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.
I've been experiencing a problem with very long startup time when I open APP. It started with the previous version and I just upgraded to the latest version. Once I click the APP icon it can take several minutes for APP to actually appear. When I go to the task manager, it shows the task, but there is no activity apparent. At one point today, it took about 10 minutes to open. I tried this with my virus protection turned off with the same problem. Any ideas?

That's weird indeed, which version and what operating system are you using?
Sorry for the delayed response Vince. I’m running Win10. The problem went away with the last update I ran. Win10 is very frustrating, but for now, I’m good.
Thanks,
Randy
Well... you said it, not me. 😉 Glad it's solved!
