Thanks Dmitry. Is WMF Comms going to market product updates like this? One item of feedback on the Strategic Plan was a request for a Wikipedia app, suggesting a lack of public awareness about the existing apps.

Hi everyone,

We've released a new version of the production Wikipedia Android app [1][2], which is currently rolling out to all Play Store users today. This is mostly a maintenance release, with a few welcome visual enhancements. Here's an abridged list of the updates in this release:

* Enlarged images when browsing articles
* Improved "read more" suggestions at the bottom of articles
* Enabled "Search Wikipedia" when sharing text from other apps
* Added system language support & Chinese dialects to Wikipedia language picker
* Improved appearance and consistency of article lists (History, Saved Pages, etc.)
* Improved text alignment for mixed left-to-right and right-to-left languages
* Improved page caching
* Added link to app FAQ in the "More" menu
* Various miscellaneous fixes and enhancements [3]

Stay tuned for future updates! We have some big things in store for our next release. You won't want to miss it!
