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.
Oddly, in the latest update, the Apple Mac command key isn't working to select A (selecting all files for lights, flats, bias) in any particular target folder.
The key works outside of APP on my Mac normally.
Is there a setting I can click to correct this problem?
Hi @cschurch,
Several beta versions ago, we have changed the File/Directory Chooser window to be a fully native one, to give a good macOS feel. The old File chooser was not native and clearly lacked browsing capabilities on the macOS platform. Unfortunately, this native file chooser can't not use CMD-A yet and we are dependent on both Apple and our development platform to have CMD-A working in this native file chooser. We have asked to have this inlcluded goign forward, but it has not happened yet I am afraid. I can not hack this native file chooser to include CMD-A unfortunately. Hope this explains it?
