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 All
I run APP on a server running Oracle Linux 7 (similar to RHEL 7) , and I'm not able to get APP to see libraw. It reports 'We are unable to load the LibRaw library for raw support for camera RAW'. I've libraw-0.19 installed from repo in /usr/lib64 and libraw-0.20 installed from source in /usr/local/lib. Neither are found when I start APP.
Any logs or other info that I can gather from APP to help debug this issue?

To start with, APP ships with it's own fully tested and compiled version of LibRaw so the LibRaw that you install on your system is not relevant. This reason is to prevent many issues, since the LibRaw API does change between versions.
We compile our LibRaw on Fedora28 and if Oracle Linux 7 can't load our LibRaw, it means that the LibRaw c/c++ dependencies that we use to build are too old probably on your Oracle installation. Is your Oracle Linux 7 completely up-to-date?
I can lookup the exact dependencies and their versions needed to run LibRaw with APP if you want?

@mabula-admin That would be cool. I can also check with ldd if that helps to see what dependencies are missing, but not sure what file to run it against.
My OL7 is up to date but is missing some desktop packages you'd normally see, so I'll do some additions of Desktop package groups.

So Fedora 28 is used as the base for RHEL8/OL8. I'll try under OL8 and let you know how it goes. That's probably why it doesn't work under OL7.
Confirmed it loads fine without the libraw warning on Oracle Linux 8. Nice! Thanks for your help.
Now time to crunch some data. And find my license key email.
