iOS Status

The 3.7.1 bug fix went out and fixed the crash issues for most people, but some are still experiencing it — we’re investigating.

We’ve wrapped up the major work needed for the iOS7/MP6-ification release, now doing some polishing and fixing and hoping to submit by early next week.

Progress has been made towards a visual editor but we’ll wait to put it in until an upcoming release.

The theme switching release for WordPress.com blogs is pretty much done as well, we’re looking to do some testing but if it all goes well it may make it into the next major release of WordPress for iOS.

Android Status

Themes + Media should be feature complete by the end of this week, should hit beta beginning of next week. NUX (welcome guide, better log in/sign up) is now 75% complete.

Post searching and a pull to refresh (a la the new Gmail client) was added by @aagam94. Woot!

Handbook Status

We had a goal to wrap up the Mobile Handbook by the end of August. Unfortunately this didn’t happen, there are still 13 pages marked as drafts, but we got very close. We’ll now wrap up the remaining bits this week. We’re almost 3/4 of the way there — if you have a page that’s still a draft, please get it done ASAP.

This Week

  • Android Themes + Media: some fixes and testing, beta next week
  • iOS 7/MP6-ification: do final polish, submit beginning of next week
  • Wrap up remaining pages in the Handbook
  • Trac purge: we’re going through and removing/cleaning up old Trac tickets across the iOS and Android projects and moving over what we can to Github Issues
