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.
Hello,
APP beta9 not starting on Kubuntu 22.04

Hope this bug can be fixed?
Hi @pekdar,
Thank you very much for reporting this.
I think this bug was reported by you previously on a much older APP version, right? See your old topic :
https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/linux/app-1-077-not-run-on-kubuntu-18-04-lts/
This issue was then fixed in a special release and this fix never made it into the OpenGL library that we use officially somehow.
The current OpenGL library is a different version than the one with the release because we need a version that supports macOS Apple Silicon natively.
I can not promise anything at the moment, but I have added this issue to our issue list again and I will contact the OpenGL developers why this fix somehow got lost in a later version of their library.

Hi
I just installed the lastest beta version as trial on kubuntu 22.04 with the same problem. Are there any news? I would like to test APP but i don't wanna set up a new OS for just one software.
Best regards, Seraphin
Dear Seraphin,
If you get the exact same error when starting APP it means that your graphical chip is not supported at the moment unfortunately.
Can you share which graphical chip it is, i guess it is an older ATI chip?
Mabula
Thanks for your fast answer!
I have to check the exact error message again. But know APP 1.083.2 is stacking 😉
Graphic card is a Intel HD Graphics P4600/P4700, so the Chip is a Haswell GT2.
BR, Seraphin
Dear Seraphin,
Thank you for sharing those details. Please check and report the exact error message, I need it to try to have this fixed upstream. The bug is not in APP's code but in a 3rd party library.
Mabula
Hi
Sorry for the delay, i had CS 😉

Thank you Seraphin @stfeller,
I will investigate and will try to have this fixed for your hardware.
Mabula
Hi Mabula
Awesome! I installed it right now and did a first Teststack with the first 8 min from tonight and it worked perfect for me! Thank you very much! Love it!
Cheers, Seraphin
Right now I'm on a business trip... I'll be back at home after 1st of April and I'll check new version and let you know for sure.
just did a few test with latest version and all works as expected 🙂
Bug has been fixed again.
Good job Mabula
