v0.4.0-3

This is the third pre-release for Thunder v0.4.0! This pre-release version introduces experimental support for videos, and many other changes and bug fixes. This will be the last pre-release containing new features as the upcoming pre-releases will mainly focus on fixing any existing issues that come up to prepare for a 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.

Some notable changes to test out:

• There is now experimental support for videos - Thunder should now be able to play most videos (including YouTube videos) within the app. Thanks to @ggichure for implementing this! As videos are still experimental, please submit any issues you find on GitHub.
• You can now switch between users when creating a comment. This feature should work as long as the comment is federated to the other account's instance. Big thanks to @micahmo for implementing this feature!
• There have been some tweaks to the UI for the account page and user management pages. Thanks to @CTalvio for working on this.
