After a very quick review turnaround by Apple, we're pleased to announce the release of version 5.0.3 of Wikipedia for iOS.

The update should be available in the App Store shortly.

Mega thanks to Rita, Corey and Monte (the WMF iOS team) and our volunteer contributors, testers and supporters. 

Cheers,

Josh

Hello again, the issues with our initial distribution have been resolved and the real beta release is now available via TestFlight for registered testers. 

Apologies for the release snafu, and the extra email.

Have a great weekend,

Josh

Sorry, all. Looks like there is an issue with the distribution. We're removing the update from beta, but if you've updated and cannot start up the app, please delete this version and re-install from iTunes.

I'll let you know when we've resolved the issue and re-pushed the new version. 

Apologies,

Josh

Hello mobile Wikimedians,

The iOS team is glad to announce a second beta release for the upcoming 5.0.3 version of the app. 

5.0.3 is a minor release to address bugs and usability issues reported by users. We've fixed the Main Pages so that they update as expected, patched an issue with log-ins and fixed some crashes, especially with image display.

In addition to bug fixes, this release also adds text size adjustment for articles, supports iPad split-view multi-tasking, and gives users much more control over language preferences (including re-order and deletion). We also enabled support for Myanmar (my) and Khmer (km) language Wikipedias.

This is our release candidate build for this version, so if you are a beta tester please take a moment to install from TestFlight soon. Testers can provide feedback at this form: http://goo.gl/forms/rLVmFLzus2  Oh, or just respond to this email...

If you are not a tester but want to be, please sign up here: http://goo.gl/forms/eAN1qjcm7I

Thanks,

Wikimedia Foundation iOS team
