iOS Summary

3.8.4 was finally submitted to Apple for review, it was stuck in QA for quite some time. Meanwhile work has progressed towards the next bug fix update, 3.8.5. We’ll try to wrap it up as quickly as possible so as to pick up the release pace (3.8.4 took much longer than expected).

Beyond bug fixes, some exciting things are happening in the 3.9 release milestone, the UI is being simplified and a tab bar interface is being considered as well as general clean up and big performance improvements.

Android Summary

We released 2.5 last week! Some problems with Stats + Jetpack, and some users didn’t like the new look but overall a smooth release. Bugs and UI fixes are going into 2.5.1 which is now in QA — help test!

2.6 is the next big release with the new NUX flow and the native WordPress.com Reader. We’re finetuning these to be in better sync with the iOS app, expect a beta within a few weeks.

Handbook

The whole handbook is now ready or ready to be reviewed with the exception of the iOS section. @sendhil has promised once again to take a look.

This Week

  • iOS: get 3.8.5 ready! [and keep working on 3.9]
  • Android: QA test 2.5.1, continue 2.6 development
