I was testing new developed website in Umbraco7.1.6 in my mobile. I have found that it's a mobile friendly website. so just wondering that does this new version of Umbraco support the mobile compatible view or developer developed this functionality using code ?
It's the developer that has made sure that the website is mobile friendly. Either by using a mobile first approach or using a serverside technology like WURFL or 51Degree mobile to detect the device and then serve a mobile friendly website for the mobile device for instance.
Umbraco is just the CMS delivering the content - How the developer chooses to display that data on a website and taking the multipple devices into account is up to him/her to figure out. It's not something that comes out of the box unless one makes use of a theme, which is already optimized for a responsive behavior.
With the release of Umbraco 7.2 there is a new grid editor, which gives the editors more freedom in terms of how they can setup and build their pages but in the end it's up to the developer to make sure the site is responsive. Even though the grid is responsive etc. it does not mean the rendered website is responsive...it depends on how the developer chooses to implement things. Umbraco is just the shell for the content.
Umbraco it self did not make any mobile frindly website, so the website that you are testing developed in Umbraco 7.1.6, the developers has developed this functionality using code. It could be media queries like this: http://stephen.io/mediaqueries/
Mobile Friendly website

Hope this makes sense :)
