Thunder Release [v0.7.1]: Core upgrades, bug fixes, and UI/UX enhancements! - Lemmy.World
Hey everyone, Thunder v0.7.1 is finally here! This release primarily focuses on
improving Thunder’s core architecture in preparation for upcoming API changes.
As a result, there aren’t too many new features this time around. The work is
still ongoing and will take a bit more time to complete, but doing so will lay
the foundation for Thunder to more easily support future API versions and
platforms. As always, if you experience any issues or have suggestions or
feedback, feel free to share them with the Thunder community or on GitHub. > For
those using Google Play or the App Store, it may take a couple of days to
receive the update as it’s being rolled out. 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
