Hello mobile Wikimedians,

The iOS team is excited to announce that v5.5.0 of the Wikipedia app for
iOS is now available in the app store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wikipedia/id324715238?mt=8

This is a MAJOR update with tons of bug fixes and improvements. Highlights
include:

   - New Places tab lets you find Wikipedia articles about places near you,
   or across the globe. Use maps to find the most interesting articles next
   door, or anywhere your curiosity takes you.
   - Quick search box on the Explore screen lets you easily access the
   search menu to find the information you need, now.
   - Streamlined "In the News" design, makes it easier to learn more about
   what’s happening around the world.
   - Updated Explore design makes discovering new content even easier.
   Added "infinite" scroll so you can catch up on what you missed just by
   scrolling down.
   - Clear app caches from the Settings menu, to reclaim storage the
   Wikipedia app takes on your device.
   - Overall performance improvements mean faster loading and smoother
   scrolling

As usual I'd like to thank our beta volunteers, translatewiki localizers
and all the folks that participated in user feedback rounds. I also want to
particularly thank volunteer contributor NHarateh for her several patches
on this version!

Thanks,
Josh Minor
PM, Wikipedia for iOS
