Hey everyone! This is the second pre-release for Thunder v0.7.0. This build brings a ton of fixes and under-the-hood changes as we continue preparing Thunder for the upcoming Lemmy API updates. As mentioned previously, the next few pre-releases will focus on similar foundational work as there’s still a lot of work left to do.

Note: With so many internal changes, this build may be a bit more unstable than previous ones. If you come across any bugs or issues, please report them on GitHub!

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 v0.7.0-1 are mentioned below. As always, if there are any bugs or issues, please submit a new GitHub issue.

I have really enjoyed Thunder. It has been my preferred Lemmy app in large part because of the profile section layout and function. This has changed in the latest releases.

Thanks for the feedback! I would appreciate it if you could provide some more thoughts about the new layout in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1856

Having a better understanding on the things you like/dislike will allow me to incorporate that feedback and improve the feature 😄
