<h2>
<a name="0.17">Version 0.17</a> (2022-01-31)
<a href="#top" class="top">[back to top]</a>
</h2>
<p>The Twitch v5 API is scheduled to be shutdown at the end of February 2022
and that old API still contains some emotes that aren't available in the
new API. This means that it's possible that more of your emotes won't
show up in the Emote Dialog, TAB Completion and your sent messages in
Chatty (Global, Subscriber and Follower Emotes should always be fine
though).</p>
<p>This update introduces the Local Emotes feature that allows you to
manually configure specific Twitch Emotes to be always available for you
locally in Chatty (how your messages appear to others won't be affected
by this). Read more about this in the <a href="help-settings.html#EmoticonsLocal">help</a>.</p>
<pre>
### Twitch Features
- Switched Global Emotes to new API
- Some new Global Emotes that weren't in the old API should be available now
- Added separate Smilies (as in :) etc.) setting to select which set should be
displayed locally (since this isn't handled well in the new API), the
setting is automatically set based on the old API as long as it's available
- Added Local Emotes setting
- Allows you to manually configure Emotes that should always be displayed
in your local client as usable by you, for Emotes that are not available
through the API
- As long as the old API is available, some Emotes available through that but
not through the new API can be marked as "endangered" in the Emotes Dialog
- Added follower count to User Dialog again (previously removed due to being
slightly more difficult to implement with the new API)
### Other
- Tab Info Settings: Added custom color setting affecting color related options
- Added setting to close tabs with middle mouse button
- Added prefix `config:!blacklist` to circumvent the Highlight/Ignore blacklist
- Some small Emote Dialog improvements
- Updated Emoji (Twemoji set)
- Updated help
### Bugfixes
- Added workaround for online/offline spam in followed channels doing a rerun
</pre>
<h2>
<a name="0.16">Version 0.16</a> (2022-01-06)
<a href="#top" class="top">[back to top]</a>
</h2>
<p>With the v5 Twitch API shutting down early 2022 more features have been
migrated to the new API, which does not quite provide all the features
or information that you may be used to (or limited to the broadcaster).
However, a new feature (in beta) is the Blocked Terms API that allows
moderators to view and edit a channel's Blocked Terms through the Admin
Dialog.</p>
<p>Some new APIs require new access scopes, so you probably have to renew
your Chatty login (check <span class="m">&lt;Main - Account&gt;</span>).</p>
<pre>
### Twitch Features
- Changed various features to new API, some notes:
- Admin Dialog: New API only allows the broadcaster to set the title/game (old
API is being used for editors until it is turned off)
- Commercials: New API only allows the broadcaster to run commercials (editors
will trigger the chat command instead)
- Subscribers List: Subscription time not available anymore, but subscription
tiers and total subpoints are now available in the new API
- User Dialog: Some information removed that isn't in the new API, added some
subscriber information from the user's subscriber badge (if available)

just the first matching one

- Added ability to set separate buffer size for Highlights/Ignore panel

(e.g. you can toggle the new icon in the Live Streams list for open channels)
### Other
- Added FFZ custom VIP badge
- Joining channels:
- Changed /join command to comma-separated list and same features as other
ways to join channels (Connect Dialog, Join Dialog etc.)
- Added more options for joining channels (Addressbook categories, favorites,
live resctriction)
- Some Twitch URLs can be specified for joining channels
- Reduced join delay a bit

panel's context menus to use fixed channel and to manually change the channel

</h2>
<p>More Tabs/Layouts improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>More Info Dialogs (such as Channel Info, Followers, Modlogs, ..) can
be docked as a tab through their context menu. This means they
become part of the new Tabs system and can be dragged&amp;dropped
just like channels.</li>
<li>Layouts (splits, popouts) can now be saved and loaded, both
automatically on restart and manually through the "View" menu. Note
that layouts only affect Info Dialogs if they are docked as a tab.</li>
</ul>
<p>This version also implements some API changes mainly affecting Emoticons
(neither the API nor the implementation is perfect yet, but more emotes
should show up) and AutoMod (you may have to grant additional access for
it to work fully). Moderators may also find the new Repeated Chat
Message Detection useful (you can enable it in the "Moderation"
settings).</p>

