• Added support for WPTouch Pro, but it appears to be flaky still. Anyone have time to work on that? I don.t.
• Some sites had problems with scheduled posts. For some reason the plugin thought the post was in draft mode and then because it only checked the same post once, when the post magically became published the cache wasn.t cleared. That.s fixed, thanks to the debug logging of several patient users.
