Hi everyone,
We're pleased to release our latest update to the Wikipedia Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia&hl=en, now available on the Google Play store. We may have missed a release email to this list for our previous minor release, so here is a cumulative list of highlights since our last update:
* *Suggested edits*: The app now has a screen (accessible from the left navigation menu) that offers suggestions for items to edit. For this initial release, this is limited to adding and translating Wikidata descriptions. In future updates, this will be expanded to suggest other types of edits.
Note that this feature must be "unlocked" to be accessible: you'll need to add or edit at least five (5) Wikidata descriptions in the usual way (using the edit icon while reading an article), then wait a while to make sure your edits are not reverted. The app will then notify you when the feature is unlocked.
* *Improved editing interface*: The article editing screen has a number of new conveniences, including the ability to change the font size of the wikitext window, the ability to find text within the wikitext window, and a series of "syntax" buttons at the bottom, to simplify adding or modifying the wikitext syntax at the cursor, as well as "undo" and "redo" buttons.
* *Sepia theme*: As usual, you can change the app's theme in Settings, or from the bottom toolbar while reading an article.
* *"Continue reading" bar*: When browsing the Feed, or looking at your reading lists, you will now see a "continue reading" bar at the bottom that displays your current topmost tab, along with the total number of open tabs you currently have.
* *Enhanced table of contents control*: The table of contents now features a circular "thumb" scroller that you can hold down and drag to scroll quickly through different sections of the article, while highlighting the section that is currently in focus.
* *Improved search in reading lists*: Searching within the Reading Lists screen will now match results from individual articles in any of your reading lists, as well as the names of reading lists themselves.
Check it out, and happy reading (and editing)! Cheers,
Woo! Congratulations on all of these great new features and updates!

Congratulations, Android team!
The TOC improvements make it super intuitive and I just got my "suggested edits" feed turned on and love it.
Great job, everyone!!

We may have missed a release email to this list for our previous minor release, so here is a cumulative list of highlights since our last update:
- *Suggested edits*: The app now has a screen (accessible from the
left navigation menu) that offers suggestions for items to edit. For this initial release, this is limited to adding and translating Wikidata descriptions. In future updates, this will be expanded to suggest other types of edits.
Note that this feature must be "unlocked" to be accessible: you'll need to add or edit at least five (5) Wikidata descriptions in the usual way (using the edit icon while reading an article), then wait a while to make sure your edits are not reverted. The app will then notify you when the feature is unlocked.
- *Improved editing interface*: The article editing screen has a
number of new conveniences, including the ability to change the font size of the wikitext window, the ability to find text within the wikitext window, and a series of "syntax" buttons at the bottom, to simplify adding or modifying the wikitext syntax at the cursor, as well as "undo" and "redo" buttons.
- *Sepia theme*: As usual, you can change the app's theme in
Settings, or from the bottom toolbar while reading an article.
- *"Continue reading" bar*: When browsing the Feed, or looking at
your reading lists, you will now see a "continue reading" bar at the bottom that displays your current topmost tab, along with the total number of open tabs you currently have.
- *Enhanced table of contents control*: The table of contents now
features a circular "thumb" scroller that you can hold down and drag to scroll quickly through different sections of the article, while highlighting the section that is currently in focus.
- *Improved search in reading lists*: Searching within the Reading
Lists screen will now match results from individual articles in any of your reading lists, as well as the names of reading lists themselves.
Check it out, and happy reading (and editing)! Cheers,
