Apr 9 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 has been released !
It has a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration, for mosaics even faster! 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. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming hours...
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.
UPDATE 2017-09-01: Since APP version 1.050, the application is signed with a trusted certificate and this has resolved the security problems.
UPDATE 2017-07-07: I have requested an EV code signing certificate to solve the problems with Norton Security/Anitvirus and Windows 8 and higher to install and start APP. Once I receive the certificate after external security checks, these problems should be solved due to signing of the application with a trusted certificate.
If you have requested a TRIAL and were unable to activate and start APP due to a problem, please contact me at
support@astropixelprocessor.com
I will then help you to get started and I will restart you TRIAL license period.
 Windows 10 together with Norton Antivirus currently prevents APP from being installed on the system. Norton uses a reputation system, and APP hasn't build up any reputation yet, so Norton simply says it's unsafe, although Norton Labs have never actually examined APP. Norton doens't allow APP to be installed currently unless you can manage to tell Norton it's a safe application. I am working to get his fixed.
Kind regards,
Mabula
