Pre-release

Hey everyone, sorry for the long delay but this is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.6.0! As always, this pre-release version contains many additions, changes, and fixes.

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

Note: We are aware of a few visual issues with this nightly build and hope to fix them in an upcoming build. If you notice any additional visual issues, please create a new issue on GitHub.

Some notable changes to test out:

  • Thunder now supports additional user/moderator actions including the ability to report posts, banning/unbanning a user from a community, and adding/removing a user as a community moderator. All these actions are available when you open the post actions sheet.
  • Various other improvements including support for image alternative text, quick peeking for image thumbnails, unread notification badges in the account switcher, and more!

v0.5.0

Hey everyone, Thunder v0.5.0 is finally here! This release cycle took a quite a bit of time, but introduces a lot of new features, changes, and fixes 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.

If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project on GitHub! This helps gain visibility for the project and allows more contributors to help with the continued development of Thunder. If you'd like to show some appreciation, here is a post with details on how to donate to the active contributors of Thunder.

Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

Important: Your feed settings (default feed type and sort) will now be based on your Lemmy account settings. The previous feed settings will now ONLY apply to guest accounts. As such, you may have to re-configure your default feed type and default sort type if you were previously using the in-app settings.

🎉 New Features

  • The inbox page has been completely re-written with an updated design to more closely align with Material 3 design guidelines. There's also been a number of fixes to support quick actions within the inbox page (e.g., voting, saving, etc).
  • Thunder now respects more of your Lemmy account settings including your default feed/sort settings. You can update your display name, bio, email, and much more in the new Account Settings page. You can also quickly switch between different accounts to modify your Lemmy settings across all your authenticated accounts.
  • Additional Lemmy 0.19.x features have been added to Thunder including the ability to hide posts, custom thumbnail support, site content warnings, and more. We are still continuously working on bringing Thunder up to feature-parity with Lemmy, so let us know what features you would like to see.
  • Custom user notes/labels are now available in Thunder! This will allow you to add any custom notes to a given user. You can add user labels from the settings page via Settings -> User Labels. Alternatively, you can add labels through the action sheets by long pressing on a given comment and selecting User -> Add User Label.

ℹ General

  • The create/edit button for posts and comments have been moved to the markdown toolbar. This should hopefully make it more accessible for one-handed use.
  • URL filtering has been added to keyword filters. Simply add a new keyword filter with a URL, and it should be hidden from view.
  • Link sharing has been improved to support additional media/external links.

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.

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

v0.5.0-1 Pre-release
Pre-release

This is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0! As always, this pre-release version contains many additions, changes, and fixes.

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

Important: Your feed settings (default feed type and sort) will now be based on your Lemmy account settings. The previous feed settings will now ONLY apply to guest accounts. As such, you may have to re-configure your default feed type and default sort type.

Some notable changes to test out:

  • The Account Settings has been updated to include even more settings that are synced to your Lemmy account. You can change your display name, profile bio, email, default feed type and sort, and more! Additionally, the user/community/instance blocks have been moved to their own dedicated page for easier management.
  • Experimental: You now have the ability to view a post as a different user. You can access this option by tapping on the three-dot menu within a post, and choosing "View post as a different user". When this happens, you temporarily switch accounts and can perform actions and even comment on the post as if you were that account.
  • You can now set custom labels for users which allows you to append a note to a given user. To access this feature, long press on a comment and select User -> Add User Label.
  • Groundwork is being laid out to improve the performance and reliability of the post page. This new experimental post page is locked under the new experimental features toggle. While this is not yet complete, you can test out the new post page by enabling experimental features in the Debug settings page.

The full list of changes since v0.4.0 are mentioned below. As always, if there are any bugs or issues, please submit a new GitHub issue.

v0.4.0

Hey everyone, Thunder v0.4.0 is finally here! This release cycle took a bit longer than usual, but as a result, introduces a lot of new features, changes, and fixes 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.

If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project 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:

🎉 New Features

  • The comment creation page has been fully re-built from the ground up and introduces a few new features, including the ability to specify the comment language, ability to comment as a different user, and addition of spoilers to the markdown toolbar. If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding these changes, feel free to make a new issue on GitHub!
  • There is now initial support for video playback on Thunder! The built-in video player should work with most video URLs (that end in a proper video extension) and should work with YouTube URLs. Additionally, you can customize some video settings such as playback speed, auto-mute, auto-play and more in the Settings page. The video player is still experimental, so there may still be some issues present.
  • Additional customization options including the ability to customize the colours of actions (upvotes, downvotes, saving, etc.), hiding thumbnails from the feed, showing user/community avatars, and much more.

ℹ General

  • There have been improvements to the overall UI/UX across the board. This includes improvements to the pure black theme, improvements to markdown rendering of tables, quotes, and more.
  • There have also been a lot of changes under-the-hood to hopefully improve the overall performance and reliability of actions. As a result of these changes, there may still be some issues that were not caught during testing. If you notice any general issues, please make a new issue on GitHub.

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.
