0.2.5-2

This is the second pre-release for Thunder v0.2.5! This nightly fixes a lot of issues that were reported from the first pre-release version, and adds initial support for Lemmy 0.19.x.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

Please see below for the full changelog since the last general release. For those on TestFlight, you will receive the pre-release update once it has been approved by Apple.

Some notable changes to test out:

• Initial support for Lemmy 0.19.x instances. Note that this only adds in support for authentication with 0.19.x instances. Features such as the new sort options, and blocking of instances is not fully implemented at this point.
• New customizable options when sharing posts. When sharing posts, you now have the option to customize the content you want to share (image, link, description, etc). This is an optional feature and can be disabled in Settings -> General -> Posts if you prefer original sharing options.
