Hey everyone, its been a while but it's finally time for 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:

🎉 New Features

  • Instance and community modlogs are now available in Thunder. To access the instance modlog, tap on the triple dot button located on the top app bar and select "Modlog" when viewing general feeds (Subscribed/Local/All). To access a community modlog, navigate to the given community and find "Modlog" in the extended actions.
  • Mod reports are now available to view and resolve within Thunder via the drawer. If you are a moderator or admin of a community/instance, you should see a new "Reports" option under the general feeds. Only post and comment reports are available at this time. Private message reports will come in a future update.
  • The user feed has been fully re-worked to provide a better experience similar to the general/community feeds. This means that you can now change the sorting when viewing a user feed, and use the FAB for additional actions.
  • An instance explorer has been added into the Search page. This allows you to explore communities, posts and comments for the current instance.
  • Thunder now has an in-app changelog for updates. It is turned on by default, but can be toggled off in the settings. This changelog should help you keep track of what additions, changes, and fixes have been added in upcoming versions.

ℹ General

  • Improvements to markdown rendering. Spoiler markdown detection has been improved, and there is now initial/experimental support for subscript and superscript markdown tags. Markdown quick actions when creating posts/comments will be added in the near future.
  • You can now customize the user/community name format and style across Thunder! This is accessible through Settings -> Appearance -> Theming. You can adjust the font weight, colour, and format for both user and community names.
  • Improved UI/UX for long press actions, and additional customization options including customizable feed dividers and navigation bar labels.

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.