</h2>

<p>Chatty now supports the Twitch reply feature, both marking replies with
an icon (showing more information on hover) and sending a reply by

hotkey releases and global hotkeys should also work on Windows, Mac and

</h2>
<p>The new clickable mentions feature allows you to open the User Dialog by
clicking not only on the usernames in front of the messages, but also on

<pre>

</h2>

now supports setting Stream Tags in the Admin Dialog, including the
ability to add Favorites and set them via Presets.</p>
<p>There have also been improvements on base memory usage and memory usage
for long running instances, which may improve overall performance as
well.</p>
<pre>
### Chat
- Added symbol `!` for VIPs and sort in userlist

AutoMod message)

deleted when the user is timed out)

and allow you to set the background color, so it's possible to customize
the foreground/background of almost any message in the chat window.</p>

moderation action directly appended to the associated message.</p>
<pre>
### Chat
- Added ability to customize message background color (through Message Colors
settings and the "bgcolor:" prefix for Highlights)
- Added prefix "config:info" to Message Colors settings and Highlights as well,
allowing you to customize the foreground/background color for more messages
(e.g. `config:info [Notification]` in Msg. Colors to customize the color of
subscriber notifications)

- Added prefix "config:firstmsg" to only match the first message of a user in
a channel during the current session
- Added "replacement:none" prefix to Filter list to have no replacement at all

added to the User Dialog)

limit, but only search at the beginning of words (separated by underscores)
and only at the very beginning if already too many matches

"broughyChair" (setting options for previous behaviour or to search anywhere)

<h2>
<a name="0.9.1">Version 0.9.1</a> (2018-04-02)
<a href="#top" class="top">[back to top]</a>
</h2>
<p>This version has a lot of under-the-hood changes to allow for the new
Rooms feature that Twitch added. The implementation in Chatty is rather
basic: You can join rooms available for the current channel through the
"Channels" menu and you can favorite rooms, however for example there is
not yet an implementation for viewing the Room chat history.</p>
<p>If you're a heavy user of the Highlight system you may appreciate the
addition of the Highlight Blacklist as well as improvements to the
dialog used for editing the text matching pattern. Also note that there
have been slight changes to some prefixes (see below).</p>
<pre>
### Main Features
- Added basic support for Rooms (join via Channels-menu and Favorites/History)
- Added initial support for translating the Chatty GUI to other languages,
added some partial translations (thanks to volunteers translating)
### Highlighting/Ignore
- Added Highlight Blacklist, to prevent some matches from triggering Highlights
- Improved Highlight pattern tester (used in other places as well), now with
match color highlighting, and open directly instead of hiding behind "Test"
- Some text matching prefixes changes (Highlighting/Ignore/..):
- Changed `w:`/`wcs:` to not take Regex anymore
- Added `reg:` prefix and variations for using Regex with more consistent and
predictable naming scheme (`re:` and `re*:` still work as before)
- Invalid regex now won't match any text, instead of just disregarding the
pattern and matching all text
### Settings
- Setting files `favoritesAndHistory` and `statusPresets` now both merged into
`settings` file, unused files are removed
- Possibly made saving settings more reliable in some circumstances
- Reorganized Settings Dialog, added new menu for navgiation
- Added setting for vertical zoom in Channel Info Dialog, improved context menu
- Added setting for logging regular chat messages (and thus a way to disable it)
- Added setting whether to show chat inputbox by default (and thus a way to hide
it by default)
- Added "Off" option for notification type setting
- Updated Livestreamer context menu qualities setting format to allow specifying
display names for groups of qualities
- Changed TAB Completion default to complete both usernames and emotes with TAB
### Other Changes
- Changed chat inputbox to automatically grow when entering long lines
(you need to hold Ctrl to navigate input history, changeable in Chat Settings)
- Added /favorite and /unfavorite commands (Channel Favorites)
- Added /joinhosted command to join currently hosted channel
- Changed /appinfo command to contain more information
- Don't add space anymore when chat timestamp is empty
- Show more stream types as "[VOD]" (Premiere, Vodcast, Rerun..)
- Updated help
### Bugfixes
- Fixed bug loading emotes.txt
- Fixed possible Community search issue
- Fixed username capitalization locale bug (e.g. Turkish locale)

