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,
APP v2 will be a great improvement, nice work 👍 .
For now I haven't seen any major issues with my ZWO ASI533 files. I've seen strange behaviors while making mosaics (APP can merge files that haven't any common area, and I does it nicely ! 😬)
But when I try to open a Sony camera raw file (A7III), APP crashes (beta 1 & 2, Mac OS 11).
Going back to 1.83.2, it works.

Hi David,
I also use Sony A7III ARW files and both beta1 & beta 2 are able to open these successfully. However I am running MACOS 12.4 (also12.3 worked).
cheers,
