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 2.0.0-beta28 release notes
- macOS 14 Sonoma FIX - disabled metal framework to prevent crash at application startup
macOS Sonoma crashed Astro Pixel Processor on some mac computers due to a bug in their metal framework it seems which only manifests on particular mac computers. We had to disable the metal framework for 2D rendering of APP's interface to prevent the crashes. Googling for this issue indicates that several other applications using the same development platform as ours have the same issue with macOS Sonoma and the metal framework. They all needed to disable metal to have their applications work again, like : https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-6180.
