WPhone Admin Plugin

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 employer who loaned him a Touch for a couple of days. He was able to do a bunch of testing, bugfixing and addressing of nagging UI issues. I’ll let his release notes speak for themselves:

• CSS tweaks to fix spacing issues in the original and updated iPhone/iPod Touch firmwares, as well as in desktop safari, instead of just the latest iPhone/iPod Touch.
• Convenience links on email and URL field where and when appropriate.
• Now launching some links in a new window (target=”_blank”) on devices supporting the feature.
• Added a View/Preview button to the post/page edit forms.
• Misc. navigational tweaks.
• Improved the user experience on webkit devices with no or disabled Javascript support.
• Better browser detection for rich v. lite versions of the interface.
• Custom changes to iUI, submitted upstream to the original project.
• Better, more consistent location bar hiding.

We’re really pretty psyched about this one. All users ought to update ASAP and if you happened to do so this afternoon, well, update again. A version incorrectly tagged as 1.2.0 (oops on my part) slipped out for a few hours. The current trunk/ contains the definitive 1.2.0.

Happy upgrading, and we guarantee that it won’t brick your iPhone.
