Apr 9 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 has been released !
It has a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration, for mosaics even faster! 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. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming hours...
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.
I spent better part of today trying to get my mosaic to run.Ā Now I'm trying to stack a simple single panel shot and APP has decided to go wonky.
1) I loaded 160 lights and my masters and got an error during registration.
2) I failed to save the error to I attempted to reload the files and tried to run it again but got a different error, but this time when loading the lights (see attached). After the error is acknowledged with the "OK" button, APP locks up, none of the buttons work.Ā It's the Mac Intel version and I'm not getting a "Force Quit" option (meaning that even the computer knows it's locked up)
Loaded a previous beta, same error.
Funny thing, this was working just fine earlier today.

That is interesting, what APP version are you using?
Sorry, meant to post that...Beta 22
I guess you tried the restart trick of the entire computer? š
Not yet, that shuts down my movie server and with my wife recovering from a procedure by binge watching Gilmore Girls that's a last resort 🤣 . Ā Will try that later
Haha, well I wish her good health and I hope that may do something. If not, please let me know and we will try to investigate further.
