iOS Status
Last week we released 3.9 debuting the app’s new tabbed interface, including lots of optimization and bug fixes.
Since its release we’ve become aware of a handful of bugs including one regarding a post’s publish date, and one where the app forgets the last viewed tab when reopening.
We’re currently focused on getting 3.9.1 released to address these urgent issues and expect to submit to Apple later this week.
Android Status
We released 2.6 last Thursday. There are a handful of bugs (about 10 exceptions) we’re working on for a 2.6.1 release later this week.
Team Rep
Last week we acknowledged we were due to re-up our team reps and we called for volunteers. @irbrad and @astralbodies have both expressed interest and will be taking the reigns as reps for the mobile team going forward. Congrats guys!
This Week
iOS: Complete fixes for 3.9.1 and submit to Apple. Begin work on 3.9.2.
Android: Complete fixes for 2.6.1 and release to the Play store.

Android Status
Started QA last week and found some bugs, especially on Android 2.3. Most are fixed, waiting on the last few to be merged in and then we’ll do another round. Plausible release date looks like Jan 30.
iOS Status
V. 3.9 was approved by Apple but we’re holding the release until Thursday which should make for a nice set of releases across platforms. 3.9.1 is next and will as usual be focused on fixing smaller issues and bugs, shooting for mid-February for a release there.
Team Rep Elections
@aerych brought up the fact that we’re a little over a month overdue when it comes to electing new team reps to represent the mobile group and help with the administrative tasks mainly. We’ll work in this over the next week and announce new team reps next week.
This Week
Android: wrap up fixes and push 2.6 out the door. Set goals for v. 2.7.
iOS: start working on version 3.9.1 which will contain a number of important fixes. (And of course announcing 3.9 this coming Thursday.)
