v0.2.6

Hey everyone! The upcoming update is a minor update which fixes some of the issues that were introduced in v0.2.5.

If you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This is mainly a hot-fix update to address the following issues:

ℹ General

• Fixed some issues revolving around markdown links not rendering properly (duplicated text, missing links, etc.)
• Fixed an issue where the comment text scaling setting was not being applied properly
• Fixed an issue where logging into an account with 2FA enabled was not working
• Added more compatibility with the latest Lemmy 0.19.x changes. Note that this is still not final and may break at any time as 0.19.x is still under development

We have a Matrix space if you would like to join in on discussions: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org

v0.2.5

Hey everyone! You guessed it, its time for yet another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

ℹ General

• Lemmy 0.19.x support is now partially supported on Thunder (see known issues below). This will hopefully allow for a smooth transition experience once the official Lemmy 0.19.x update is released. This also means that instance blocking and the new sort types are available to use for instances running on 0.19.x.
• More language localizations. Thanks to the community, there have been a ton of localization done on Thunder. This includes initial support for Norwegian Bokmål, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian, Finnish, and Swedish. If you want to contribute towards additional languages, feel free to reach out!
• Overall UI and UX improvements across the board including post title suggestions when creating a new post with an external URL, post and comment actions on long-press menu, trending communities on the Search page, and so much more.

⚙️ Performance

• The feed page has been reworked from the ground up to provide you with a smoother and hopefully more seamless experience. This is a more under-the-hood change so you may not notice much change to the visuals.

🎉 Features

• Anonymous profiles are now available. This allows you to add an instance and browse that instance without having to create an account or log in. To do this, simply tap on "Add Anonymous Instance" on the profile selection page and enter in the instance of your choice.
• The search page has now been revamped to include even more options, including users, posts, comments, and links. Additionally, you can adjust the sort type and the feed type to better narrow your search results.
• New sharing options for posts. When sharing posts, you now have the ability to customize what you want to share. You can share the link, the media, title, and so much more.
• For Android users, you can now set Thunder to open links by default. To do this, go to Settings -> General -> Links and select the URLs you want to open with Thunder.

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

⚠️ Known Issues

There are some known issues with this update that I’m already aware about. Theses issues were found after submitting the build to the Play Store/App Store. I’m currently working on these issues and fixes should be coming in another update sometime soon.

• Some markdown links are being parsed incorrectly. This results in some links not showing up properly, or some links showing duplicate text.
• Lemmy 0.19.x support is currently only available up to 0.19.0-rc.4. There have been some more changes since then which are being addressed.

0.2.5-1

This is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.2.5! This nightly adds a few new additions and changes to enhance your user experience. Furthermore, a lot of internal changes have been made to improve app stability and performance.

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:

• Feed page refactor - the logic powering the feed page has been completely re-written from the ground up to hopefully enable better performance and stability. As this is a major change to the underlying logic, there are bound to be issues that were missed during testing. If you notice any issues, please create a new issue on GitHub!
• Added ability to add/manage anonymous profiles. This allows you to create a profile under a given instance without having to log in.
• Added actions to post/comment long-press menu. This adds in vote and save actions to the long-press menu.
• Added support for community/person mentions when creating a new comment or post. To use this feature, simply tap on the @ or ! actions located in the markdown section when creating a new post or comment.

The next pre-release versions from this point on will be mainly focused on fixing existing issues with the feed refactor, as well as introducing support for Lemmy 0.19.x.

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