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.

I am using an Altair 72EDF with an AA26c Tech cooled camera, capturing images in Sharpcap and processing in APP. I have 161 x 2min light frames. I have processed M31 in APP before and got beautiful colours but now they are coming out black and white.
Is there a setting I should be looking out for?

What APP version are you using at the moment? If it's the latest, APP remembers the settings in the tab menus, so maybe you changed tab 0? You can reset settings now by going to the CFG menu (top left of APP) and resetting the tab settings.
