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-beta30 release notes
- UPDATED DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM to Oracle GraalVM 23.0.1
We have updated the development platform from GraalVM 21.0.2. to 23.0.1. This should solve stability issues on the latest operating systems like on Windows 11 where some users reported instability.
- UPDATED JavaFX to 23.0.1
Needed for the support of the native File Chooser dialogs. The File Choosers are the same as in beta29.
- UPDATED FITS support
We have updated the 3rd party library for READ/WRITE FITS support to nom.tam.fits 1.20.2
- IMPROVED Analytical Chart with annotation of the reference frame and image viewer frame
The analytical charts of the dataset will now clearly show which frame is the reference frame (REF) for registration and normalization. It will also show which frame is currently loaded into the image viewer with the new mark VIEW. The VIEW mark will also be shown in the frame list now.

- IMPROVED Analytical Chart, double clicking on a point in the graph
will load that image directly into the image viewer with the current image viewer mode (raw/calibrated/registered/normalized/starmap)
- FIXED fast startup for computers with little amount of cpu cores
As reported in this topic https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/windows/problem-starting-program/#post-30162 the new fast startup of Astro Pixel Processor was sometimes not working well on computers with only 2 or 4 cpu threads. This is fixed and it will still work with only 1 cpu thread in the system.
- FIXED histogram zoom disabled
It was possible to mouse click on the image histogram and lasso part of the histogram to zoom in. This is no longer possible because it does not really serve a purpose, only creates a weird graph.
