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.
Apologies in advance if the answer to this is somewhere obvious and I just can't find it.
Do I need to uninstall 1.082 before installing 1.083?

Hi @skipper71,
In most releases it is safe to copy on top. But it is not always @turtlecat1000. For this release it is however 🙂 you can safely install 1.083 over 1.082.
So in general I would recommend to uninstall always before installing a new version of any application. In most cases it is safe, but not always.
The reason is technical of course, but it has to do with external libraries/dependencies. If you install over the old installation there can be the risk that not all dependencies are replaced properly... which could lead to unexpected application behaviour.

I guess I was thinking more of the Mac side where it’s one self-contained package.
