**Note**: This update does not add proper support for the 'Message Effects' power-up. I still need to investigate how to best implement that, since Twitch's implementation uses a canvas and custom rendering logic.
* Added: Support for the "Gigantify an Emote" power-up.
* Added: Support for "Gigantifing" an emote using a community points reward. Just set up a custom reward that lets a user enter a message, and have the exact string `FFZ:GE` somewhere in the reward's title or description. Only appears as giant for users with FrankerFaceZ. This was added because the native power-up does not support emotes from add-ons.
* Added: Option to disable "Gigantifying" emotes.
* Fixed: Use the correct currency when displaying a community redemption that cost bits rather than points.
* Fixed: The emote menu not appearing correctly when choosing an emote for the "Gigantify an Emote" and "On-Screen Celebration" power-ups.
* Fixed: Issue with the IndexedDB storage provider sometimes failing to save values for Chromium users, notably when restoring a backup. This is due to a browser bug, where Chromium would fail to properly handle multiple simultaneous read/write transactions to an IndexedDB database. To prevent issues going forward, we now use a ticket lock to prevent more than one concurrent write transaction. TL;DR: You can restore your backups properly again.
* Changed: Add Bluesky's new brand icon for use displaying embedded Bluesky content.
* Added: Two settings to improve the FFZ experience for users using their operating system's High Contrast mode. One setting allows you to opt Twitch out of high contrast mode, and the other (which is selectively enabled by default) loads a few more styles to make page elements appear more correctly.
* Added: When using link cards to view a link to a Twitch clip, allow the clip to be played with an embedded player.
* Changed: When displaying a tool-tip for a link, use the link's accent color along the side of the tool-tip for slightly more branding.
* Changed: Make the prompt to accept the YouTube Terms of Service more subtle, and add an option to decline to the settings so it'll stop showing the link to settings altogether.
* Changed: Update the icon for Discord in the icon font, and add an icon for TikTok.
* Added: Initial re-implementation of emote information cards. These have been broken for a while due to changes in Twitch's website preventing us from accessing them.
* Added: Setting to hide charity progress elements in chat.
* Changed: Emote tool-tips now display emote artists.
* Changed: The `Chat Command` chat action can now optionally be sent in another channel. Note that when doing so, you will not receive feedback from your sent message.
* Fixed: The 'Viewer Count' tool-tip duplicating itself.
* Fixed: Emote menu repeatedly requesting FFZ data.
* API Added: Ephemeral profiles can now be created by passing `ephemeral: true` in the options when creating a profile. These profiles are temporary and read-only.
* Fixed: Navigating between channels with the audio compressor enabled (or having previously been enabled) causing the player to become stuck loading infinitely. (Closes#1317)
* Fixed: Features on the `clips` and `player` subdomains not working correctly. (Closes#1336)
* Changed: Finish implementing the initial emote effects.
* Added: Chat actions for modding and un-modding users.
* Fixed: Settings not being removed when an add-on is unloaded.
* Changed: Add a few new icons.
* API Added: Add support for header backgrounds for rich token documents.
* API Added: Methods for adding/updating emotes to and removing emotes from an emote set.
* API Added: Context flag to disable FFZ's chat message processing.
* API Changed: Add-ons can now be hot reloaded for development purposes. This feature may be somewhat unstable.
* Added: Options to hide the "Chat Highlight Settings" and "Shield Mode" buttons in the chat input.
* Added: Option to fade the video player when paused or buffering. (Closes#1289)
* Added: Message Hover chat actions! Now you can add custom actions in the style of Twitch's native "Pin Message" and "Reply to Message" buttons. This change also adds default actions for those that behave similarly to Twitch's native behavior. (Note: The Pin Message action is, by default, only visible if you have your mod icons displayed.) (Closes#1284. Closes #1293.)
