WPtouch 1.2.1 has been released here on the website and on the official WordPress plugins repository, which means you can upgrade automatically through the WordPress 2.5+ admin panel if you’d like.

Here’s a quick list of the updates/changes:

• The ability to disable Gravatars in comments (speeds up the load time considerably)
• Redundant, unused template cleanups (archive.php page.php and search.php are now rolloed into index.php)
• More style enhancements and tweaks, fixes
• Chnaged from CURL to Snoopy for admin News section (fixes some user issues – thanks to Joost de Valk!)

Stay tuned for more information about our exciting 2.0 release coming out in September, 2008.

REMEMBER!

ANY modifications you have made to template files will be overwritten, this includes uploading your custom icons.

For this reason we recommend that if you have customized your WPtouch install that you download directly from our site and and make a backup of your server installation of WPtouch before applying the update. Then you can re-apply your customizations to WPtouch afterwards.

We are developing a much better method of updating for the 2.0 branch, which will get around these types of issues.
