WPhone Version 1.4.0 Has Hit The Streets
Viper and Stephane have been hard at work making some behind-the-scenes improvements to WPhone, so much so that it calls for a full .1 version bump (and not simply a +.x.1 bugfix bump). We’ve done some code clean-ups as well as some performance tweaks that should make sites running WPhone just a bit faster [...]
A Note on Implementation and Design Choices
Some might ask themselves why we decided to rewrite and develop a separate WordPress Admin in close parallel to what is being done in the WP core, instead of simply re-skinning the standard output to seemingly achieve the same goal.
Although the above statement is in itself not entirely accurate given our thorough adherence to the [...]
We Get Signal. Main Screen Turn On.
While we anxiously await the results of Matt’s judging, I thought I might point out something interesting I’ve noticed. WPhone has been out in the wild for a couple of weeks here and I’ve noticed that quite a few sites are starting to link back to us, a most welcome outcome, to be sure. [...]
Fresh round of screenshots
Since I was looking for a diversion from thinking about tonight’s deadline, I thought I’d whip you up a fresh batch of screenshots to showcase what the 1.3.1 release is all about. Thanks once more to Andrew for providing us with native iPod Touch screenshots of the latest release.
Check them out on our screenshots section, [...]
WPhone Version 1.3.0/.1 aka “Final Contest Revision” Hits The Streets
Well, our pre-contest work is officially finished, pending any show-stopping bugs that users might report. We actually released two versions of WPhone today. Version 1.3.0 was freshly ported over from the dev tree and included:
Latest Activity: added a new section to the dashboard to replicate the WP’s Latest Activity features, but without requiring [...]
Screenshots Aplenty
I’ve updated the Screenshots page with a slew of images captured natively on an iPhone, graciously contributed by forum denizen “andrew”. Many thanks, andrew!
In development news, we are looking to finish off version 1.3.0 which should be our final version of the plugin prior to Monday’s contest deadline. We’re looking into usability and [...]
Giving 1.1.1 A Miss, We Hit 1.2.0
Given the *ahem* history involving mobile Apple devices and the number 1.1.1, we figured we’d give that revision a miss and head straight to 1.2.0. Plus, there’s more functionality in 1.2 than a simple maintenance revision number bump.
Stephane put a lot of work in this weekend, due largely to the generosity of his new [...]
1.1.0 Is Out
We’ve released version 1.1.0 of WPhone — grab it from the usual place or just do an svn up if you’re keeping up with trunk.
We established a /branches/dev/ branch in the Subversion repo, so if you’re interested in keeping up to date with the bleeding edge, switch your svn checkout to point to http://svn.wp-plugins.org/wphone/branches/dev. Stephane [...]
1.0.1: A Quick Bugfix
Stephane found a few quirks in the way the older iUI that we’ve based a lot of code on was handling the iPhone’s default viewport width of 320 pixels, so he made a few quick fixes and then committed the result to the repo.
Hopefully this will take care of the odd sizing and “dancing” that [...]
Bug Hunters Needed
We need users of any mobile device to help out and test WPhone, but particularly iPhone and iPod Touch users. Windows Mobile, Palm (Blazer), Nokia N series, etc. are all welcome.
If you’re an owner of just such a device, we’d really appreciate feedback over at the forums.
Thanks!
