The Android team[0] is pleased to announce a new Wikipedia Android app beta release, v2.4.157-beta-2016-09-28[1]. This revision contains the following new functionality[2]:
- Access your favorite features more easily with bottom navigation: quickly jump between the Explore feed, your reading lists, your recently-viewed articles, and pages nearby you. - When reading an article, the bottom toolbar now provides access to the most popular actions (save to reading list, share, change language, find in page, and table of contents). - Reading lists and their contents are now searchable. - Fixed dark theme in the main screen.
Included in this version are patches from first time Android contributor, Neslihan Turan[3], and repeat contributor, Dan Garry[4]. Great work, devs!
You too can help make it better! Read our getting started guide[5]. We can't wait for your contributions!
