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.

Hi guys, I have just downloaded the trial version after having read that APP now uses the LIBRAW app to support many raw formats. I use a Samsung NX500 (same sensor as NX1). I do not see an option to open my SRW files (Samsung RAWS). Anything I need to change in the Load process or background settings?
Many thanks

Good question. It seems Libraw also supports Pentax but I have yet to see any astro software support Pentax. I wish developers would first support DNG. Its a generic format that most cameras support and its also supported by Libraw.Â
