Edit: Hey everyone, v0.6.0-3 was released to resolve an issue with Thunder hanging at the splash screen when updating to v0.6.0-2. If you are encountering any additional issues, please open up a new issue on GitHub!

The full changelog for v0.6.0-2 is listed below.


Hey everyone, this is the second nightly release for Thunder 0.6.0! This release contains a lot of fixes to the theming changes introduced in the first nightly build, as well as other fixes and additions. A huge thanks to micahmo for finding and resolving these issues! If you notice any additional issues with regards to theming, please open up a new GitHub issue.

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

Love Thunder but this version won't open for me.

Thanks for mentioning the issue - I just released v0.6.0-3 which should hopefully resolve the issues with Thunder hanging at the splash screen. Please let me know if this resolves the issue!
