Version 0.17

on GitHub

Changes compared to previous Release

Changes compared to previous release version (v0.16):

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
  • 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)
