So in the future, we'll probably have more 'progressive enhancement' with additional uploading & media features in supporting browsers, and that'll get rolled into our "app" entry in the Firefox Marketplace replacing the current Wikipedia reader app. (The Commons uploader apps may or may not eventually roll into the main Wikipedia app on iOS and Android too, we haven't decided for sure yet.) -- brion > > > > 2013/8/20 Risker <risker...@gmail.com> > > > On 20 August 2013 16:57, Brion Vibber <bvib...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > > > > > We have just released Commons for iOS (version 1.0.8) and Android > > > (1.0beta11), with *major* UI and performance improvements on iOS and > > minor > > > bug fixes on Android. > > > > > > This is our first release in a couple months on iOS -- we hoped to have > > one > > > out before Wikimania but were delayed due to problems with Apple's > online > > > developer tools being offline for a while.
