There is an updated Linux program for Plant Base – Beta 9, which is still based on version 2.1.12. It’s now available on the Downloads page.
There are no functional changes but many small adjustments to the user interface. These are mainly to improve compatibility with a wider range of Desktop Environments and display themes.
New update of Plant Base was released today and is available on the Download page. This is for all desktop/laptop editions – Windows, MacOS and Linux.
It is another maintenance release with some bug fixes and small changes for the user interface. Probably the most notable changes are a much improved method to enter multiple common names or synonyms when adding or editing a plant record and also a very small but handy feature of the colour selector tool window, allowing a simple double-click on the required colour.
Beta 7 of Plant Base for Linux is released and available for download. This a minor update still based on version 2.1.11
It fixes for a few late-breaking bugs that only occurred in the Beta 6 release. Almost all are related to situations where pictures are resized to fit on the screen and the problems were due to small issues with the latest version of the build software that is used to generate the program. There are no other significant changes since Beta 6.

There is a new update for the Plant Base Linux edition – 2.1.11 Beta 6
To clarify – the program version 2.1.11 means that this is equivalent to the version releases for Windows and Mac. It is also the Linux Beta release number 6. In this particular case the Beta release and the version number are not associated. As this Beta phase is a long term thing, the releases will span the general version updates!
A new version of the Plant Base for Android (1.37) has been released today and also it’s related data support app (1.04). They are available via Google Play or by direct download from the website for those users who are authorised.
Anyone who wants to use Plant Base on Linux can get a free licence by simply asking for one.
This offer is available right now and probably remain at least while the Linux edition is in the Beta phase. Once issued, the licence is permanent, will never expire and may be used for all future versions of Plant Base. The licence registration code will only work for the Linux edition – unlike the full paid licence it will not enable the Windows or Mac editions, or in certain cases Android.
A new update for the Plant Base Linux edition – 2.1.10 Beta 5
There is only one change from the recently released 2.1.10 Beta 4, but this is significant for anyone wishing to install on one of the latest popular Linux distro versions.
I am happy to announce a new version of Plant Base – 2.1.10
For all editions, Windows, Mac and Linux, there are a number of bug fixes. For that reason I would recommend that all users update the program. It’s quick and easy and does not need to have any effect on the database.
I am happy to report that the current version of Plant Base for Android, 1.35, has now been successfully tested under Android 9 Pie. Using a brand new Motorola Moto G7 Power, Plant Base installed and runs with no issues whatsoever.
