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.
EDIT by Mabula: bug was fixed in 2.0.0-beta29 !
I am trying out APP but I am getting an error popup when calibrating masterflat. See error below:
Encountered error in module:
LightFrameCalibrationError message:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 1 out of bounds for length 1Cause:
Index 1 out of bounds for length 1

The process just stalls and I can't do anything but close the program.
I am using Arch and APP 2.0.0-Beta26
Hi Nils @nilz,
Thank you very much for posting your issue.
Can you share more information on the data that you are trying to process?
Is it monochrome or OSC/color data for instance? Have you changed certain settings in 0) RAW/FITS?

Thank you for your reply. I am using OSC shot from a DSLR, with settings in 0) RAW set to RGGB pattern and Adaptive Airy Disc with use camera white balance and use camera color matrix enabled. Anything I should try to change?
Hi Nils @nilz,
With DSLR, there should be no need to set the Bayer pattern in 0) Raw/Fits, because it will be detected automaticailly. But, setting it yourself should still work of course, so something is not right.
Are all the files, the lights and calirbation data from the same source? I mean from the same capture software or hardware? Are you loading the DSLR raws or perhaps converted FITS from the capture software/hardware?
Mabula
I was loading only DSLR raws. I tried changing the pattern to supported and enable "force bayer/X-Trans CFA" and now it seems to work fine, thank you!Â
