June 24 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta46 has been released !
Improved internal memory configuration (lower ! memory usage), fixed beta45 startup issue, fixed Set Save Directory & 2-panel mosaics.
May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
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, on Win10 I can't start the app.
Seem's running but nothing happens.
The JDK process is running.
Rolling back to beta44 works well.
Do you know the issue?
Best Regards
@manumanu, I am not sure if this will help ??
Uninstall ( remove ) the old version of APP totally and then install the new version again, I do not have any more win10 running on any system, hence, I can't try with win10 & give feedback.
Good luck
Martin
Hello,
Thank you Artem but indeed the beta45 is with Open jdk and beta44 is with Oracle jdk.
To me this is the root cause.
Hope Mabula will have a look on it!

Same here,
APP beta 45 won't start on Win10, a rollback to beta44 went flawless.
Regards, Martin.
Not my end 😋 , I did find an Laptop with Windows 10 Home where APP was never installed on, and APP BETA 45 did start & work flawlessly but I rather prefer to use my new WIN 11 Laptop to work with APP 😊, regards Martin

Hi @manumanu,
Thank you very much for sharing the issue. Â It looks like a problem with your computer setup then somehow. I have 2 windows 10 machines and with testing all is fine for 2.0.0-beta45.
How are you starting APP ? Do you start APP from the command line or from the windows start menu?
Beta45 has new improvements for internal memory controls and actually we need the OpenJDK for this, these options that we use are not part of the Oracle JDK. (Shenandoah garbage collection is used now in beta45). Please know that the OpenJDK 26.0.1 is installed together with APP when you install beta45. It is not installed into your Operating System, it is only installed in the APP installation folder so APP can be launched in this JDK.
Can you run APP in the following way to collect an error log that can tell us the issue?
Start APP and manually close APP if the process does not stop by itself, then collect the log.txt file and share the contents here with me.
Thanks Mabula

Hi Martin @picard001,
Can you also try to collect an error log as describes in the previous post? On my windows 10 machines all is fine, so the issue is not directly windows 10, but perhaps some computer configuration that beta45 has a problem with.

Thank You very much,

Hi Martin, @picard001
Thank you very much, the error explains everything for me, I will fix this as soon as possible and will release a fixed version.
Will update you when a fixed version is released. For now, please download beta44 from the downloads page, that should simply work and not have this issue.
Mabula
Hello Mabula,
thanks for your dedication to details and for going after this! I'd like to keep my Win10 a little longer...
Best, Martin.
You are most welcome Martin, @picard001
I am aiming to have a fixed version ready in a couple of days from today...
Mabula
Hi Martin @picard001 and Emmanuel @manumanu,
I have fixed the startup issue that you experienced with beta45. The fix is included in beta46 which I will release in a couple of days time 😉 You will be able to find beta46 once released on the downloads page:
https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/downloads/
Just to confirm, how much CPU threads does your computer have? Is it less than 8 cpu threads?
- FIXED 2.0.0-beta45 startup issue
Beta45 would not start on a computer that has less than 8 cpu threads. This has been fixed.
Thank you very much for reporting the issue.
Mabula
Hello Mabula,
I guess my Intel Core i7 4600U has 4 CPU threads (not sure about the effect of hyperthreading) - at least it has 4 processors and APP also displays that it can use at most 4 threads in the upper left corner...
Best, Martin.
Hi Martin @picard001,
Thank you very much for the feedback. Please try 2.0.0-beta46 from the downloads page. I released it today and this one should work 😉
Mabula
Hi @manumanu,

Mabula
Hello
I downloaded V46.
It works now.
Thank you 😀Â
Beta 46 also starts and works flawlessly on my Win10 system.
Many Thanks fo rthe patch, Mabula!