<a href="#top" class="top">[back to top]</a>
</h2>
<p>This version includes more Look and Feels which you can select in the
settings, including some fully dark themes.</p>
<p>There should also be a slight improvement in memory usage and startup
performance, since not all emote metadata is loaded at once anymore
(which actually takes up a lot of resources with more than 300k emotes).</p>
<p>Also check out TAB Completion for Emoji, with which you can e.g. enter
<code>:think</code> and <kbd>TAB</kbd> to complete to <code>:thinking:</code>,
which when send through the inputbox is replaced with the appropriate
Emoji character (which is also a new feature).</p>
<pre>

- Added userlist font setting
- Improved organization and help in Settings Dialog a bit
- Updated Chatty app icons

emote is from, added display of emote tiers

- Fixed some BTTV emotes (like D:) appearing when they shouldn't
- Added Emoji TAB Completion (anything starting with ":")

- Added ability to execute program for Notifications (e.g. run native Linux
notification)

- Added F1 to open help to settings (instead of it being hardcoded)
- Added "log ignored messages" setting, to be able to turn that off (by default
it does log them, as before)

commands anyway, but that's not very accessible)
- Improve setting commands
### Bugfixes
- Fixed bug with separators in custom context menus
- Fixed some emote code conversions
- Fixed error on "Use title only" in Admin Dialog
- Possibly fixed rare error with parsing livestreamer menu options

<p>This update finally contains the ability to set the three communities. It
has been in beta for a while, but unfortunately I seem to be pretty bad
at releasing frequent updates, sorry about that (following job interview
cliché I guess I would have to say it's because I'm a perfectionist ;).
Due to that, there are also some more changes in this update than usual,
that have collected over time.</p>
<p>A note about memory usage and emoticons: With the number of emotes
skyrocketing due to the introduction of the Affiliate program, Chatty
has much more emote metadata (not images) to handle, which causes issues
for some users. It needs that data to populate the Emote Dialog and also
(for sent messages) to show emotes in chat. I will try to improve the
situation over the coming updates, probably by only requesting data as
needed, instead of all at once (although there are related issues to
solve for this to work properly).</p>
<pre>
### Communities / Channel Info
- Added support for selecting several communities in Admin Dialog
- Removed F hotkey for toggling Community favorites (because that can interfere
with searching the list), use Alt+F instead
- Updated Channel Info Dialog to show several communities (in overflow menu if
there is not enough space)
- More info updated when hovering over history graph in Channel Info Dialog
(uptime, communities, stream type)
### Notifications
- Don't match own messages by default, but added option to do so anyway
- Added option to only trigger on messages containing bits
- Added text matching for Stream Status and Subscriber Notifications
- Added separate dialog to edit text matching pattern, including some basic help
- Prevent channel tab color changing from own messages (by username)
### TAB Completion
- Added settings to what TAB and Shift-TAB should complete, but always complete
to username when using the @ prefix
- Added completion of Custom Command names
- Reorganized settings
### Custom Commands / Moderation
- Added $lower function to make text lowercase
- Improved error output, showing the place the error occured more conveniently
- Made function parsing more lenient, so that you can use a replacement in
the first function parameter (if it starts with "$"), which usually would
require an identifier (e.g. "$lower(1)" or "$lower($(1))")
- AutoMod: Made name of filtered messages in chat clickable, so you can open the
context menu or User Info Dialog to approve/deny a message
- Added special commands /Automod_approve and /Automod_deny that can be used to
position the Approve/Deny buttons in the User Info Dialog
### Other Settings Stuff
- Highlights/Ignore: Added "re*:" prefix (matching anywhere in message, except
of whole message, so "re*:abc" and "re:.*abc.*" would be equivalent)
- Added "Test"-button to some matcher settings (e.g. Highlights) where you can
test if the pattern you entered matches a text
- Added setting to close User Info Dialog when clicking on button (enabled by
default to keep previous behaviour, but can be disabled now)
- Added ability to add Livestreamer fallback quality options
- Added "Edit all entries" button to some list settings, which allows all
entries to be edited in one editbox (separated by newlines)
### Other Improvements
- Vodcasts are now marked with "[VOD]" in several places, and also made the
Channel Info Dialog history graph line color grey for Vodcasts
- Set Admin/Followers Dialog to first joined channel, if already open
- Don't immediately remove streams from Live Streams Dialog on request error
- Added "/userinfo &lt;name&gt;" command to open specific User Info Dialog
- Live Streams List: Added hotkeys for join selected (Enter), open Channel Info
(Space) and open context menu (Context Menu Button)
- Channel Info Dialog: Added ESC hotkey to close
- Removed message type from Tray Notifications, which should allow Chatty icon
to show up on them on some OS
- Minor memory usage improvement in regards to Twitch Emotes metadata
- Show Twitch Charity messages
- Updated help
### Bugfixes
- Fixed error related to the User Dialog custom buttons setting
- Fixed error in Notification settings when no sounds could be found
- Fixed global emotes showing as Subscriber Emotes in context menu
- Fixed deselecting graph item on channel change
- Fixed Whisper-Type Notification triggering when it shouldn't

