Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
I don't think anyone has mentioned this but apologies if it's old. I'm working on about 500 comet images: registration takes quite a few minutes and, maybe a dozen times, asks me to confirm the nucleus. I tend to get on with other things while it's running and often don't realise for ages that APP has paused waiting for my input. It would be very helpful if it let me know in some way. Perhaps not as loud as the gong but something that would clearly get my attention, if that's possible? - Gary
That would be something we could add as a preference indeed. I'll pass it on to Mabula as well, thanks for the suggestion.
Excellent. Cheers.Â
Mark ye well this day, Vincent and Mabula: The day an APP user ASKED FOR IT TO MAKE MORE NOISES! 😆Â
I actually agree with Gary, I hasten to say. I just think it's hilarious after reading so much gong kvetching on this and other fora.
Gary, you may wish to prepare for an onslaught of gongs and other noises sent by the maddened hordes, and calling you a traitor. But always know: We have your back, man.
Lol yes, I know, but he asked for it now! 🙂
