce that the first public application from Menial has been released. Base is an SQLite 3 database reader/editor for Mac OS X and more details can be found at it’s product page.

Unfortunately there was a problem that slipped through testing before release. When a license file was opened, the app would not register that license. To fix this, just re-download the app from this page and double-click your license file again.
