We’re just a few days away from shipping out our WPtouch 1.6 update, an update which bundles new features, updates for WordPress 2.7 compatibility, and a solid fix for the dreaded ‘white page’ and ‘too many re-directs’ issues facing some users.

We’ll continue to do some testing over the next few days to ensure a solid release for everyone, so hang tight for now and look out Monday : )

WPtouch 2.0

We’re still working on WPtouch 2.0, but instead of the ‘giant leap’ approach we considered earlier, we’re slowly chipping away at the 1.x branch, a stand in tow with Matt Mullenweg and crew against version inflation.

We’ve been doing a code-rewrite along with some help from the WordPress crew to optimize WPtouch for multi-blog environments such as those in WPMU scenarios, adding 2 more default themes (and theme switching support), localization, plus other goodies. Stay tuned.

WPtouch 1.4 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.

This update is meant as a maintenance update, targeting performance, stability, and fixing outstanding bugs with the WPtouch 1.x branch.

In addition, we’ve started assembling a page for everyone who has donated or supported WPtouch, and want to thank everybody for their ongoing support and commitment towards WPtouch.
