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 is probably a crazy ask, but since you do so much image processing, I was wondering if you might add optical analysis. I bought CCD inspector a while ago to do this sort of thing but I suspect Mabula might do a better job. They haven't updated the app in years since Windows 7 days and it can be a little inconsistent. I'm thinking some analysis like focus, tilt, collimation and backfocus could be analyzed. It would be so helpful to see if there are optical issues without spending further time on testing the scope. But otherwise APP is working great for me!

Hi @astrogee,

Thank you very much for the proposal. I have added this to our ToDo list. We need to finish work on some other parts as well, but we will see if we can incorporate such a tool into APP as well.
