v0.2.9-1

This is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.2.9! This pre-release version introduces quite 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.

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:

• Thunder now has support for high-refresh displays on Android. This should improve the user experience for those with high refresh displays. However, do keep in mind that this may potentially increase battery usage for those devices. If you encounter any issues, please create a new issue on GitHub.
• Initial support for spoiler tags have been added. Whenever there is a spoiler tag, Thunder will display it as expandable content within the post body or comment. This initial support should catch most cases, but there may be some edge cases where spoilers still show up.
• A whole bunch of small UI/UX improvements across the board. Ability to create cross-posts, share user profiles, changes to account selector, and more!

Thanks again for sticking around, and please mention any bugs and issues that you encounter when using this version!
