Hi everyone,

We're excited to bring you an updated version of the Wikipedia Android app
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia&hl=en>, now
available on the Google Play store [1]!  Here are the highlights from this
release (or browse the complete change history
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/APAW/history/master/;r/2.7.221-r-2017-12-08>
):

- The Explore feed is now fully customizable! Access the customization
screen from the overflow menu in the feed or in each card, and make the
feed your own: enable or disable the types of cards you want to see, and
rearrange the order in which they are shown.

- New and improved Randomizer: tap the Randomizer card in the Explore feed,
and swipe through random article previews from Wikipedia, without
navigating to the full article right away. Try it out!

- On This Day: the Explore feed now contains cards with a selected
historical event that happened on the current day of the year. Tap the card
to see a full-screen view of all events from history that occurred on this
day.

- Black theme: we've heard your feedback, and added a black theme in
addition to the current light and dark themes. Perfect for AMOLED displays
and nighttime reading, this provides a fully black background throughout
most of the app.

- Plenty of minor enhancements and bug fixes.
