The Android team[0] is pleased to announce a new Wikipedia Android app beta release, v2.1.143-beta-2016-03-16[1]. This revision contains the following new fixes and functionality[2]:
- Update the settings screen with Material design. - Fix a crash bug when leaving the edit screen. - Show link preview thumbnails even when only one or two are available. - Reduce overly large thumbnails and improve network data usage. - Add tool tip hints to clear search history and clear input. - Fix a database crash bug when upgrading from certain versions of the app. - Fix a bug where the loading icon was never dismissed on short pages. - Add the app's own license to the licensing screen.
Included in this version are patches from first time contributors, maroloccio[3] and paladox[4], and repeat contributor Dan Garry[5]. Good job, devs!
