This is the second pre-release for Thunder v0.2.9! This pre-release version introduces a few new features and improvements, as well as usual bug fixes.
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Some notable changes to test out:
Thunder will now attempt to clear image cache for images older than 7 days to reduce the amount of cached data stored on your device. You can also manually clear the image cache by going to Debug -> Clear Cache
You can now search for settings/preferences from the Settings page. Tapping on a search result will bring you to the proper Settings page. Big thanks to @ggichure for implementing this feature!
[Android] Thunder has experimental support for handling push notifications locally on Android devices. When enabled, Thunder will attempt to fetch new notifications in the background while the app is not running. Please note that this feature is highly dependent on the Android OS and their battery saving settings (e.g., stopping apps in the background). Big thanks to @micahmo for implementing this feature!
