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 recently had an issue during registration cycle of APP.  I was stacking a relatively small number of subs (330) which came in two separate sessions.  Each session has the same exposure, same temp, same everything.  I have been using APP for about 2 years and just recently started dithering during my sessions.  During registration phase, I get a warning of registration failure due to several subs have not registered.  It indicates a whole session will not register(180 subs) while the other session of 150 subs registers.  I have increased Star targets and increased Scale stop levels.  Nothing seems to cure the problem.  I have looked at all the subs and there is no apparent issue with any of the subs visually.  I have never had any issue with registration using APP in over two years so this is a head scratcher for me.  Any thoughts?  Could this be related to dithering?  I have dithered other targets with no issues.
