Hi zppix e,
We have been wanting to release an iOS app, but it depends entirely on
whether we are able to get an iOS developer on board, either as a volunteer
or paid (if we are able to obtain additional funding). The current team is
unfortunately all Android developers.
Do you know anyone who might be interested? :)
Best regards,
Josephine

Serbian alphabets to be used is also done [2] [3] [4]

Hello again,
This is the monthly update from the Readers team at the Wikimedia
Foundation for April 2018.
As always, feedback and questions are welcome.
==Highlights==
* Synced Reading Lists are now available on both Android and iOS. [0]
=== Apps===
* ''Android -'' Synced reading lists are now available on Android! [1]
[2] This has been one of the most consistently requested app
features, and the team is delighted to be able to bring it to you. A
browser extension is in the works to allow you to add articles to your
reading lists from the web. We'll announce in the app when it's ready.
* ''iOS'' - Guess what? When we said syncing we meant across platforms
too! iOS also released syncing reading lists, brining folders, search
and sort to our Saved pages, and letting you sync across to Android.
[3]
=== Web ===
* Page Previews were enabled by default for logged-out users on
English and German Wikipedia. [4] The feature is now deployed to all
Wikipedia projects for logged-out users. Logged-in users can enable
the feature in their Preferences. [5] [6] [7] [8]
=== New Readers ===
* New Reader updates can be found at Meta. [9]

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Mapframe maps now work on English Wikipedia
Message-ID: <2F63F912-6E3C-4B87-8FFD-AAD0EBD7DE80(a)wikimedia.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
English Wikipedians can now use the mapframe function to embed maps right
on a page. (Here’s an example, showing the location of this year’s
Wikimania conference. [1]). Mapframe was requested by the English community
via RfC last year [2] and the request was reconfirmed this spring [3]. If
you you’re new to mapframe, this Kartographer help page [4] shows how to
use it.
Expect more significant new features in the coming weeks, with the
implementation of the long-awaited map internationalization features [5].
After internationalization, maps will display in the content language of
the wiki they’re published on. Until then, they will continue to display in
the language of the territory mapped. (You can experiment with
internationalized maps on testwiki now—here’s a page of examples. [6])
These features are brought to you as part of the Map Improvements 2018
project [7]. Please try mapframe out on English Wikipedia and let us know
what you think on the project talk page [8]. We’re listening.

Hi all,
We've just released version 2.7 of the Commons Android app ! \o/ The new
version is available for download on the Google Play Store[1] as well as
F-Droid[2].
This update includes several new features:
- New "Nearby places that need pictures" UI with direct uploads (and
associated category suggestions) - Two-factor authentication login -
Notifications activity to display Commons user talk messages - Real-time
location tracking in Nearby - Improvements to UI of navigation drawer,
tutorial, media details view, login and settings - Option to nominate
picture for deletion in media details view
We are also thrilled to be mentoring two new contributors for this year's
GSoC - Tanvi Dadu and Ujjwal Agrawal. :)
Thank you all for your support and encouragement thus far! More details and
screenshots can be found in my blog post[3]. Feedback, bug reports, and
suggestions are always welcome on our GitHub page[4].
Best regards,
Josephine (project maintainer)

Sorry about the lack of formatting - I am not sure why that happened. :( To
rephrase, the new features are:
* New "Nearby places that need pictures" UI with direct uploads (and
associated category suggestions)
* Enabled two-factor authentication login
* Enabled viewing of Commons user talk messages
* Real-time location tracking in Nearby
* Improvements to UI of navigation drawer, tutorial, media details view,
login and settings
* Option to nominate picture for deletion in media details view
Best regards,
Josephine
