Good news, everyone! We've just released a new production version of the Wikipedia Android App to the Google Play Store. Here are some of the major highlights:
- Nearby: Learn more about what's around you by getting links to articles about things that are near your current location. (Location services are used only by this feature) - Added a one-time Table of Contents tutorial screen. - Rolled up "page issues" boxes into a link that shows them as a popup dialog. - Rolled up disambiguation links into a single link that shows them as a popup list. - Frequently-used languages are now kept at the top of the list, for easier selection. - Improved page loading speed and data usage by using compression in network requests. - Updated language translations. - Numerous miscellaneous bug fixes.
As always, you can download the app through the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia
...or download the APK directly: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/android/wikipedia/stable/wikipedia-2.0...
