[WikimediaMobile] [Apps] New Android production release

[Dmitry Brant]

 Hi everyone,

We've released our latest update to the Wikipedia Android app
, now
available on the Google Play store. (For devices without Google Play
services, you may download

 the app directly)

This is a maintenance update that addresses a few minor issues and bugs:

* Respect the new {{shortdescription}} template in articles (no longer
offer to edit the Wikidata description if a local article description is
present).
* Fix possible latency issues due to incorrect cookie handling.
* Fix possible errors when synchronizing reading lists (when adding
articles from external deep links).


Cheers,

--
