Hi everyone,
Often someone will ask the question "Hey, when was feature X released?". It's really important that we keep this information logged. So that we have this information, we have a release history page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile/Release_history#Native_Wikipedia_Apps to serve as a one stop shop for this information. But it's a bit out of date right now.
I'd like to propose that whenever someone pushes out a build to the App Store or to Google Play, that person takes 5 minutes afterwards to fill in this table for posterity.
Notably, the iOS app section is totally blank. It'd be great to get this filled in. :-)
Thanks, Dan
Dan,
I saw the Trello card for this and added the missing entry for the last production release yesterday. We probably don't need a separate column for app submitted vs. in store on Android since it's available within a few hours.
What happened to the description of the older (PhoneGap) releases?
Thanks, Bernd

Thanks for updating the table!
Sure, we can remove the "app submitted" column. Its presence is an artefact of what the table looked like before I got my hands on it [1]; it used to have both iOS and Android releases in the same table so the column was needed.
What happened to the description of the older (PhoneGap) releases?
I only had a few minutes to spare when I was editing the table, so I just ripped them out of the table completely. They're still in the page history [1], and I intend to add them back under the "Retired" section (which will probably be its own subpage, so it doesn't clutter the main page) when I get a chance.
Thanks, Dan
