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 thought I've done it before in earlier versions, but when I try to extract Ha or OIII from HaOIII in the latest version (beta 17) from a single (already integrated) HaOIII file, I can't get the mono channels - it doesn't matter which choice I pick in 0) Raw/Fits, I get the same mono image. Do I need to re-integrate the original fits files to extract Ha and OIII??
Yes, starting over for those separations will work. First start with "extract Ha" and do the processing, switch back to tab 0 and choose "extract OIII" and process again.

Hi @heylers, the original files are files that need to be demosaiced. The resulting integrated file is a combinated of demosaiced data so no longer needs demosaicing thus the algorithms in 0) RAW/FITS have no influence on the integrated files.
