Well this is exciting I guess, but any clue as to what it actually means @JaapvanEkris ?

Yes :)

With the introduction of 0.9.6, OpenRowingMonitor can be used with ErgZone in PM5 mode. So you can program your workouts from ErgZone and keep it connected to show all metrics and store the workout in their cloud app. It also allows you to work with their training programs and challenges. I've been testing the app for a couple of weeks now, and it is a pretty good experience.

There are some limitations, like OpenRowingMonitor not supporting calorie based workouts yet, but all time and distance based workouts work. Our handling unexpected stops deviates from Concept2's, so we needed to fix that as well.

As ErgZone is obliged by Concept2 to prevent uploading non-C2 workouts to the C2 logbook, we needed to make sure that OpenRowingMonitor is correctly recognized by ErgZone under all circumstances (even when workouts are stopped mid-session for example). We don't want to get the ErgZone people into trouble with C2, so we put some joined effort in that in the last weeks. In fact, that is the only open point holding back release of OpenRowingMonitor 0.9.6 at the moment.
