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!
