Hi all,
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:
* Support for animated images throughout the app (image gallery, lead
images, search results, etc).
* When saving media from the gallery, the files are now downloaded in their
original form and resolution to your device's external memory, and made
available in the device's Gallery app.
* Improved memory consumption in the app when browsing lots of pages and
images.
* Improvements to the networking layer and stability.
* Fixed account creation without an email address.
* Fixed ability to copy large amounts of text to the clipboard.
* Numerous miscellaneous bug and crash fixes.
Thanks to the following contributors for their patches:
* Yuvi Panda
* Dan Garry (Deskana)
* Justin Du (MtDu)
* You?[3]
