Hello everyone!
Off the really great success of Wikipedia V1.0 for Android (http://bit.ly/xvoPrR ) and its impressive roll out (http://bit.ly/A5mva7) the mobile team is now moving full speed with V1.1
For those that just want to get started you can download the new build from here:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/android/Wikipedia-v1.1-beta1.apk (http://bit.ly/zpNLyF)
We've been reading feedback as quickly as we get it and numerous features have bubbled up to the top for our next major release.
With V1.1 we've added :
- Integration with QuickSearch in Android - Open Wikipedia links from other apps in the Wikipedia App (URL Intents) - OSM replaced Google Maps for nearby view (using MapQuest tiles) - Added Did You Mean? to search results - Moved to jQuery off Zepto - Touching co-ordinates inside articles shows map overlay - Full text search - Added 'Clear History' - Added 'Clear Saved Pages' - Localized a few messages that were missing - Enable app to be saved to SD card - Major code-refactor, still needs more love :) - Improved tablet experience - Move to using Hogan.js for templating - Fixed a lot of tiny bugs!
Up-to-date changes can now be found at https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile/blob/master/CHANGELOG
While we still have a ways to go before V1.1 is ready for the market, we really need your help in testing our beta versions. We're targeting them as mostly feature complete and reasonably stable, but in no way 100% bug free. We need you to tell us where the app is crashing, misbehaving, and in general providing a poor user experience. Expect that across our alpha, beta, release candidate cycle, that your feedback can significantly alter the features that we've added.
Test this extensively and file bugs under https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia%20Mobile. Hammer on these builds mercilessly so that we can get all the kinks out before our next major market release.
Key points to test for this version
* Test the quick search box integration. Tap the 'G' to show all of your data providers. Tap the config icon at the top right of the new window. Scroll to the bottom of the 'Searchable items' menu and check 'Wikipedia' . Search for 'San Francisco' and/or any other term. Try the same with multiple languages. You may have to turn off Web searches until you train your phone to surface Wikipedia results more prominently. * Open the native web browser. Load google.com. Search for 'San Francisco'. Tap the result that points to our mobile site. The app should pop up an intent menu. Choose 'Wikipedia' as the default app. * Switch your phone to a language that is written Right to Left. Use the application as you normally would, and report anything that is not what you would expect. We now have nascent RTL UI support, and need all the testing we can possibly get * Tap near by in the App. Navigate around the map and select whatever pins you might see. Tap a pin to go to the article detail page * Search for 'Mumbai' in the App search bar. Go to the article. Scroll to the bottom of the info box. Tap the GPS coordinate. You should then see a map with geographically related articles * Search for 'Charile Sava' in the App search bar. Note that no relevant match shows up. Tap the magnifying glass to the a full text search and note that 'Ann curtis' comes up * Search for 'San Francisko' . Note that the app catches the misspelling and offers up 'San Francisco' as a spelling correction. Tap the spelling correction to go to the article * In the app tap menu, history, and top right X button to clear your browsing history * In the app tap menu, saved pages, and top right X button to clear your saved pages * Starting from the home screen tap menu, manage apps, scroll to 'Wikipedia'. Tap move to USB storage. * All of our test cases from V1.0 - http://bit.ly/vpbhQe * .. and whatever else you may want try out

There are bound to be bugs but don't think that someone will file them for you. If you don't file it then chances are that we won't know it's an issue. If you're not sure of whether it's a bug or not, then come join us on #wikimedia-mobile (freenode) and we'll sort it out.

Some more map issues:
* load 'San Francisco' article * click on geo coords to load map * go back * load 'Los Angeles' article * click on geo coords to load map
Testing on my Galaxy Nexus (flickery) and on my Kindle Fire (non-flicker), the map when loaded again seems messed up, like it's trying to show the tiles offscreen to the left.
Rotating the tablet to change orientation appears to reinitialize things and it shows ok.

When open Nearby pages, here in São Paulo the points on the map never stops, change place a lot

Hi, all!
Someone sent me a youtube clip on collaborative editing. I also want to share you with mobile guys.

Very cool. This is why i'm so eager for the visual editor team to get to their first production release. Their work will lay the foundation for future editing like this.
