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, I've got a weird problem in that I've just done a mosaic of SHO data. The RGB combine tool seems to work fine. However when I save the file as a FITS, then load the FITS up - it doesn't load correctly. I've tried GL4 and OpenGL. I've tried selecting different load image options (Image and Linear). See below.
Assuming just a loading/preview problem - I save the image blindly as a TIFF file - and it does save it as that blank white image.
If it is relevant, the FITS file it is loading that got produced is 1.1Gb in size.

I've just unchecked "DDP" from the view and it produced what I was expecting.
I've never had to do that before...Â

I think that unchecking "stretch" would maybe help as well? Looks like it is over-stretched.
