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.
There is a minor bug when using the mercator projection mode in 2.0.0 beta 13.
The data entry area for pixel size is not fully visible as per my screen captureÂ
Hi Kelvin @kelvin-hennessy,
That looks odd, I will investigate this in the coming days and will let you know. It is added to our issue list.

Hi @kelvin-hennessy,
The window asking for camera calibration parameters always pops-up when you use the calibrated projective registration model.
It is a bit weird that it is not showing nicely on your monitor, which screen resolution are you using to run APP with?
I have modified it a bit now, to make the appearance more robust and not dependent on screen resolution, so it should be properly fixed now.

@mabula-admin I have three monitors on my computer but mostly only use the main two which are 2560x1440 and 3840x2160Â (the third I dont use often is 1920x1080)
I wont be able to try a new version for a while as 2.0.0.beta13 has been problematic with a large (160 degrees of sky) Milky Way mosaic I am working on so I reverted back to beta 4 which had previously worked for me.
@mabula-admin I just did a test using 2.0.0 beta 4 on my 1920x1080 monitor and there was no problem.
Oddly today the 2560x1440 monitor was ok too, though previously it had the problem.
As soon as I move to my 4K monitor the problem occurs.
