Big day for Wikipedia apps. First, big congrats to the Android team on today's awesome update!

On iOS, after a long beta testing period[1], focusing on improving performance and reducing crashes and instability, we've released the 5.0.5 version of Wikipedia to the App Store.

We expect users will see:

 - less hangs or failures to load on the Explore feed

 - full AuthManager support and stable account log in and creation

 - use less device resources, espeically when backgrounded and in our backups

 - most importantly, less crashes!!

We also fixed over a two dozen other bugs and usability issues, large and small.

Thanks to our volunteers (particularly thanks to huayu0723, bart-kneepkens and gregggreg2 for their code contributions, and josve05a for his invaluable help with OTRS and testing). I also want to thank our beta testers, who put in extra effort on this version to help us find and diagnose stability issues.
