June 24 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta46 has been released !
Improved internal memory configuration (lower ! memory usage), fixed beta45 startup issue, fixed Set Save Directory & 2-panel mosaics.
May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
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.

It looks like there are still issues with APP not releasing memory in beta 44 - at least on Linux. My computer has 96GB of ram, and APP is maxing it out.
I did a simple integration. 100 aps-c frames, colour camera. The OS ram just kept climbing until it was close to maximum (see below). After the process finished the OS ram slowly decreased over several minutes.
Also, the ram claimed by APP seemed unusually high. I'm used to an integration like this using less than 10GB, but it claimed about 31GB.
I am on Linux Mint 22.3, Cinnamon DE, X11.

(Edit - after rereading the release notes I see that the 'soft limit' of 32GB is intended to speed up processing and does not represent a problem)
Hi John @connor231,
Thank you very much for reporting this.
So the screenshot indicates actually that APP is only using 31 GB, keeping below that soft limit ;-), but Linux it self is keeping a very large cache. As long as APP keeps processing and Linux stays responsive, this should not be problematic. Linux should be able to handle this properly.
Yesterday, I released 2.0.0-beta45 and I have made additional changes for the memory management. In my testing, beta45 should work better and keep the memory that APP directly uses lower and release it more quickly back to the OS, so also the OS should release it more quickly.
Can you do a similar test with beta45 and let me know how the behaviour is on your Linux setup?
I can probably improve it again for the next release. I am adjusting the memory controls step by step and I do not want to do it too aggressively, because that could create other problems perhaps.
The most important thing is that APP keeps running without slowing down/stalling, memory does not get fragmented and that the OS stays running fine 😉Â
