Hey everyone! It’s been a while, but the first pre-release of Thunder v0.8.0 is finally here! 🎉

This nightly introduces initial support for PieFed, which involved a ton of changes under the hood to Thunder’s core logic. Because of this, the build is highly experimental and may come with more bugs than usual. If you run into any issues, please don’t hesitate to report them on GitHub!

If you’re currently running the nightly builds, I highly recommend backing up your Thunder settings and local database, just in case something unexpected happens.

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 v0.7.3 are mentioned below. As always, if there are any bugs or issues, please submit a new GitHub issue.
