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've installed APP v. 1.080 on my Mac machine with OSX Yosemite v. 10.10.5. Cannot launch the app from Launchpad or Finder windows. Suggestions?
Thanks!

Dear Joe @jehoener,
Where you able to install older versions of APP on that Mac with Yosemite 10.10.5 ?
Or is this the first time that you try to install APP on that machine?
I need to double check (which I will 😉 ), but I think that APP requires at least MacOS 10.11 these days.
MacOS 10.10.5 is also unsupported by Apple since august 2017 already.

Dear APP,
I just purchased a New IMAC and using OS V10.15.6. When I try to load APP I get back the message AstroPixelProcessor can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
Please let me know if you have a solution for this.
Thank you,
Dr. Bruce Sobel
I think this is because it isn’t signed at Apple, you can ignore that in the security settings “open anyway”.
I just downloaded a 30-day trial and got the same message:
AstroPixelProcessor” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
Like I mentioned above, did you try to go into the settings and check the security setting?
