[Apps] Android Wikipedia beta app release (2.2.146-beta-2016-05-23)
by Stephen Niedzielski 28 May '16

28 May '16

The Android team[0] is pleased to announce a new Wikipedia Android app beta release, v2.2.146-beta-2016-05-23[1]. This revision contains the following new fixes and functionality[2]: * Introducing Reading Lists: In place of the old "Saved Pages", you can now organize the articles you browse into reading lists, which you can access even when you're offline. Create as many lists as you like, give them custom names, and populate them with articles from any language wiki! * Update authentication to work with the latest server changes. * Add "edit here" to the long press menu. * Check Wikipedia Zero status on page load instead of on network state change. * Improved Wikipedia Zero banner design. * No longer force downloading and widening HQ images when on a metered connection. * Numerous crash and bug fixes. Included in this version are patches from first time contributors, Michael Basil[3] and Elad Keyshawn[4], and repeat contributors, maroloccio[5] and Dan Garry[6]. Nice work, devs! You too can help make it better! Read our getting started guide[7]. We can't wait for your contributions! -The WMF Android team [0] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team#Android_App [1] Rolling out at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.beta [2] A complete list of changes is available at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/APAW/history/master/;beta/2.2.1… [3] https://github.com/intrications [4] https://twitter.com/EladKeyshawn [5] IRC: maroloccio, https://twitter.com/maroloccio [6] IRC: Deskana, https://twitter.com/danjgarry [7] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Wikipedia_Android_app_ha…

Mobile Content Service Phab board workflow
by Adam Baso 23 May '16

23 May '16

Migrating thread to mobile-l. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Max Binder <mbinder(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, May 20, 2016 at 3:58 PM Subject: Mobile Content Service Phab board workflow Hey iOS/Web/Android, The MCS Phab board[1] used to have "Doing" and "Code Review" columns. This was somewhat redundant with existing workboards, notably Android's sprint boards (Android has been the primary contributor to MCS, but doesn't officially own the work). It was weird to move the same task into "Doing" and "Code Review" on different boards, so we simplified the flow and removed the "Doing" and "Code Review" columns from MCS's Phab board. What this means for you: *If you do MCS work, tag the task with your own team's workboard.* For Android and Web, this means tagging it with your sprint board. For iOS, this means tagging it with your release board. As always, talk with your POs and teammates before pulling in work. As the work is resolved in sprint/release boards, the tasks will also disappear from the MCS board (same as the relationship that tasks have between backlogs and sprints). If you're looking at the MCS board, you'll be able to tell if a task is in-flight by noting the tags on the tasks on the boardview. For example, tags for "Mobile-App-Android-Sprint-82-Lead" and "Patch-for-Review" would indicate that a task is in-flight on Android's sprint board, and in code review. This will prevent redundancy of process, and will also let POs on each team know what their team's devs are working on without having to hunt down MCS tasks in Phab. Please reach out with any questions. Max [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mobile-content-service/

Wikipedia v5.0.5 for iOS Beta
by Joshua Minor 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hello mobile Wikimedians, *TLDR:** if you have experienced crashes with recent versions of Wikipedia for iOS, please update to the latest iOS (9.3.2). If you're a beta tester also install the new beta (5.0.5). Then tell us if you still have crashes.* Since our last feature update (5.0.3) we've seen a notable increase in crashes and instability in Wikipedia for iOS. We released a hot fix (5.0.4) which resolved some of the issues, particularly with loading the Explore feed content. However, we've needed more time to investigate, and work with Apple and other iOS developers to resolve, the largest source of crashes. In particular we urge our app users to update to the latest iOS (9.3.2) released earlier this week. This OS update has improved stability for apps using Swift, and in our case users should see an elimination of the most common type of crash. Today beta testers will also see a first release of v5.0.5 of the app. If you are a beta tester, please download the latest update from TestFlight. If this new version crashes: - Note any details of what you were doing when you experienced the crash. - Re-open the app (if you can) and wait a few seconds for the Crash Reporting prompt to pop up (if it ever does). - If the crash reporting doesn't open go to Settings > Help and feedback > and click "Report a bug" - If you can't even reopen the app cause it crashes so darn much, send me an email directly (jminor(a)wikimedia.org) I particularly want to thank our beta testers, some of whom reported issues starting in 5.0.3. We value and take your testing feedback seriously, and I apologize that we weren't able to prevent these issues despite your reports. Thanks, Josh Minor Product Manager, Reading

This second one is going through security review right now, but once that's complete we'll enable it for testing and gradual roll-out. Scoped styling of templates will let template authors make their templates work on any sized device, which will massively improve the terrible experience from templates like infoboxes, navboxes, amboxes, and especially one-off templates like those used by the Signpost. However, it'll need a concerted effort from all of us to re-write and improve all the thousands of templates across our hundreds of wikis to make this a reality. It requires judgement, æsthetics and expertise, and so isn't something that can be done automatically by software. It's a big effort, but it's going to be worth it. :-) J. -- James D.
