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]
