Hi everyone,

We're thrilled to bring you our latest update to the Wikipedia Android app[1][2], available now on the Google Play Store. Here are the highlights from this release:

* Tabbed browsing! Pressing-and-holding a link now lets you open it in a new tab, allowing you to keep reading the current article without losing your place, and switch to the new tab when you're ready.  This can also be done directly from Search results, Nearby results, "Similar Pages" links, and "Read More" links. To view and manage your current list of open tabs, press the Tabs button near the top-right corner, which will allow you to switch to any tab in the list, create a new tab, or close a tab.

* Language selection from the Search bar! When searching from within the app, you can now select the language of Wikipedia to be searched. By default, the Wiki language in the app is set to the system language of your Android device. But now, for our multilingual friends, you can quickly change your preferred language by pressing the button next to the Search field while searching.

* A slightly redesigned table-of-contents button: the button now appears at the bottom right of the screen, and disappears a short time after you scroll away from the top of the article. The button reappears if you start scrolling quickly, or if you reach the top of the article again. (The table of contents is also still accessible by swiping from the right edge of the screen)

Additional minor enhancements include:

* Improved error handling and presentation of error messages throughout the app.

* Improved relevance of "read more" suggestions at the bottom of articles.

* Added option to view the current page in an external browser (at the bottom of the article).

* Many more bug fixes and localization updates.[3]

Best,
