This page shows important information about new versions as well as the full list of changes.
This version features a new Notification system, which combines both Desktop Notifications and Sounds. It is more flexible to configure and can be easier extended on the programming side. It has more types of events (like Whispers or AutoMod messages), better matching of events (matching text or restricting to a channel) and things like configurable colors for Desktop Notifications.
Note: While your previous Desktop Notification Settings should be carried over, you will have to reconfigure any Sounds in the new system (if you used any).
### General - Added new Notification system - Added support for new sub messages - Added button to sort some setting lists alphabetically - Changed Emote Context Menu entry "Twitch Profile" to "Twitch Stream" - Some other Settings Dialog and GUI improvements - Made Addressbook mod commands channel setting case-insensitive - Some debug output improvements - Updated help ### Custom Commands - Added custom replacements - Added $ifeq function - Added feature to add channel-specific Custom Commands - Made identifiers case-insensitive - Allow absolute positioning of Custom Menu Items ### Bugfixes - Fixed word wrapping issues (hopefully) - Fixed selection in chat window moving around - Added workaround for error occuring in Java 1.8.0_131 (the actual cause of the error is still unclear, but hopefully this works well enough)
- Fixed Whispering that didn't work due to changed Twitch behaviour - Fixed bug related to Custom Commands which would prevent startup - Minor change to not removing leading/trailing whitespace from entering commands, to allow for some more usages - Updated help
Custom Commands got a major overhaul in this version, which means that some of the Custom Commands you are using may have to be fixed (although it should be mostly backwards-compatible). Both Custom Commands and adding them to the Context Menus/User Dialog has become more flexible (for example you can add custom submenus, define commands directly in the menu and move/remove the Mod/Unmod button in the User Dialog). Check out the updated help if you want to learn more about it.
Also featured in this version is support for Communities in the Admin Dialog. As with games Communities can be favorited and are integrated into the Presets.

Twitch has added information on the length of timeouts, which Chatty will now output by default behind deleted messages. Twitch Chat now also supports reason messages for timeouts/bans, which will be shown in Chatty only to the affected person as well as all mods.
You can now follow people directly out of Chatty using the commands
/follow and /unfollow and via context menus
under Miscellaneous. If you try to follow someone you are
already following, it will show how long you are already following.
Important: To be able to follow/unfollow channels you first need
to request new login data, because this feature requires the
Follow channels access which Chatty didn't request before.
This version also adds initial support for the new re-sub notifications with attached messages.

Emote Dialog (Extra - Emoticons or Ctrl+E) and
choose the Favorites page to view your favorites.exported subfolder of the settings directory (so
e.g. C:\Users\name\.chatty\exported\). If you are using
this feature e.g. by refering to the created textfiles in your

there.New features: - Added Emoticon Favorites, that are displayed in the Emote Dialog (you can only add Twitch Emotes for now, not FFZ or BTTV) - Added support for correct capitalization of names in chat (experimental, you have to enable it in the settings if you want to try it) - Show correctly capitalized stream names in Live Streams/Channel Info Dialog (independent of the Correctly Capitalized Names setting) - Added minimize to tray/close to tray options - Added setting for auto scroll down timeout length - Added setting to change font size of dialogs (experimental, only Userinfo now) - Added setting to customize chat log file location - Added context menu to Follower/Subscriber Dialog to export list to file - Added support for FrankerFaceZ global event emotes Changes: - Changed tray icon to only show when needed - Set proper tooltip for tray icon - Added some more timestamp options - Changed stream status writer output to "exported" subfolder of settings folder - Changed stream status writer to ignore case of stream name - Channel Info: Added approx. last stream length as tooltip to "Offline" text - Changed Twitch badges to use images instead of alpha (shows new colors now) - Changed base colors for badges to new Twitch colors (affects FFZ Mod Icon and Fallback Icons) - Allow for selection of text in chat by double-clicking (focus to inputbox now only on single-click on chat) - Detect a few more URL formats to be made clickable - Improved debug logging a bit (memory usage) - Some small improvements to memory usage - Added some more characters to Font Selection Dialog, but also an input field to enter your own text to test the font - Catch the error if hotkey library couldn't be found and output warning instead - Updated help Bugfixes: - Fixed info messages sometimes going to the wrong window if popouts are used - Fixed subscriber sorting in userlist (but overall sorting can still be screwed up sometimes) - Fixed wrong channel being joined when joining channel out of user context menu with "Capitalize Names (First Letter)" option being enabled (fixed implicitly by changing some stuff around for supporting capitalized names) - Added workaround for Twitch emotes appearing wrong on Retina displays - Nothing to do with Chatty in particular (it's the same for every IRC client), but the "xy just subscribed" message should now work for everyone again, because Twitch fixed it :)

you may want to switch to Twitch Client Version 3 (Settings - Advanced),
which has a few advantages.
