This is the fifth and final pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+12! This nightly fixes some issues introduced in the last pre-releases, and adds a few new features. The main focus for the upcoming nightlies will be fixing any outstanding issues and bugs that were introduced previously. No more new features will be added in the nightlies until the next general release

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

The main things to look for are for bugs bugs and more bugs. There were a lot of new features introduced over the past few nightlies and with them come potential bugs. So do your best and look for any bugs that someone may experience!

When will we get different app icons?

[–] darklightxi 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This might take a bit more time before we can add it in. The caveat with this is that we have to handle it for both iOS and Android devices which is what makes it a bit more tricky!

Cant wait,current icon is cool but its always better to have choice.

That double tap feed to return to top is super useful

Finally sort by top hours!

You should add a warning that deleting the local database logs you out of all your accounts

Good idea, I’ll add in something at the top of the debug menu which warns users about the potential actions that may occur. I do feel like the debug menu itself is a bit self-explanatory and users would normally just stay away from it unless necessary!
