*Mobile_Detect is a lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices (including tablets).
It uses the User-Agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.*
We're committed to make Mobile_Detect the best open-source mobile detection resource and this is why before
each release we're running [unit tests](./tests), we also research and update the detection rules on **daily**
and **weekly** basis.
Your website's _content strategy_ is important! You need a complete toolkit to deliver an experience that is _optimized_, _fast_ and _relevant_ to your users. Mobile_Detect class is a [server-side detection](http://www.w3.org/TR/mwabp/#bp-devcap-detection) tool that can help you with your RWD strategy, it is not a replacement for CSS3 media queries or other forms of client-side feature detection.
##### Announcements
For `2.x` branch we are no longer taking optimizations pull requests, but only new regexes and User-Agents for our tests.
On `2.x` releases we are focusing on **new tablets only**. All the pull requests about TVs, bots or optimizations will be closed and analyzed after `3.0.0-beta` is released.
Still working on `3.0.0` branch to provide you with device detection!
We're really excited on this one!
We would like to speed this up, but life and family gets in the way ;)

You can use [composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) in your release and update process to make sure you have the latest Mobile_Detect version.
I'm currently paying for hosting and spend a lot of my family time to maintain the project and planning the future releases.
I would highly appreciate any money donations that will keep the research going.

:point_right: Keep `Mobile_Detect.php` class in a separate `module` and do NOT include it in your script core because of the high frequency of updates.
:point_right: When including the class into you `web application` or `module` always use `include_once '../path/to/Mobile_Detect.php` to prevent conflicts.
