Limerino: Chat for Twitch

Reply threads, moderator tools, and a Message history setting that finally means what it says. REPLY THREADS Tap the reply line above a message, or choose View reply thread, and the conversation opens in place with live chat still visible behind it. It opens half height and pulls up to full, and the message you came from stays on screen. The thread is a snapshot on purpose, so it will not grow or reshuffle while you read, and Follow reply thread keeps up with one that is still going. MODERATORS CAN DELETE A MESSAGE In channels you moderate, message actions and the user card both offer Delete. Deleted messages appear struck through and dimmed, or disappear entirely if Hide deleted messages is on. The option only appears where you actually moderate. MESSAGE HISTORY NOW CONTROLS HISTORY The slider used to govern only how much chat was kept in memory. How far back a channel loaded when you opened it was always about a hundred lines, whatever you set. One dial now does both, so raising it and reopening a busy channel lands you noticeably deeper. MENTIONS YOU MISSED WHILE AWAY Signing back in used to leave older mentions unexamined, so a mention further back than the newest hundred messages could never reach your inbox. History also appears on a cold launch without waiting for sign-in to finish. HIGHLIGHT RULES CAN BE REGULAR EXPRESSIONS Mark a rule as a pattern in Settings, Highlights. Existing plain-text rules keep working exactly as before, and an invalid pattern is explained in the editor instead of being quietly ignored. REPLIES TO YOU CAN STOP ALERTING Turn reply pings off and a reply sends no notification while ordinary mentions still arrive. The choice survives relaunching and signing out and back in. TAP A USERNAME FOR RECENT MESSAGES The user card fills from chat the app already has, so nothing is fetched. 7TV EMOTES KEEP WORKING 7TV is changing how a channel's emote set is delivered on August 3. Without this update a channel's 7TV emotes would simply stop appearing, and silently, with the emote names rendered as plain text instead. Live emote updates would stop arriving too. Nothing to turn on. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE Tapping chat dismisses the keyboard. Tapping a message, username or emote still does its own thing. ONE THING REMOVED Video no longer continues playing when the app is not on screen, and the floating window is off. Rotating, the app switcher, and a sheet over the player all still count as on screen, so playback does not stop for any of them. iPad is still iPhone-scaled.
