Jan 31 2026: APP 2.0.0-beta40 will soon be released with many fixes especially for Linux, upgraded development platform and 10-20% performance boost !
Jan 15 2026: FIXED LICENSE SERVER VPN Tunnel issue
 The issue could have prevented APP to start when using a VPN tunnel or another complicated network configuration, like using APP on a remote computer on a different continent. This issue is fixed now and APP should start normally.
Jan 04 2026: 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. Unfortunately, Mabula was struck by a severe flu virus in the past couple of weeks and thus could not work. He is getting much better now and he has resumed work to release 2.0.0 as soon as possible. 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.
Nov 28 2025:Â APP 2.0.0-beta39 has been released !
Hi. Love the mouseover hints - really useful and informative. Maybe its possible to do the same for the right hand panel? I think I've pretty much worked out what some of it does, but hints would help. Maybe its just me and its obvious!
Also there is a reset option for what I think is the black and white point. Is there any reset for the stretch and other options? I've been experimenting with these and now have no idea what the defaults are.
Also when saving the final file, its clear that you need to tick the stretch box if you want to save the st version - but does this also save the other options eg Hue and Sharpening, or do these only affect the "view" and not the save.Â
Thanks
Tom
Those will affect the save yes, what you get in the view is what will be saved. But you're definitely right that the right hand panel can use some better hints and maybe changes. Thanks for the comments!
