The Linux desktop edition of Plant Base has been updated to the same level as the Windows and Mac edition. Also some extra bug fixes and other small changes specific to the Linux edition have been included.

This is still definitely only at the Beta stage! However, I’m really pleased with how it has been running on my own systems and it has been perfectly usable here. There have been no issues at all with the database access side of things. Not surprising perhaps, as this shares the same code as the other editions. Development and initial testing have been done on two MX Linux systems, 64-bit and 32-bit, with additional testing on Linux Mint. ( read more . . . )

A new version release of Plant Base for Windows and Mac is now available for download, 2.1.9.

This is mostly another maintenance release with some bug fixes. There are also a couple of additional new features. ( read more . . . )

An updated version of the Android app was recently published on Google Play.

This version has some significant changes that bring it up to date with latest requirements for the Google Play store. The app should successfully run on Android 8 (Oreo) or later, but also remains compatible with older versions of Android. ( read more . . . )

A new program release of Plant Base for Windows and Mac is now available. Version 2.1.8 is essentially another maintenance release with just a few fairly small changes and some bug fixes.

There is not yet a new release of the plant database to go with it, so it’s only the program part. As usual, updating the plant data has been happening continuously but is not significant enough to justify issuing yet – so that will come later on. ( read more . . . )

At the moment I am revisiting the development of a Plant Base edition for Linux. This was briefly looked at before but this a more concerted effort and a good winter project! Strictly speaking Plant Base already runs on Linux, in that we have the existing Android edition and Android is built around a Linux kernel. However, in this case we are talking about Linux operating system distributions for PC’s and laptops. ( read more . . . )

An updated version of Plant Base is released and available on the downloads page – 2.1.7.

This is essentially another maintenance release and there are no really big changes. It does contain some important bug fixes, so it is a recommended update for all existing users. ( read more . . . )

We have reduced the purchase price of a Plant Base license by £5 to just £20.

This is to coincide with the release of version 2.1.7

There is no definite plan about whether this will be a permanent price change or not, we will see how things go! ( read more . . . )

Plant Base for Android in now available on Google Play.

To accompany the main app, a simple and free Data File Support app has also been released. This provides three file maintenance functions that are not included in the main app. A first essential for new users who do not run the PC or Mac editions is the database file download, which will install the database onto the device ready for the main app to run. So the entire install can be done on the device, without the need for a PC or Mac. The Data Support app also has an Import function that will be useful when there is an updated database release. There is also a database compact function, which may be good for some people. ( read more . . . )

Version 1.27 of the Plant Base for Android app is available for download by registered users. At the moment this is still part of the Beta test phase, but we are treating this version as the first candidate for general release. ( read more . . . )

There is a new version the Plant Base for Android app – 1.25. This continues the Beta phase. Only very minor changes since the previous version, but has the addition of an entire new section for plant record References. This mirrors the references function of the desktop editions. The section was intentionally omitted for the first Beta release. ( read more . . . )
