Apr 9 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 24 hours !
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.
Hello,
The "Remove light pollution" tool is really cool to use but it can sometimes take a bit of time and precision to complete.
And then you inadvertently click the "OK & Save" button instead of the "re-Calculate"... (the two buttons are close to one another). Now, if you say 'save', then you're not done yet; and if you say 'Cancel', you loose everything you did in that tool!
Would it be possible to devise another method allowing to cancel a bad / undesired click and simply return to the light pollution model (or whatever tool processing was in progress)?
Cheers
Gil
