Hello mobile Wikimedians,

This beta includes the following major changes:
- New Places tab: explore Wikipedia content near you or even on the other
side of the globe. This is a major update of our geolocation based "Nearby"
feature is now called places, since it does a lot more than show you whats
nearby. Places includes a map based interface for browsing, extended geo
search capabilities, and even the ability to see where your saved articles
are located.
- New login system: totally re-written login system, including support for
password reset, accessible account creation and 2FA for Admins, with more
improvements to come before release.
- Bug fixes for issues with Share-a-Fact, face recognition and lead
images, and searching with apostrophes.
We look forward to your feedback!
Thanks,
Josh Minor
