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.Thanks,Josh[1] - You can read about the changes we made and the reason behind the long beta in previous announce post here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mobile-l/2016-June/010254.html
