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 think both of your uploads are great! Very nice detail, maybe slightly dark in the background, but very nice nonetheless!

Thank you!
It's a recurring issue of mine if you remember from last time, on the Cygnus Wall edit... 🙂
Ah yes, well it's something I say more often as that's just my personal preference. 🙂 No problem doing it the way you like it best ofcourse!
