[WikimediaMobile] [Apps] Wikipedia for iOS 5.0.5 released to App Store

2016-07-28 Thread Joshua Minor
Hello mobile wikimedians,

Big day for Wikipedia apps. First, big congrats to the Android team on
today's awesome update!

On iOS, after a long beta testing period[1], focusing on improving
performance and reducing crashes and instability, we've released the 5.0.5
version of Wikipedia to the App Store.

We expect users will see:
 - less hangs or failures to load on the Explore feed
 - full AuthManager support and stable account log in and creation
 - use less device resources, espeically when backgrounded and in our
backups
 - most importantly, less crashes!!

We also fixed over a two dozen other bugs and usability issues, large and
small.

Thanks to our volunteers (particularly thanks to huayu0723, bart-kneepkens
and gregggreg2 for their code contributions, and josve05a for his
invaluable help with OTRS and testing). I also want to thank our beta
testers, who put in extra effort on this version to help us find and
diagnose stability issues.

Thanks,
Josh
