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.
This horrible new feature is very invasive. It continually pops up in my face taking up half the screen, even if I move it out of the way. With my mosaics I must to be able to "blink" between a single registered frame and the final mosaic to see which panels might be misaligned, missing or need more data. The new Tool Output no longer makes this possible. I am reverting back to beta 14 for now until there is a way to disable or hide it completely.
Edit by Mabula, will be fixed in 2.0.0-beta16
Hi @kelvin-hennessy,
Thank you very much for reporting this, I will check and fix a.s.a.p. So at what stage are you trying to do this? After 4) Register I assume?
Ah, yes, you are right, when you move the chart away and reload a new image, it will show the chart again. I will fix this immediately.

Hi @kelvin-hennessy,
I have fixed this behaviour for beta16, will try to get it released a.s.a.p.
Mabula
@mabula-admin Thanks very much - I've installed it and doing another run on the same mosaic today - I'll let you know how it goes. (it takes 12 hours for registration and integration on a fast computer ! ) I'm acquiring replacement data for some of my panes poorly captured & documented last year. I have to plate solve the bad panels to determine their centres so I can re-capture them.
@mabula-admin The good news is that appears on beta 16 that the analytical results will not jump out and stays hidden if desired. Also the "Cancel" button has stayed visible all the time too.
The bad new is that beta16 is horribly slow - my latest integration took about 27 hours vs typical 12 hours. Also when I try to view any panes of the mosaic in registered view it just took 20 minutes to display the pane, waiting at the "loading new image into image viewer" all that time. The CPU sits on 1-2% all this time.
So I will need to revert back to the last useful version which was beta 14
I have just ordered a new super fast Samsung 990 Pro 2TB PCIe SSD that should arrive tomorrow as I am finding it hard to keep 768GB free on my 1 terabyte C: drive - plus it will eliminate the SSD as a possible cause of the problem. As another member commented I will disable overclocking as well. and try beta 16 again on the weekend.

Thanks Kelvin @kelvin-hennessy for confirming that beta16 fixed the annoying chart from appearing each time. Yes, cancel button should be very clear now 😉
Like indicated in your other topic. Nothing changed in beta16 for cpu resources or memory management with regard to both beta15 and beta14. So the difference in speed comes from the actual settings used in APP and the choice of reference for your mosaic. Do you project the mosaic with the calibrated projective model?
Mabula
@mabula-admin I use calibrated projective with the mercator projection. That's reassuring to know nothing has changed from a programming point of view - so the software may have not liked the big gap in the Milky Way. I'm hoping to acquire my final 3 panes of the mosaic tonight if the skies clear a bit more and I will start off another run with Beta 16 using the correct reference pane.
