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.
Hi, though the version description says only Adobe DNGs are supported the import works fine for my Pentax K3ii DNG files. In the 1.075 beta6 version the import only delivered colored squares for Pentax DNGs but with the official 1.075 version I do not see a difference between imports of Adobe DNGs and Pentax DNGs. The greenish tint that should come from the RGGB Bayer matrice disappears when the "neutralize BG" box is checked.
Am I missiong something here?
Cheers and thanks for this marvelous piece of Software!

True, the Pentax import is one of the specific things that was fixed in the full 1.075 release. 🙂
Great news! Thank you for the information! I already posted it in the PentaxForums astrophotography group.
Great News! Thank you so much. I've been waiting for this!
Thank you for putting this in! I just did my first fully successful image in APP! I shoot almost all my stuff with Pentax.
