This is the second pre-release for Thunder v0.2.1+13! The main focus for the upcoming nightlies will be fixing any outstanding issues and bugs that were introduced previously. There will most likely be no more new features 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.

These are the changes that have occurred since the last pre-release:

  • Added Matrix space to about page
  • Fixed broken show link preview option in settings - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Added initial support for custom themes/accents
  • Added haptic feedback when long pressing on a comment - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Added width/height limit on comment images, and adjustments to comment button actions - contribution from @CTalvio
  • Added sidebars to user profiles and community pages - contribution from @CTalvio
  • Fixed broken show link preview option in settings - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Added blur to external link previews - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Improvements to tap + slide zoom gesture when previewing images - contribution from @CTalvio
  • Downloaded images are now saved in a separate directory/album - contribution from @njshockey
  • Material You theme setting is hidden on non-android devices
  • Comment child count now counts total replies rather than total top level replies contribution from @micahmo
  • Added account settings to manage blocked communities and users - contribution from @micahmo
  • Added very basic initial support for localization
  • Added ability to subscribe to communities without being logged in - contribution from @vbh
  • Added options to show post author, and community icons within the feed - contribution from @sant0s12
  • Desktop builds will always use external browser - contribution from @micahmo
  • Added option to disable NSFW content - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Fixed issue where swiping on a comment would cause text to overflow on top of the comment indicators - contribution from @ajsosa
  • Added long-press action on image viewer to show image-only mode - contribution from @CTalvio

Nice! Thank you. Swipe to open the sidebar is not working for me in this release.

[-] darklightxi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Noted, I’ll take a look at it!

Navbar swipe has stopped working for me on this one.

[-] gon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Colour themes aren't working properly for me, and the "All Posts" feed isn't loading poperly (only 9 posts load)...

Could you elaborate a bit more?

What instance are you on? I have not been able to reproduce this issue unfortunately

Regarding the theme, @BinarySystem@lemmy.world already answered that themes don't work with Material You!

As for the feed, I'm on Lemmy.world... It fixed itself after a while, and hasn't happened again as of yet. My internet connection was good, and other feeds (Subscriptions, Local) worked fine.

One thing to note with custom themes is that it doesn't work with material you on.

[-] gon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you!!

[-] BinarySystem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was just as confused as you were at first ha ha. Definitely something we can make clearer in the settings.

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

The community sidebar needs its own element for screen readers. Right now its part of the element that gives the name, logo, subscribers, etc.

[-] darklightxi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm, I can take a look at it but I’m not sure how easily fixable it’ll be for the upcoming release

Is the APK corrupt? When I tried to installed it, I got "problem parsing package", then it tried it again, it looks like it's installing and says "app not installed"

Edit: uninstalled the existing app and then it worked. Would be really nice to have a settings export/import option so you don't have to add your accounts and redo all your settings every time.

That’s a good idea, could you make it into an issue on GitHub? Thanks!
