Hi all,
We've just released an updated version of the Wikipedia Android app[1][2], rolling out as we speak to the Google Play store! Here are the highlights from this update:
* Support for animated images throughout the app (image gallery, lead images, search results, etc). * When saving media from the gallery, the files are now downloaded in their original form and resolution to your device's external memory, and made available in the device's Gallery app. * Improved memory consumption in the app when browsing lots of pages and images. * Improvements to the networking layer and stability. * Fixed account creation without an email address. * Fixed ability to copy large amounts of text to the clipboard. * Numerous miscellaneous bug and crash fixes.
Thanks to the following contributors for their patches: * Yuvi Panda * Dan Garry (Deskana) * Justin Du (MtDu) * You?[3]
