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)
