Hey everyone, sorry for the long delay but this is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.6.0! As always, this pre-release version contains many additions, changes, and fixes.
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Note: We are aware of a few visual issues with this nightly build and hope to fix them in an upcoming build. If you notice any additional visual issues, please create a new issue on GitHub.
Some notable changes to test out:
- Thunder now supports alternative link sources for posts using Archive Today, Internet Archive, and Ground News. You can access alternative link sources from the post page overflow menu, or by long pressing on a link thumbnail. Thank you to micahmo for implementing this feature!
- The post actions menu has been completely redesigned and reorganized to improve navigability and support for additional moderator actions. If you have any feedback on the new design and layout, feel free to mention it on GitHub.
- Thunder now supports additional user/moderator actions including the ability to report posts, banning/unbanning a user from a community, and adding/removing a user as a community moderator. All these actions are available when you open the post actions sheet.
- Various other improvements including support for image alternative text, quick peeking for image thumbnails, unread notification badges in the account switcher, and more!
