Hi all,

Just an update on this, I'm targeting end of the (coming) week for this.

Mother nature interfered in some rather catastrophic way with my release plans for Friday (yesterday) last week. The fiercest storm I have ever experienced in my life tore through our region on Wednesday, bringing down tree after tree, on many houses (3 of my neighbours got hit), power, communications and infrastructure. No loss of life in our immediate area fortunately - in the end that's all that matters (not so lucky elsewhere though :( ).

We're still without power, but we got some 3G/4G reception back yesterday (Friday) and roads are mostly cleared now of fallen trees, so we're no longer cut off.

Thank you for your patience as we try to get stuff restored!

Hi all,

Thank you again for putting your hand up!

You should now have been contacted via email with a download link and links to the preliminary documentation.

Thank you all again for helping ST become (and remain!) the most powerful AP post-processing tool on the planet! :bow-yellow:

Hi Ivo,

thank-you for the invite. I gave the alpha a spin and came across a number of issues and a crash at the end but
for a while the SVDecon was a fun explore and brought out some amazing clarity on an M5 image I am working on.
How do you want to receive feedback ? This thread ? A new thread specific to each tester ? Do you want
links to data, posted ST workflows in code view etc. ? I think you have just launched ST to a whole new level!
