Releases: commons-app/apps-android-commons
Version 5.1.0
What's Changed
- Enhanced upload queue management in the Commons app for smoother, sequential processing, clearer progress tracking, prevention of stuck or duplicate uploads. As part of this improvement, the "Limited Connection mode" has been removed. This was contributed by @kanahia1 via GSoC in #5752
- Added an option in "Nearby" feature enabling users to provide feedback on Wikidata items. Users can report if an item doesn’t exist, is at a different location, or has other issues, with submissions tagged for easy tracking and updates. Contributed by @kanahia1 via GSoC in #5740
- Improved the "Nearby" feature by splitting the query into two parts for faster loading and better performance, especially in areas with dense amount of places. This update also resolves issues with pins overlapping place names by @kanahia1 in #5731
- Upgraded AGP and target/compile SDK to 34 and make necessary adjustments to the app such as adding "Partial Access" support. Also includes some minor refactoring, and replacement of deprecated circular progress bars. This was contributed by @rohit9625 in #5790
- Fixed an issue where editing depictions removed all other structured data from images. Now, only depictions are updated, preserving other associated data by @rohit9625 in #5741
- Fixed an UI issue where the 'Subcategories' and 'Parent Categories' tabs appeared blank in the Category Details screen. Resolved by optimizing view binding handling in the parent fragments. This was contributed by @thesarangal in #5830
- Fixed *map centering in the image upload flow to use GPS EXIF tag location from pictures and ensured "Show in map app" accurately reflects this location. This was contributed by @Jason-Whitmore in #5767
- Fixed navigation after uploading via Nearby by directing users to the Uploads activity instead of returning to Nearby, preventing confusion about needing to upload again by @whe128 in #5874
Bug fixes and various changes
- Improved the "Nearby" feature to fetch labels based on the user's preferred language instead of defaulting to English by @ChristoJobyAntony in #5858
- Added a legend to the "Nearby" feature indicating pin statuses: red for items without pictures, green for those with pictures, and grey for items being checked. A floating action button now allows users to toggle the legend's visibility. This was contributed by @hannagnourt in #5881
- Fixed an issue where the "Nominate for deletion" option is shown to logged out users, preventing app errors and crashes by @djbloop in #5773
- Updated the regex pattern that filters categories with an year in it to also filter the 2020s by @mnalis in #5761
- Fix an issue where past depictions were not shown as suggestions, despite being saved correctly by @rohit9625 in #5792
- Fixed an issue in custom image picker where exiting the media preview showed only the first image and cleared selections. Now, previously selected images are restored correctly after exiting the preview. This was contributed by @LachlanMajor in #5866
- Fixed an issue in custom image picker where scrolling behavior did not maintain position after exiting fullscreen preview, ensuring users remain at the same point in their image roll unless actioned images are filtered. This was contributed by @lzhan0121 in #5880
- Fixed Nearby map not showing new pins on map move by removing the 2000m scroll threshold and adding an 800ms debounce for smoother pin updates when the map is moved. Queued searches are now canceled on fragment destruction by @tristan81 in #5843
- Revised author information retrieval to emphasize the custom author name from the metadata instead of the default registered username by @lzh12311 in #5860
- Enhanced notification classification to properly identify "email" type notifications and prompting users to check their e-mail inbox when such notifications are clicked. This was contributed by @ErenratZeng in #5865
- Resolved a bug in the language chooser that incorrectly greyed-out previously selected languages, ensuring only the current language is non-selectable during image upload by @cambo14 in #5883
- Resolved pin color update issue in "Nearby" feature where the pin colour failed to be updated after a successful image upload by @ChristoJobyAntony in #5864

v5.0.1
v5.0.0
Beware: The release variants don't work in this version due to a problem with the ProGuard rules. This has been fixed and tagged as v5.0.1
What's Changed
-
Redesigned the map feature to replace Mapbox with the osmdroid library. Key elements like pin visualization and user-centered display are still included in this redesign. This is done to guard against possible misuse of the Mapbox token and, more crucially, to keep the app from becoming dependent on a service that charges for usage but offers a free tier. @kanahia1 contributed to this in #5403 #5443 #5475 #5555 #5631.
@tamojitdas made a contribution by fixing the test failures brought on by this modification. Refer to #5536.
@rohit9625 contributed by enabling the app to retrieve map tiles from Wikimedia maps. Refer to #5417.
@k-rajesh contributed by removing MapBox from CREDITS. Refer to #5617.
-
Add the ability to export locations of nearby missing pictures in GPX and KML formats. This allows users to browse the locations with desired radius for offline use in their favourite map apps like OsmAnd or Maps.me, enhancing accessibility and offline functionality. This change was contributed by @kanahia1 in #5645
-
Limited the uploads via the custom image picker to a maximum of 20. This change was contributed by @u7469570 in #5369
-
Added two menu choices for transparent image backgrounds, giving users the option of either a black or white background, increasing adaptability to various theme settings. User customization option has been provided with the ability to save background color selections permanently on a per image basis. This change was contributed by @Pierre-Monier in #5394
-
Implemented functionality to automatically resume uploads that become stuck due to app termination or device reboot. This change was contributed by @RitikaPahwa4444 in #5399
-
Added a compass arrow in the Nearby banner shown in the "Contributions" screen to guide users towards the nearest item, thus providing the missing directional cues. The arrow dynamically adjusts based on device rotation, aligning with the calculated bearing towards the target location. Further, the distance and direction are updated as the user moves. This change was contributed by @ShashwatKedia in #5433 #5459
-
Implemented voice input feature for caption and description fields, enabling users to dictate text directly into these fields. This change was contributed by @kanahia1 in #5415
-
Improved various flows in the app to redirect users to the login page and display a persistent message if their session becomes invalid due to a password change, enhancing user guidance and security measures. This change was contributed by @shashankiitbhu in #5544 #5643
Revamps and refactorings

- Replaced Butterknife with ViewBinding in various places of the app. This change which fixes #4664 was contributed by @psh @shashankiitbhu @neeldoshii and @ShashwatKedia in #5379 #5380 #5382 #5383 #5594 #5591 #5592 #5593 #5590 #5506 #5601 #5604 #5606 #5607 #5659 #5396 #5425 #5426 #5446 #5660 #5595
- Transferred essential code from the redundant data-client module to the main Commons app code, enabling its integration and facilitating the removal of the redundant module. Further, convert various parts of the code to Kotlin. This change was contributed by @psh in #5463 #5465 #5471 #5476 #5472 #5496 #5499 #5507 #5484 #5479 #5491 #5530 #5567 #5568
