This page shows important information about new versions as well as the full list of changes.
Custom Tabs allow you to route message from regular channels to a Custom Tab based on Highlight matching rules.
The new to: prefix (for Highlights, Ignore, Msg. Colours and the new Routing setting) specifies the name of the Custom Tab you want to route the matching messages to. For example adding to:Mentions regw:yourname to the Custom Tabs Routing list will copy all messages containing the word "yourname" to a tab called "Mentions".
There are also options to copy the text of Desktop Notifications to a Custom Tab, logging Custom Tab messages to a file and more.
Added a message history on channel join, which can be enabled in the Settings under "History". It can show regular chat messages from the last 24h for many channels based on the recent-messages.robotty.de API.
Added an "M" button to the input field that opens a panel for changing channel modes (available only for moderators).
/createClip for creating a clip on the current channelconfig:afterban to match on messages after the user was banned/timed out (if Chatty is aware of it)msgs: to match on the user's past messages (as they are shown in the User Dialog)/userinfoRecent to open User Info Dialog for user recently affected by a Twitch Command or with recently open User Dialog

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).
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 help.
### Twitch Features
- Switched Global Emotes to new API
- Some new Global Emotes that weren't in the old API should be available now

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

### Bugfixes
- Added workaround for online/offline spam in followed channels doing a rerun
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.
Some new APIs require new access scopes, so you probably have to renew your Chatty login (check <Main - Account>).
### 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)

will trigger the chat command instead)

tiers and total subpoints are now available in the new API

subscriber information from the user's subscriber badge (if available)

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 names that are mentioned within the messages themselves (as long as the mentioned user has recently chatted).

Twitch released the Stream Tags API for third-party developers, so Chatty now supports setting Stream Tags in the Admin Dialog, including the ability to add Favorites and set them via Presets.
There have also been improvements on base memory usage and memory usage for long running instances, which may improve overall performance as well.
### Chat
- Added symbol `!` for VIPs and sort in userlist
- Improved support for some new chat messages
- Changed Cheeremote default setting to animated

AutoMod message)

Custom Message Colors and Highlights can now also apply to Info Messages 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.
Moderators can now delete individual messages and get who performed a moderation action directly appended to the associated message.
### Chat
- Added ability to customize message background color (through Message Colors
settings and the "bgcolor:" prefix for Highlights)

a channel during the current session

### Moderation
- Added support for deletion of single messages (Delete button automatically
added to the User Dialog)
- Append which mod performed an action (e.g. ban/timeout), and only show
separate ModAction message if no associated message is present in chat
- Output ban/timeout reason from Modlogs, since Twitch removed it from chat
### Custom Commands
- Added "/chain" command to perform several commands at once
- Added $(chans) parameter containing all open regular channels
- Added $(msg-id) and $(automod-msg-id) parameters to User Context Menu
- Added $rand() function, to choose one random entry from the parameter list

- Added "//" prefix to inputbox to directly run anonymous command
(e.g. `//echo $(chans)`)
### TAB Completion
- Changed TAB Completion for Emoji to search within codes without min. character
limit, but only search at the beginning of words (separated by underscores)
and only at the very beginning if already too many matches

as well (capitalized), so e.g. "chair"+TAB will find both "joshChair" and
"broughyChair" (setting options for previous behaviour or to search anywhere)
### Misc
- Added Splash Screen that shows while Chatty is starting

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.
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).
### 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)
- Fixed bug where "Cancel" in the Open URL dialog would sometimes copy the URL
- Fixed possible bug with tray icon
- Fixed some FFZ API/other URLs not using https
This version includes more Look and Feels which you can select in the settings, including some fully dark themes.
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).
Also check out TAB Completion for Emoji, with which you can e.g. enter
:think and TAB to complete to :thinking:,
which when send through the inputbox is replaced with the appropriate
Emoji character (which is also a new feature).
### Twitch Updates - Added /raid command and display of incoming raids, joining raids doesn't work - Added support for gifted sub messages ### Look / GUI - Added more Look and Feels, including dark themes - Added custom presets to color settings - Added userlist font setting - Improved organization and help in Settings Dialog a bit - Updated Chatty app icons - Added feature to customize message color based on rules (like Highlighting, except it only colors messages) - Updated help ### Emoticons / Emoji - Load emoticon metadata only as needed to improve memory usage - Updated source for subscriber emoticon metadata, fixing e.g. which channel an emote is from, added display of emote tiers - Improved display of information in emote context menu and emote dialog - Grouped together sets with only one emote in Emote Dialog - Fixed some BTTV emotes (like D:) appearing when they shouldn't - Added Emoji TAB Completion (anything starting with ":") - Added conversion of Emoji short code to Emoji character when entered into the inputbox (e.g. :thinking: -> <unicode_character> when being sent) ### Settings - Added -d launch argument to directly specify settings directory - Added ability to execute program for Notifications (e.g. run native Linux notification) - Added ability to change spamProtection setting without restart - 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) - Added more timestamp options to the settings (anything can be set via setting 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
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.
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).
### 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 <name>" 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 - Fixed parsing behaviour of numeric identifiers with more than one number - Fixed minor display bug in Live Streams List
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.

This update implements the new Badge system that Twitch introduced, which is much more flexible and allows for all the new special Badges like Bits, Prime or Loyalty Badges.
Weed out rogue mods with the new Mod Action Log. Twitch added a way for
mods to see what commands other mods have executed in the channel. In
Chatty you can view these mod actions in a separate window via

(last two only being used in chat, when you copy&paste the message)

may trip up the API

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

Emote Dialog (Extra - Emoticons or Ctrl+E) and
choose the Favorites page to view your favorites.exported subfolder of the settings directory (so

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 :)

necessary access.New features: - Get notified when streams you follow go online (requires <Read user info> access, which wasn't even in Chatty before, so you'll have to request new login data) - View a list of live streams (you followed or whose channel you are in) - FrankerFaceZ emoticons - Added search, allowing you to find text in the current chat window - Deleted messages (from timeouts/bans) now get shortened to a maximum length, or you can use the previous behaviour or let the whole message be replaced with <message deleted> - 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) - Cycle between tabs with Ctrl+TAB Changes: - Updated Help - Changed Settings Dialog Layout - 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

New features: - Added Admin Dialog that let's you change the title/game of your stream and run commercials (optional global hotkey for running commercials) - Added Channel Favorites/History that automatically saves channels you joined and also allows you to add favorites (history can be deactivated in the settings) - Added Highlight system that makes a message appear in another color if defined keywords are found in it and/or it was send by a defined user (defaults to always highlight your own name) - Added join dialog - Messages from user "twitchnotify" as info messages (when someone subscribed) - Added Warning when joining more than one channel - Added context menus for nicks/links/channel/tabs - Restore window position from last session - Better debugging and error handling - Automatically scroll down after 30s of inactivity when being scrolled up Changes: - User Info Dialog: Auto-update message history, show bans, show channel context - Lowered stream info (title, game, viewercount) update delay to 120s - Improved default user colors - Emoticons that contain only word characters match at word boundaries (to match the new behaviour in Twitch Webchat) New settings: - Option for capitalized names - Option to show ban message (.. has been banned from talking), defaults to not showing it - Color GUI settings (with default and dark preset) - And of course quite a few for the new features/bugfixes Bugfixes: - Fixed bug where channels would re-open without being able to close them - Fixed bug where the userlist wasn't loaded correctly on join when the channel was joined before in the same session - Disabled Direct3D Hardware Acceleration by default to possibly fix Chatty appearing completely black under certain circumstances
