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 have integrated separate light channels (LRGB) individually with APP . Now I am now trying to do all the lights form all channels together but using the master flats created in the previous integration instances. I first added master flats as well as master darkflats. The master flats were not applied to the channel stacks. I thought that the master darkflats may have been applied twice hence the results. I then removed the master darkflats and integrated again using only master flats. Same problem.
It appears that the master flats are not used if produced previously.
I have not seen this when doing all together at the same time when I use flats and darkflats to create master flats and master darkflats while stacking lights
What am I doing wrong?
