1. You can now edit polygon vertices in Groupworld
We have recently added the ability to edit polygon vertices in Groupworld. This functionality was already present in Groupboard Designer, and we have now added it to Groupworld.
To edit a polygon vertex, simply click on the vertex when in select mode, then drag the vertex.
2. Freehand drawing improvements
We have updated both Groupboard and Groupworld to use the getCoalescedEvents javascript API. What this means in practice is that freehand drawing will be much smoother on slower devices, especially when using a graphics tablet, as we now process every co-ordinate sent from the pointer or graphics tablet device.
3. Option to allow non-presenter users to draw on whiteboard by default
We have made a minor update to the presenter mode in Groupworld: you can now configure it so that non-presenter users can draw on the whiteboard by default. Tick "Allow non-presenter users access to whiteboard by default" in the room editor, or use the non_presenter_access API option.
