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.
I installed the arm64M1 2.0.0-beta2 on my M1 MacBook and clicking the processing sliders for fine tuning is still not working. Clicking for fine tuning does work for the sliders that don't have the left side and right side adjustment boxes. For all of the sliders that have those left and right boxes, clicking on the slider bar with the mouse pointer does not move the set point as it did with previous versions. Changing the numbers in those boxes to change the level of adjustment does not help. The Console Output acts like it is processing something but the set point on the slider and the image do not change.
For me that fine adjustment ability was very helpful and hope it can work again.
Thanks, Jeff
Having this same issue on my M1 Mac. Any resolution to this? Sliders seem to be non functional.

Is this still the case for beta 13?
Hi Joe and Vincent,
I think the sliders are working fine. I am using Beta 13. I haven't tested them all but for example the black point slider can be moved very gradually by clicking and holding on the slider bar on one side or the other of the set point dot. Depending on the setting of the box immediately to the right (e.g. click on it to set it to 4 for fine adjustments), the setting will start to change. Release at the point desired to see the result.
Jeff
