A new release of WordPress Mobile Edition, a WordPress plugin to provide a friendly mobile interface for your WordPress powered site, is now available.

The new version of WordPress Mobile Edition is really a developer release. This version adds API access so that other plugins can participate in mobile device checking and add to the settings page for WordPress Mobile Edition.

I was contacted by a developer who was interested in adding to the plugin, and after reviewing his proposed changes that integrated with his (account required) service, I thought they were interesting but would be better as a separate plugin rather than part of the default distribution.

As a result, I added a couple of simple APIs that gave him the access he needed. I’m releasing this new version so anyone can build a plugin that leverages, enhances or extends WordPress Mobile Edition.

The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.

If you have any trouble with this, please contact the WordPress HelpCenter (512-788-9236) or you can try the WP Support Forums.
