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.
@tempusfugitxxii As mentioned above, the full manual will be released with the full 2.0-stable release on which we're working at the moment. The big promises were explained in earlier threads, Mabula had a difficult time unfortunately and this caused some delays, however since we've moved on to a new development platform etc. everything is moving faster. We're still a 2-man operation and every user has their priorities for development, we'll keep working on our list of features and these will arrive, PI ofcourse has the advantage of way more years in development (and thus users who create video's and even books) and 3rd party plugins. In the end, you can always decide what to do and we wish everyone success in the hobby, no matter what software is used.
@Vincent-mod There is a new free software that is also good as Blurxterminator. It called Astrosharp, still in development but also a good software like Blur. i am going to try that out.
Maybe is a that a good software as a plug-in for your APP???
see this video and there are more of them who test it out.
