Apr 12 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta41 has been released !
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 has been released which works much better and faster. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more...
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.

Hi Mabula,
I’ve been testing APP 2.0 latest release on a new system and wanted to report a consistent issue.
System:
- Windows 11
- i7-11850H (16 threads)
- 64GB RAM
- RTX A4000 laptop GPU
Dataset:
- ~400 light frames
- 16-bit, ~49MB each
Behaviour:
- 2.0.0-beta41 (Oracle JDK 25.0.2)
→ crashes during integration and drizzle (javaw.exe faults) - 2.0.0-beta38 (GraalVM 24)
→ same dataset completes integration and drizzle successfully
Notes:
- No issues on older laptop (32GB RAM) with earlier 2.0 builds
- Reducing threads did not prevent crashes in beta41
- Beta38 runs stable even with 10 threads
It seems related to the newer Java runtime / memory handling in beta41.
Happy to provide logs if useful.
Thanks for all your work on APP.
kind regards
Bryan
P.s. had some help from AI solving this problem and when I asked if I should report my findings back to you it strongly recommended this and composed the above message 😊
