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 got thru #6: Integrate. I have not yet run any Tools.
If I exit APP, how can I resume where I left off? I've saved files in a work directory for every step.
@glennn Glenn, once the integration is done you can start post-processing the image(s). APP has saved the integration results in your working directory so you may close APP if you want. All you need to do is to load the integration results in tab 1, either as lights or as Other/Processed data at the top of tab 1 depending on what data you have and what you want to do next.Â
Oh, that's easy, but It wasn't obvious. I was put off by the numerical sequencing of the operations and just didn't think that I could load processed files in #1 and then skip immediately to the Tools processing tab.Â
A more obvious path would be a "Save Project" button and then "Load Project". So many desktop applications function in that way. I appreciate the simplicity of the APP processing pathway, but the lack of conventional menus is strange.
Thanks for your answer.
True, loading and saving projects is planned for the next release, how much we can put in that one we don't know yet, but of course when we have that implemented, we'll expand options where needed.

Well, you can load the data in tab 1 and then skip all steps and go to tab 6 and click the Integrate button. Once that is done, you can load the resulting integration result(s) in the Tools tab.
But what if I already have the integrated data? Can't I load that and skip the Integrate button? (I really should just experiment).
@glennn Well, the integrated data I referred to are a result from an integration run in APP. If you obtained the integrated data in a different way then you don't need to load them in tab 1. Most tools allow you to load them when you open the tool.
