Hi everyone,

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:

- Synchronize theme and font options across devices for logged-in users.[*] - Restore and improve pinch-to-zoom functionality in image gallery. - Update the Settings screen with Material design. - Further improve memory usage and fix memory leaks on certain devices. - Improve network data usage when retrieving certain thumbnails. - Show link preview thumbnails even when only one or two are available. - Miscellaneous bug and crash fixes.

Thanks to the following contributors for their patches: * Maroloccio (@maroloccio) * Paladox * You?[3]

[*] On devices with Android versions earlier than Marshmallow (6.0), this requires the app to ask for a new permission upon installing, namely the "Identity" permission. This permission is necessary for any kind of synchronizing interactions with remote accounts (a feature which we plan on expanding in future updates). For more information, please refer to our FAQ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Android_FAQ#Security_and_Permissions .