<a href="#top" class="top">[back to top]</a>
</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> 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).</p>
<pre>
### General

<a href="#top" class="top">[back to top]</a>
</h2>
<p>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 <a href="help-custom_commands.html">updated help</a> if you want
to learn more about it.</p>
<p>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.</p>

is much more flexible and allows for all the new special Badges like
Bits, Prime or Loyalty Badges.</p>
<p>Weed out rogue mods with the new Mod Action Log. Twitch added a way for

<h2>
<a name="0.8.3">Version 0.8.3</a> (2016-06-28)
<a href="#top" class="top">[back to top]</a>
</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You can now follow people directly out of Chatty using the commands
<code>/follow</code> and <code>/unfollow</code> and via context menus
under <code>Miscellaneous</code>. If you try to follow someone you are
already following, it will show how long you are already following.</p>
<p><em>Important:</em> To be able to follow/unfollow channels you first need
to request new login data, because this feature requires the
<code>Follow channels</code> access which Chatty didn't request before.</p>
<p>This version also adds initial support for the new re-sub notifications
with attached messages.</p>

<pre>

<h2>
<a name="0.6.2">Version 0.6.2 (2014-04-20)</a>

</h2>
<h3>Important Information</h3>
<ul>
<li>The port setting has changed. If you have changed the port setting
to another value before, it will be reverted to the new default with
this update.</li>
<li>With the introduction of group chat, Twitch apparently removed the
"xy just subscribed" messages from the chat version Chatty uses. There
was also a new version introduced that still has those messages and is
generally better (association of bans/info messages/subscribers to
channels), but it lacks joins/parts, which means no joins/parts can be
shown and the userlist will only contain those people who have said
something.<br />
<br />
If you don't care about showing joins/parts and you don't care about
a correct/complete userlist, then it may be beneficial for you to
enable the <code>Chat Client Version 3</code> option in the Settings
Dialog under <code>Advanced</code>. <a href="help-settings.html#Advanced-Other">More information..</a></li>

or you can use the previous behaviour or let the whole message be replaced
with &lt;message deleted&gt;
- Change the displayed time range in Viewer History
- Automatically check if the login is valid, if it is suspected not to be
- Clickable links in Channel Info Dialog (also turns #srl-abcd into a race link)

Changes:

- Detect subscribers even when in more than one channel (may not work correctly
always, but it's a better guess than before)
Bugfixes:
- Changed color of inputbox cursor to foreground color
- Possibly made emoticon image loading a bit more reliable, but it's hard to
tell what happens when the loading fails
- Handle long URLs in the URL open dialog better
