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.

Full Changelog
