APT v.4.50 - Stability and new features

[Yoddha]

 

Microsoft has released another Windows 10 update (KB5035941) which is affecting APT. This time we took extra care to eliminate such problems in future. For Windows 10 users APT 4.50 is a critical update.

We also made many stability improvements that avoid many if not all random crashes.  As usual there are new features. Some of them long awaited, others unique new ideas. 

The list of the fixes and the novelties is available here:

This May is a very special month Sometime in May 2009, APT was used for the first time to take real astro images, so we will celebrate 15 years of APT gathering distant photons! The time flies when is spent in a good company! Great thanks to everyone for being part of the community and the project! 

As you know the last two years are more difficult, but what is a celebration without presents So there will be a modest gift - on May 11th all active keys will get one extra month
