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.
Running MACOS Catalina 10.15.6 I normally have my screen turn off after 5 min. While running an a full process in APP, it appears that when the screen shut off, APP paused. I came back to check after 3hrs. and APP was still on analyze stars, started up once the screen was back. The computer does not sleep automatically whe the display is off. Is this normal? Is it necessary to keep the screen on? Currently running the demo of APP.
Thanks
I did notice this in the past as well, not quite sure why and I think Mabula also hasn’t found out either. We are in the process of migrating to Java 11, so if this is an issue with Java itself it might be solved then (not sure though). When I had that issue I indeed didn’t let the computer go to screensave mode, I just turned off the monitor. 😉
Yes, that's quite annoying.
The easiest fix is to install Caffeine https://caffeine.en.softonic.com/mac and turn it on when you launch your integration
