    Development Version (Beta-Testing Version)

    The development version of the Orchard Spray Record-keeping tool is forked from the original spreadsheet found above. The purpose of this new version is ultimately to provide new capabilities to the orchard manager and to make the tool more flexible for diverse operations. It is still very much in the development stage, though it retains the same functionality provided by the previous version for apple and peach.

    If you are managing a production orchard, you are urged to choose one of the stable versions listed above. This version is for people who are willing to beta-test the software, report bugs as they are uncovered, and suggest new features.

    Comment: This product has not been tested with earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, Office for Mac, or other office software such as LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or Numbers. Chances are good that the spreadsheet will mostly function correctly in these packages, but use at your own risk.
