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.

Hello, I'm attempting to integrate a 36-panel mosaic that is about 2 Gigapixels in size, and APP suggests downscaling the result by a factor of 0.000 to integrate the image because of memory limitations, which is not what I was hoping to do hahaha. My machine has 32Gb of memory, how much memory do I need to integrate a 2 Gigapixel image?

Good question, I'm not sure actually. 🙂 It's big though so it does require a lot of memory indeed. Downscaling it by 0, is basically no downscaling so you might give it a shot? Which APP version are you using?

I supposed I interpreted a 0.0 factor as being the final image size is zero! I'll try it out. and I'm using the new beta version
