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.
