This is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.4.0! This pre-release version introduces quite a few new features and improvements, as well as usual bug fixes.

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

Please see below for the full changelog since the last general release. For those on TestFlight, you will receive the pre-release update once it has been approved by Apple.

Some notable changes to test out:

  • The comment creation page has been fully rebuilt to improve its overall UI. Additionally, a language selector has been added in this page if you want to specify the language of the comment. As this is a large change, please mention any issues or feedback!
  • Added options to show user/community avatars in posts/comments. To show user avatars in comments, navigate to Settings -> Appearance -> Comments. To show community avatars in posts, navigate to Settings -> Appearance -> Posts -> Post Body Settings.
  • Many slight UI/UX changes across the board, including improved loading pages for slower connections, addition of unread counts to inbox page, improvements to spoiler appearance, and much more.

Thanks again for sticking around, and please mention any bugs and issues that you encounter when using this version!
