New APSIM beta releases
Posted:15th June 2007
The Software Engineering Group has implemented a new Beta release process
where pre-release versions of APSIM are made available to users for testing
purposes. This was done to avoid the situation where users were being given
'bootleg' versions of executables for new functionality that was in demand.
Now this new functionality is made available in official BETA releases.
A cautionary word of warning though: It is strongly recommended that you do
NOT use these beta releases unless you are wanting to test the new functionality.
They have only undergone limited testing! Do NOT use beta releases for production
simulations! The beta releases, included the release notes containing what has
changed, can be accessed from the new beta release menu on the main menu.
