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.
APP Beta 29 simply does not create any master flat file. Is there any solution available?
I have attempted to create a masterflat in all of my April - June projects but with out success.
Hi Andy,
That seems odd - I haven't seen any problems in this regard with beta 29. I have created master flats using a variety of systems (NINA, ASIAir) and cameras and it all seems normal. I wonder if anyone else has seen any such behaviour?

This may seem obvious but you may have just disabled it for some purpose and forgot. I did that recently. You can click on CFG (top left of the window) and then click on "RESET all menu tabes to defaults". This will certainly give you masters or at least warn you that your files are not suitable for making masters.
