* Fixed: Do not set `src` for images on Firefox, since that causes animations to reset when a new image is added to the DOM with the same `src`. For some reason. Thanks, Firefox.
* Fixed: The FFZ Control Center, Emote Cards, and Link Cards are now all aware of each other in a limited sense. The most recently interacted-with window will appear on top of the others.
* Fixed: Channel page links not having enhanced tool-tip preview support. (Still no link cards when you click them, but it's a start.)
* Developer: Made it so the Link Tester in Debugging > Data Sources will properly open link cards, as long as you have link cards enabled.
* API Added: Update to the latest FFZ rich tokens format, which has a new `i18n_select` token. This allows, for example, the link preview service to return multiple languages of titles and descriptions for a YouTube video so that your client can pick the best one to display.
* Experiment Changed: The "API-Based Link Lookups" experiment now has a third option that uses Cloudflare Workers. It's set very low while I try to gauge how much traffic it would see, and if this is a viable option.
* Added: Link Cards. As an option, you can open a preview card when clicking on links in chat. These preview cards function similarly to the existing tool-tip or rich embed options but can provide for enhanced interaction (e.g. an embedded video player), with potential for more in the future.
* Changed: When using a custom theme with a dark background, use lighter border colors.
* Changed: Draw the FFZ Control Center and other dialogs with rounded corners.
* Fixed: Issue when clicking certain global Twitch emotes preventing the emote card from appearing correctly.
* Fixed: Issue with URL/safety data not being loaded correctly from the link service when the overall result was an error.

* Fixed: Issue where (re)subscription notices in chat for multiple-month-at-once subscriptions would not be displayed correctly.
* Fixed: Tool-tips not displaying correctly in chat pop-outs in some circumstances.
* Fixed: Incorrect border styles when the chat is in portrait mode.

* Added: Setting for customizing how tab-completion matches emote names.
* Added: Clips pages now have support for opening emote cards when clicking an emote in the chat replay.
* Fixed: Issue where chat was not rendering as intended on clips pages.
* Fixed: Issue where the FFZ Control Center link was not added to clips pages.
* Fixed: The chat actions module being instantiated in memory twice.
* Fixed: Blank badges appearing in chat, most notably in historic messages, when a chat message has invalid badge data associated with it.
* Fixed: Use a mutation observer for detecting the drops Claim button, rather than a simple timeout, for better consistency.
* Fixed: Issue when using the webpack public path variable that may lead to URL generation with extra `/` characters, breaking some behavior in Firefox when packaged as a local extension.
* API Added: Support for displaying an emote's original name, if an emote has been given a collection-specific name, using an `original_name` field.
* Fixed: Pages on domains other than `www.twitch.tv` failing to load due to a bug with the settings bridge introduced in the last update.
* Fixed: The standalone player's latency metadata not displaying the buffer length.
* Fixed: Replies appearing with colored usernames with the setting to have colored mentioned disabled.
This is the first release built with the updated build toolchain. Please let me know if you find anything unexpected that broke.
* Added: Setting to treat known usernames in chat as mentions even without an at sign (@) prefix.
* Added: Setting to automatically claim drops.
* Added: Setting to hide the Subtember banner.
* Changed: The stream latency metadata tool-tip now includes the buffer size value.
* Fixed: The stream latency metadata was not appearing on the new mod view layout.
* Fixed: The sub/bits leaderboard appearing in chat when it should be hidden by a setting.
* Fixed: Incorrect text color on the Subtember banner.
* Fixed: The `/ffz reload` command is now `/ffz:reload` to remove an undesirable behavior with Twitch's completion handling when backspacing.
* Fixed: Spaces being included in links when they shouldn't be.
* Fixed: Previews of emotes in chat when typing their names directly.
* Changed: Initial work on tracking the audio/video de-sync when using audio APIs for the compressor. This appears as a value in the stream latency metadata tool-tip, but currently drifts whenever the player is paused.
* Changed: Initial work on allowing the extension to be loaded from a bundled extension.
* API Changed: The load tracker now returns a list of reported loading keys when firing events.
* Added: `/ffz reload` command to reload emote and badge data without reloading the page. (Note: Add-ons will need to update to add support for the command.)
* Changed: Improve monitor support for Current Monitor, specifically when a user has multiple monitors with the same name.
* Fixed: Track the loaded status of global FFZ badges when loading chat data.
* Fixed: The page scrolling incorrectly when using the FFZ emote menu in some situations.
* Added: Command to manually force chat to `/reconnect`. (This was actually added in the last version, but I forgot to include it in the change log.)
* Fixed: Rich embeds for links not appearing.
* Fixed: Correctly display if a user was banned, timed out, or if their message was simply deleted. (This bug has been around for far, far too long. Sorry for the delay.)
* Removed: The legacy chat line rendering method, which was replaced by the Modular Chat Line Rendering experiment. This is not a change users should notice.
* API Added: Chat tokens can now have `allow_rich: false` set to avoid being used for rich content embeds.
* 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.
* Added: Automatically reprocess chat messages when loading a channel for the first time. (Closes#1333)
* Fixed: Random emotes being insert into chat when using the emote menu in some situations. (Closes#1337)
* Fixed: When tokenizing messages, ignore fake emotes injected into Twitch's chat handler for the purpose of auto-completion and WYSIWYG support.
* Changed: Switch to a better method for how to get `require` from webpack.
* Changed: Update the logic used to calculate the container size when overlaying emotes.
* API Added: `load_tracker` module for waiting for multiple events to finish. This is used to reprocess chat lines once every data source has finished loading to avoid multiple unnecessary updates.
* API Added: Add-ons can now set a `load_events` array in their manifest to have the add-on loader register them with `load_tracker`, ensuring events don't fire before the add-on is able to execute.
I'm almost finished implementing a replacement for emote cards, but they aren't quite ready yet. Please wait just a bit longer.
* Added: Support for modifier emote effects, as well as settings to disable them.
* Changed: Update the chat types enum to match changes to Twitch's internals.
* Changed: Implement a new data structure for more efficiently storing bulk user to emote set mappings.

