>> We're pleased to release our latest update to the Wikipedia Android app

>> We may have missed a release email to this list for our previous minor

>>
>> * *Suggested edits*: The app now has a screen (accessible from the left

>> Note that this feature must be "unlocked" to be accessible: you'll need

>> (using the edit icon while reading an article), then wait a while to make
>> sure your edits are not reverted. The app will then notify you when the
>> feature is unlocked.
>>
>> * *Improved editing interface*: The article editing screen has a number
>> of new conveniences, including the ability to change the font size of the
>> wikitext window, the ability to find text within the wikitext window, and a
>> series of "syntax" buttons at the bottom, to simplify adding or modifying
>> the wikitext syntax at the cursor, as well as "undo" and "redo" buttons.
>>
>> * *Sepia theme*: As usual, you can change the app's theme in Settings,
>> or from the bottom toolbar while reading an article.
>>
>> * *"Continue reading" bar*: When browsing the Feed, or looking at your
>> reading lists, you will now see a "continue reading" bar at the bottom that
>> displays your current topmost tab, along with the total number of open tabs
>> you currently have.
>>
>> * *Enhanced table of contents control*: The table of contents now
>> features a circular "thumb" scroller that you can hold down and drag to
>> scroll quickly through different sections of the article, while
>> highlighting the section that is currently in focus.
>>
>> * *Improved search in reading lists*: Searching within the Reading Lists
>> screen will now match results from individual articles in any of your
>> reading lists, as well as the names of reading lists themselves.
>>
>>
>> Check it out, and happy reading (and editing)!
>> Cheers,
