The Android team[0] is happy to announce a new Wikipedia Android app beta release, v2.0.111-beta-2015-09-16[1]. This revision contains the following fixes and enhancements[2]:
* Improved image backgrounds in dark mode * Full roll out of link previews to all beta users! * Find in page UX improvements * Fixed link sharing on Gingerbread devices * Better heuristics for when link preview is shown * Miscellaneous minor UI tweaks and fixes * Several crash fixes
