Apr 9 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 has been released !
It has a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration, for mosaics even faster! 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. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming hours...
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.
Maybe this could be an optional config (maybe all the columns should be optional?) but I'd like to request a column for the temperature a particular sub was taken at. For those of us with uncooled sensors it might help us in picking the correct dark or seeing if we need to change our strategy when stacking.
With uncooled camera's I wound't really bother with sorting on temperature. Unless you're combining darks taken in different seasons and such? I tend to have different calibration files per season mostly. But I can definitely ask Mabula if this is nice to implement.
It's not so much for me to sort by or even graph but for me to see/evaluate the temperatures quickly. It'll help me more quickly pick out which of the darks I have that best matches the set or if I need to subdivide the set. Remember, I'm one of those people who have lots and lots of subs. I can see how this won't benefit people with <30 subs but with 100s it's helpful.
Just heard back from Mabula and it's already on his todo list, so it'll be there in a future version.