* 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: Option to change the size of Message Hover actions.
* Added: New chat action appearance type "Emote" that makes it easy to use an emote image for an action.
* Changed: Do not show the "Pin" action on messages with no message body.
* Changed: Use Twitch's API for embeds/tooltips of Twitch URLs. This now makes use of clip embed data being sent via PubSub, notably.
* Fixed: Multiple emotes with the same name being listed in tab-completion.
* Experiment: There's a new chat line render method available. This is not currently enabled for any users, but it will be enabled after more internal testing. The new method is not necessarily faster, though it should not be slower. The main purpose of the rewrite is code de-duplication and making the renderer easier to maintain.
* API Added: `chat.addLinkProvider(provider);` to register a handler for link data.
* API Fixed: Do not allow duplicate registration of tokenizers or rich embed handlers for chat.
* Added: Setting to hide specific chat token types from rendering in chat, in case you for some reason don't want to see cheers / emotes / whatever.
* Added: Support for the Artist, No Audio, and No Video badges in different badge styles.
* API Added: The `site.player` module now exports CSS rules for the player control containers, so that FS Chat (and maybe other add-ons) won't need updates in the future if the CSS rule changes slightly.

* Changed: Limit the width of rich content embeds in portrait mode.
* Fixed: Clicking badges not working correctly.

* Fixed: Portrait mode not correctly positioning page content, notably breaking portrait mode with chat on top.
* Fixed: Whisper messages not rendering correctly and logging error messages.
* Fixed: Clip messages not rendering correctly and logging error messages, on the clips subdomain.
* Fixed: Use `/3.0` URLs for Twitch's emote CDN rather than `/4.0` to prevent 404 errors. Kappa will look smaller to some users, but it's a price I'm willing to pay and entirely Twitch's fault anyways.
* Fixed: Volume control not being hidden when gain control has replaced the default volume control.
* Fixed: Smooth Scrolling no longer causing chat to scroll. (Closes#1068)
* Fixed: Issue with users using certain external stylesheets causing chat messages to become impossible to read on mouse hover. (Closes#1066)
* Fixed: Issues with badge sorting causing some badges to be overridden when they shouldn't be.
* Changed: Improve caching of badge data, such that re-rendering chat lines requires less computation.
* Changed: Refactor how chat lines listen for settings changes to reduce code duplication.
* Changed: Refactor how chat lines are invalidated to minimize work when changing settings.
* API Added: `chat:rerender-lines` event that, when emitted, causes all chat lines to be re-rendered.
* API Added: `chat:update-line-tokens` event that, when emitted, causes all chat lines to have their tokens invalidated and recalculated.
* API Added: `chat:update-line-badges` event that, when emitted, causes all chat lines to have their cached badges invalidated and recalculated.
* API Changed: `chat:update-lines-by-user` now has extra properties for separately invalidating tokens or badges. The full signature is `chat:update-lines-by-user(id, login, invalidate_tokens = true, invalidate_badges = true)`
* Changed: The settings for Animated Emotes and chat user color correction now default to enabled or disabled based on your vanilla Twitch settings.
* Changed: Strip automatic error reporting from builds till it can be fixed.

* API Added: `applyHighlight(msg, priority, color, reason)` method for tokenizers.
* Added: Highlight rules now have priorities. Priorities allow for finer control over which color is used to highlight a message, as well as giving priority to specific rules when highlighting individual words.

* Changed: The `chat:receive-message` event no longer fires if there are no registered event listeners, to improve performance.
* Changed: Attempt to more accurately display re-sub notices in Chat on Videos by parsing out the re-sub message from the start of the message.
* Changed: Apply the user's selected `Action Style` to Chat on Videos.

* Added: Option to disable rendering of emotes in chat.
* Fixed: Thumbnails not being hidden on the home page of Twitch in some recommendation categories.

* API Added: Tokenizers can set `msg.ffz_halt_tokens = true` to prevent further tokenizers running. Useful when just discarding a message.
* Added: Display a one-time notice to BetterTTV users with FFZ Emotes enabled in that extension that they can disable the setting.
