Edit: A new hotfix version (v0.7.0-4) has been released to resolve an issue with Thunder crashing when custom post metadata items are set.

Below are the full details regarding the latest pre-release version!


Hey everyone! This is the third pre-release for Thunder v0.7.0. Like the previous pre-releases, this update focuses primarily on under-the-hood improvements to Thunder. We're nearing the end of the nightly releases for v0.7.0, and will soon be releasing the full v0.7.0 for general availability. As such, please report any issues that you encounter when running this version!

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly. The full list of changes since v0.7.0-2 are mentioned below. As always, if there are any bugs or issues, please submit a new GitHub issue.
