With groov, you can easily build an operator interface that works on any size screen: wide-screen TVs, desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones. Everything automatically scales to fit on any device.

But considering the size and shape of these screens—and how your users will want to use the data on them—you may not want the same things to appear in the same ways on a TV and on a phone.

In response to your requests for more frequent groov releases, here you are: groov R3.1b is released!

This new version fixes issues and adds a new enhancement: if communication fails between groov and an I/O device, errors will be written to the groov message logs. This information can help you debug the cause of communication errors.
