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 guys...
I got this error message when processing some one-color-shots of IC342 today:
 Any idea what might cause this? Never happened before, running APP v.1.083 beta2.

@ajnilsen Can you tell a bit more about the data you're processing? How many lights and what calibration data did you use? Does the problem happen again if you stop and restart APP or if you reboot the computer?
Hi...
I uploaded 101 lights, one masterdark, one master bias and oine master flat as well as one BPM. It happens when I restarted the PC also as well as when I restarted the program. However, when I removed the master bias, it seems to work, so the error might be caused by a corrupt master bias frame. I'll continue to investigate and shall let you know...
Thanks!

No, it was created with an earlier version....
AJ
@ajnilsen Depending on how old the earlier version was, that may have been the cause. I'd advice you to take new bias frames and create a new master. If you cannot take new bias frames and still have the old one, please create a new master bias from those.
Hi...
I took a series of new bias frames and generated masterbias using APP v. 1.087beta. This solved the problem :). Thanks!
