Hello,

Now, in the app store, version 5.7.3 of Wikipedia for iOS:
https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/view
Software?id=324715238&mt=8

In addition to a lot of small bug fixes, this version includes a handful of
appearance improvements:

   - New "Black" reading theme, perfect for saving power on OLED devices
   - Appearance option to have info boxes open by default (thanks to
   volunteer Aclaussen!)
   - Hiding of the top navigation bar while reading, to make more
   uncluttered reading space

You should also see faster article loading and less data use, thanks to
lazy loading of images and other page loading improvements. Now images are
only downloaded when about to be displayed (or saved). Extra big thanks to
the Readers Web and Android teams who pioneered this change for all our
users. With this release all the mobile Wikipedia experiences share this
great improvement [1].

Extra big thanks to contributors Aclaussen and Onlyrandomness for their
code patches. And our usual thanks to our testers and translators.

Happy holidays,
Josh Minor
PM, Wikipedia for iOS
