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 just downloaded the latest version for a trial (new user) -- 1.083.2. I'm on Mac OS Monterey (12.6) with a MacBook Pro M1 Pro. When I try to open the software it says it can't be checked for malicious software and needs to be updated by the developer.
@diane-miller Hi Diane, please go to the macOS System Settings and then Privacy & Security and allow APP to start.
HTH, Wouter
I did that -- in both Accessibility and Full Disk Access -- and it still won't start, with the same message.
@diane-miller Great. Please also enable this at the bottom of the General tab.Â
Found that and did it. Â Entered my License Activation information and it says it can't activate my license. Â Did it 3 times -- I'm sure I'm matching the info I got in the email. Â Changed browser from Firefox to Safari -- still doesn't work...
@diane-miller Great that it worked and sorry for the license trouble. I'll ping Mabula and Vincent who can help with this much better than me.
@diane-miller Hi Diane, I'll have a look right now and see if your license details are correct etc. I'll send the license we have to your email.
Vincent
He found the problem -- thanks! Somewhere in the purchasing process I entered a user name but the activation window wanted my real name.
