Hi all, We are delighted to announce that our IEG renewal application for the Commons app <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.free.nrw.commons>[1] has been approved! Thank you so much to everyone who supported us – reading all of the wonderful comments on our proposal has been extremely meaningful and encouraging for us.
We have been hard at work getting version 2.6 of the app out; there was a bit of a rocky start with the first few beta iterations, but we finally have v2.6.5 in production. \o/ Several UI improvements have been made in the current version: - New login screen - New design for the list of nearby places that need pictures - New navigation drawer design with username displayed - The upload screen has been remodeled to include tooltips for title and description fields, as well as an explicit copyright declaration and a link to Commons policies - Improved media details view with links to the selected license, categories and image coordinates Other improvements include: - Category search - fixed major bugs, improved ordering and filter for categories - The "nearby places that need pictures" feature has improved GPS and refresh handling - Several privacy improvements - new privacy policy, switched to using Wikimedia maps server instead of Mapbox, and removed event logging - Reduced memory leaks and battery usage; fixed multiple other crashes and bugs - Various improvements to navigation flow and backstack - Added option for users to send logs to developers (has to be manually activated by user) For more information on the new version, recent screenshots, and upload/deletion statistics for 2017, please see this blog post <https://cookiesandcodeblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/24/commons-app-update-version-2-6/>[2]. Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are always welcome on our GitHub page <https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons>[3]. Cheers, and happy holidays. :) Best regards, Josephine (@misaochan) [1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.free.nrw.commons [2] https://cookiesandcodeblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/24/commons-app-update-version-2-6/ [3] https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons
