Hello mobile Wikimedians,

Today we've released a *major* update of the Wikipedia app to the app
store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wikipedia/id324715238?mt=8

This update includes our most requested feature: dark reading mode!

Its just one of several new appearance options, including dark and sepia
color modes, image dimming and convenient screen brightness control.

This release also includes a new "On this day" card in the Explore feed for
four initial languages (English, German, French and Swedish). On this day
is built on the rich anniversary pages[1] and selected anniversaries[2]
available on many Wikipedias, to highlight important events that occurred
on this date. Tap through for a timeline view and swipe back through
history!

The update also includes a small sticker pack for iMessage. We worked with
the Wikimedia Foundation's Communications team to create a set of public
domain stickers[3], so you can send wiki memes in texts. Now you can tell
your friends "citation needed!" in a group chat :)

Thanks to our testers and translators. And mega thanks to users yangand and
julbod for their code patches.

Thanks,
Josh Minor
PM, Wikipedia app for iOS
