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 would like to run APP on my brand new Mac laptop however I am unable to because of the “AstroPixelProcessor” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software error. My security settings are managed externally so I cannot bypass this problem. It could be fixed simply by signing up as an Apple developer and getting it properly signed. Are there any plans to make this happen?
APP is signed with Apple, but Java 8 is something Apple decided not to support properly. So this is a bit out of our hands unfortunately, we are working hard to move to Java 11 which will solve this issue.

I don't use APP on my Mac, but I know this kind of error you're reporting. I got this with my virus scanner. I could bypass this by manually extracting the install package to a folder on the desktop and then installing from that folder. I don't know, if this will work with APP. Maybe you could try.
