New Groupworld feature: ability to scale items on whiteboard
We have recently added the ability to increase or decrease the size of any item on the whiteboard, for the HTML5 version of Groupworld. Simply select an item using the "select" tool, then press the + or - keys on the keyboard to change its size. You can also use the cursor keys to move selected items.
iOS 8 support for Groupboard and Groupworld apps
Both the Groupboard and Groupworld iOS apps have now been updated to be compatible with iOS 8. Please let us know if you experience any problems.

HTML5 version of Groupworld now default on Chrome
Due to the fact that Chrome will soon be blocking all plugins by default, we have now made it so that the HTML5 version of Groupworld is used by default on Chrome. In general the HTML5 client on Chrome should provide the best experience.
Pressure-sensitive line transparency added to Groupboard Android app
We have recently updated the Groupboard Android app to support pressure-sensitive freehand line transparency. Just tick the new 'pressure-sensitive line transparency' option (in the Options screen), and you will be able to draw using varying opacity in freehand line mode.
Obviously this requires a pressure-sensitive screen, and works best with stylus devices such as the Galaxy Note series.