* Changed: Remove the Reply action from the defaults for In-Line chat actions.
* Fixed: Duplicate words in *in* certain localized strings with human friendly relative times. (Closes#1292)
* Fixed: Bug where the link testing debug component would not collect its event source when being destroyed.
* Fixed: Popup UI elements not appearing with the correct colors. (Closes#1285)
* Fixed: Elements in the FFZ Control Center sometimes failing to display scroll-bars correctly after a Twitch update.
* Fixed: The mouse cursor not hiding correctly when positioned over the player with controls not visible.
* Fixed: Tab-completion sometimes failing to include emotes from add-ons due to improperly cached data. (Closes#1299. Thanks cfinegan)
* Fixed: Rich token rendering not setting alt text or width and height on images.
This release cleans up some English strings, and moves us to a new back-end for translation. Now, translations are cached in our CDN which should reduce resource usage and allow clients to properly cache things. Translations are also split into chunks so clients can minimize what they need to request at any given time.
* Fixed: Detection of the subscriber button.
* Fixed: Remove references of non-standard ICU format `en_plural`. Use proper `plural` tags.
* API Added: `i18n.loadChunk(name: string) => Promise<void>` for requiring a new chunk.
* API Fixed: Allow settings to have a `null` i18n key to disable translation.
* Added: Support for OpenDyslexic and Google Fonts. Font Family settings now provide a list of fonts to choose from, in addition to allowing a custom font to be entered.
* Changed: When saving a settings backup, the current date will be included in the filename by default. (Closes#1084)
* Added: Notice when FFZ fails to save settings because `localStorage` is full.
* Added: Setting to move "Chat Identity" from the chat input box to the chat settings menu. (Closes#1025)
* Fixed: Actually hide links when "Hide matching links for rich content." is enabled. (Closes#1019)
* Fixed: Open the control center when clicking a markdown settings link without the control center open.
* API Added: Toasts displayed by the `site.menu_button` module now support markdown.
* Changed: Set the default chat reply style to Twitch's own, now that messages can be selected.
* Fixed: Update the chat replies support for Twitch's default style.
* Fixed: Badge tool-tips not working for certain chat messages with additional formatting. (Closes#887)
* Fixed: FFZ hiding the `Watch Full Video` button on clips pages if the option to hide the native live viewer count is enabled. (Closes#883)
* API Added: `threads` icon.
* Added: Support for Twitch's replies and threads system. The experiment is currently disabled, but if it returns we want to support it.
* Added: Option to automatically skip channel trailers.
* Fixed: Incorrect appearance of aspect-ratio controlled elements, due to Twitch removing their aspect ratio CSS.
* Fixed: Incorrect color applied to text buttons with a custom accent color set.
* API Added: `chat:get-tab-commands` event for adding custom chat commands to tab-completion.
* API Added: `reply` icon.

* Added: Options to change the colors of tool-tips.

* Fixed: Remove several Fine instances that were not resolving to anything useful.
* Fixed: Alignment of in-line mod actions.
* Behind the Scenes: Started fresh work on custom viewer cards.
* Added: Reset Player is back. It isn't quite as robust as it was before, but it should still prove helpful when faced with certain playback issues.
* Added: Clicking the `Stream Uptime` metadata now opens a small pop-up letting the user copy a link to the archived video of the current broadcast, at the current time. Please be aware that archives are not updated in real time and the link will not work for several minutes.
* Changed: The `Playback Statistics` metadata now renders as a button to show feedback that you can, in fact, click on it. Doing so toggles the visibility of the player's statistics window.

* Changed: The list of Fontello icons is now extracted from our Fontello config file so that it doesn't have to be manually updated.
* Added: Setting to hide the "LIVE" indicator on live channel pages.
* Added: Setting to invert portrait mode, placing chat at the top rather than the bottom.
* API Added: New icons to the default icon set: `user`, `clip`, `sort-down`, `sort-up`, `sort-alt-up`, `sort-alt-down`, and `language`.
