This release involves significant changes under the hood. Due to Twitch's heavy use of functional React components and effects in recent updates to their site, we need to start listening for DOM nodes rather than components in many cases. To that end, I've implemented the Elemental module to grab elements using MutationObservers. I didn't want to, but this is where we're at. In a future release I'll be using Elemental to add support back to the directory for certain features.
* Added: Emote Visibility Control for Emote Menu. You can now hide emotes you don't want from your emote menu. You still have them, and they'll still appear in chat if someone else uses them, but it helps keep the clutter down in your menu. (Closes#811)
* Added: Setting to toggle mute for the player when middle-clicking it. (Closes#812)
* Added: Setting to toggle the bold style applied to chat mentions. (Closes#816)
* Fixed: No background color being applied to Highlight My Message chat messages when using the new Twitch layout. Now, the default Twitch purple will be used when FFZ hasn't yet extracted the color for the current channel. Extracting the channel color is still broken at this time. (Closes#821)
* Fixed: The player volume resetting to 100% when changing channels. (Closes#820)
* Fixed: Chat appearing incorrectly when a custom width smaller than 340 pixels is set. (Closes#819)
* Added: Display bits emote rewards in the FFZ Emote Menu alongside subscription emotes.
* Changed: 2FA reward emotes are now labelled as such in their tool-tips.

* Added: Socket debugging information, including if the client is connected, latency, ping, etc.
* Changed: Make the text for profile rules more clear about what happens if you have multiple rules for a profile.

* Fixed: The emote menu now correctly groups emotes with no specific source channel.
* Fixed: The emote menu should no longer display sets as `Set #Number`.
* Fixed: The emote data module constantly trying to load data for a set that does not exist rather than storing that it does not exist.
* Fixed: Cache emote set data from the emote menu for use with tool-tips.
* Fixed: Clicking buttons in the FFZ Control Center's header now prevents dragging from starting.
* Fixed: Remove several Fine instances that were not resolving to anything useful.

* Fixed: The Stream Uptime metadata pop-up not opening in Safari due to the browser's lack of modern JS features.
* Fixed: Tool-tips not working within the FFZ Control Center.
* Fixed: Tool-tip positioning when in Portrait Mode.
* Fixed: The `Current Category` rule type for profiles not matching on directory pages.
* Added: `Current Category` rule type for profile rules. (Ironically, does not currently apply when on the directory page for a category.)

* Fixed: Alignment of certain chat settings menu elements.

* 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.
* Fixed: Issue importing a single profile without an update URL causing no data to be imported. (Closes#645)
* Fixed: Styles for metadata buttons without borders.
* Fixed: Positioning of the PiP and Reset Player buttons.
* Fixed: The `Playback Statistics` metadata displaying numbers a bit too precisely for easy reading.
* Fixed: Rewrite our player code to support the Highwind player. This removes support for the old player, but to our knowledge everyone should be using Highwind now.
* Removed: The Reset Player button. At this time we just don't know how to properly implement it for the new player. The new player is more tightly integrated into the Twitch web application.
* Removed: Closed Captioning position settings. Twitch appears to have native position controls for closed captions now.
* Fixed: Inconsistent localized string for active profiles.
* Fixed: Hide mega-cheer recipient call-outs in chat when the relevant setting is enabled.
* Fixed: Styling of the chat settings menu modifications.
* Fixed: The FFZ menu button in the navigation bar not applying its loading state.
* Fixed: Incompatibility with BetterTTV menu options.
* Fixed: Revert the tool-tip container selector as just using `#root` causes performance issues. People will just have to live with badly positioned tool-tips in Portrait Mode for the time being.
* API Changed: Emit a `core:dom-update` event whenever we cause a React component to `forceUpdate()`. This is the first draft of a potential solution for fixing incompatibilities with BetterTTV, and should not yet be considered stable. (No, this doesn't mean it's fixed. That will require updates from both extensions and not just FFZ.)
* Added: Profiles can now be toggled on and off, rather than relying on rules to control them.
* Added: Right-clicking the FFZ menu button in the top right of the page will open a Profiles dialog, letting you quickly toggle a profile on or off.

* Added: Polish and Serbian pluralization rules.
* Fixed: Ensure tool-tips work on the new dashboard.

* Fixed: Show an in-page notification rather than an alert box if the FFZ Control Center fails to load.
* Fixed: Adding an event to an EventListener while the event firing potentially leading to an infinite loop.
* Fixed: Pluralization rules for Ukrainian.
* Changed: Improve the Translation Tester UI to make it considerably more useful.

Not a native English speaker? We've got an option for that, too. FrankerFaceZ is translated with love by our community. Please [join our Discord](https://discord.gg/UrAkGhT) and ask about localization if you'd like to contribute. We're still new to localization, so there may be some growing pains.
If you notice any inaccuracies, confusing translations, or texts that are outright wrong or offensive, please be sure to report them. We accept reports via Discord, Twitter, or GitHub Issue.

* Fixed: The setting to hide bits UI not hiding the bits button in chat.

* Changed: The list of Fontello icons is now extracted from our Fontello config file so that it doesn't have to be manually updated.
