This is the second pre-release for Thunder v0.2.1+14! There has been lot of changes here since the last pre-release to address changes with the new FAB action menu, adding support for full screen swipe to go back gestures, improvements to the general look of the feed, and much more. The upcoming pre-releases will now focus more on fixing issues introduced with the previous releases, and stability. There will most likely not be any new major features added in.

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