Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.
It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
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.

Hi @patrick,
Thank you for sharing your first complete processing with APP 😉
Unfortunately, it is not allowed to post an attachment with your first post/topic on the forum. Can you try to post it now ?
(I will try to allow it by the way 😉 for others, I need to switch a setting in the forum software...)

Hi @patrick,
That is a very nice picture of the Pleiades 😉 thanks a lot for sharing!
I have added a direct reference in your intial post to your JPG on your site, if you include such an URL to a jpg as text, it will automatically be embedded in your post 😉 (no need to construct a link, the forum can embed a lot automatically, for instance youtube movies and images from flickr works as well...)
Cheers,
Mabula
