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.

Astro Pixel Processor 1.083.2 release notes, this is a quick release after the stable release to fix a couple of issues that were reported on 1.083.
- FIXED, CONCURRENCY ISSUE IN CALIBRATION ENGINE, as mentioned in this topic https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/postid/21090/ the calibration engine was not behaving properly. It could not find masterdarkflats for flat calibration in this case allthough they were provided. It was a concurrency issue which will occur if more than 1 master is created in MasterBias, MasterDark, MasterDarkFlat, MasterFlat creation.
- FIXED, REGISTRATION, if registration fails on 1 or more frame the actual count of successfully registered frames was not correct.
- IMPROVED, FITS HEADER, APP will now read and use the following fits tags as used by MaximDL, BAYERPAT = VALID and XBAYROFF & YBAYROFF to interpret the correct Bayer Pattern for Bayer data.
- IMPROVED, FITS HEADER, APP will now use the GAINRAW tag to find the GAIN for images shot with TheSKy.
- FIXED, STAR REDUCER TOOL, if a too high kappa was set for the noise threshold, the tool could produce a Null Pointer Exception, because no stars were found... This can happen quickly when non-linear data is loaded into the tool. Now this exception is caught and the tool indicates that you need to lower the thresholds...
- IMPROVED, RGB COMBINE TOOL, I have added 2 more preset formula for the famous Hubble Palette or SHO composite. You now have SHO1, SHO2, a new SHO3 and a new SHO4.
