Still maintained? #4

This is the most interesting method I've seen for responsive thumbnails. Are the techniques still current and any plans to continue with the WordPress plugin?

A couple of recent discussions on .org about this:

I have no plans for updating mobble at the moment (until a solution for cached websites presents itself).

@Shipwreck I use mobble on a few projects as it's a fantastic plugin. I also follow the ongoing development of mobile-detect. I update the mobile-detect file within mobble each time there's an update.

@scottsweb If you did update mobble it would be good to rename the Mobile_Detect.php class. Currently you use mobile-detect.php. Was there a reason for this? By using the same name it makes it easier to swap out/update.

Regarding caching. I recently moved over to WP Engine for hosting and was concerned that their server caching would essentially break mobble. To my surprise – and delight – it didn't! I now have very speedy sites which use the mobble plugin and mobile-detect class.

Not a good reason. I have changed this today to make it easier going forwards.

This is very interesting. I always just assumed that it would not work. This suggests that the WP Engine cache is smart enough to be device aware. Thanks for letting me know, I would love to know how they have this setup.
