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.

1.0.8 is the biggest Limerino update yet: clips and past broadcasts now play inside the app — with the chat that was live at that moment replaying right beside them. CLIPS AND VIDEOS, IN THE APP - Tap a clip or video link in chat and it opens in a full-screen player instead of sending you to Safari. Timestamped links open at the right moment, and a clip can jump to its source broadcast. - Browse any channel's videos and clips from the new videos button in the chat header — sort videos by newest, trending, or most viewed; filter clips by date range. - Share a clip or video link from Safari, or from any app's share sheet, straight into Limerino. - Chat replay: past broadcasts and clips replay the stream's own chat, paced to playback — video on top with chat below in portrait, a side column in landscape. Replay is read-only. LANDSCAPE THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY While you watch in landscape, the top bar steps aside so video and chat get the whole screen. Stream title cards can be tapped away, and tuck themselves after a moment so the title glances then yields. NOTIFICATIONS, REBUILT - Notifications now group into proper stacks, by channel or by type. - Bursts — sub trains, raid waves, first-message floods — collapse into one notification with a live count, and every combine window is adjustable. - Each stream, whisper, and chat-event alert type has its own style: Prominent, Quiet, or Off. - Mute one person's notifications from their user card, or straight from a mention notification. - The mentions inbox now catches up on mentions from while the app was closed — one Mentions list holding your full account history, sortable, filterable by time, and searchable by sender. - That inbox now loads one page at a time as you scroll instead of pulling your whole history at once, and it holds its place under your thumb. PINS, THREADS, AND EMOTES - Twitch's own pinned messages appear in a banner at the top of chat, with moderator pin and unpin (confirmation first) and an adjustable auto-hide. Your private bookmark is now called Saved, so "pin" means Twitch's real pin. - Follow a reply thread and its replies get a highlight and an inbox entry, even without an @-mention. - Tap any emote — Twitch, 7TV, BTTV, or FFZ — to enlarge it and see its name, its provider, and its creator credit when the provider publishes one. - The emote picker groups emotes under the channel that granted them, with a rail to jump between channels, and its search matches a broadcaster's name as well as an emote's code. MODERATION AND COMMANDS - Poll and prediction lifecycle: /endpoll, /cancelpoll, /lockprediction, /cancelprediction, /completeprediction, plus live status readouts. - Colored announcements, editable timeout presets that drive both the user card and the swipe escalation, and custom command macros with name, channel, and input placeholders. RELIABILITY - Switching channels now health-checks the chat connection on the spot, so a quietly dead connection is redialed in seconds instead of leaving chat frozen. - A locked device or a slow keychain at launch no longer bounces you to signed out. - Sign out and back in without losing your history: blocks and muted phrases stay on this device, and your mentions come back tied to your account. - The mention badge counts only what is genuinely unread: it shows the real number at any count, it drops mentions you delete, and a count carried over from an earlier launch clears the moment you open the inbox. - AutoMod held-message notices name the channel again. - The emote image cache now sits outside your device backup and prunes itself to a ceiling that actually binds. ALSO IN 1.0.8 - Supporter name colors from 7TV now render on chat usernames. - The channel switcher is simpler: Followed already puts live channels first, so the separate Live tab is gone.

1.0.7 makes mention notifications rock-solid. - Fixed a crash when opening the app by tapping a mention notification while Limerino was fully closed. - The Mention Vault now refreshes when you open it from a notification and whenever you return to the app — the newest mentions always appear at the top right away, and the app badge clears once you've seen them.

Mention alerts and a smoother chat engine headline 1.0.6. MENTION ALERTS: get a push notification when someone @mentions you in chat, even while Limerino is closed. Scope alerts to channels you follow or all of Twitch, mute individual channels, set quiet hours, sender cooldowns, and digest delivery — all under Settings > Notifications. Your mention history lives in the new Mention Vault. SMOOTHER CHAT: the chat list was rebuilt on a new rendering engine tuned for the busiest channels — pinned chat follows new messages in clean steps with no jumps or drift, your reading position holds exactly while you scroll back, and ProMotion iPhones now render chat at up to 120Hz. ALSO IN 1.0.6: - Live chat connects faster after a cold launch. - New notification controls: whisper alerts, highlight alerts, and per-rule notify/sound settings. - Message notifications no longer duplicate your own sent messages. - VoiceOver: chat rows offer Pause auto-scroll and Jump to newest in the Actions rotor, and mention announcements only fire on genuine arrivals. - Settings polish across the board, plus a one-time update prompt when a new version is available. - Many smaller fixes and performance improvements.

One sign-in now covers everything: chat and the video player share the same Twitch session, so signing in once keeps you signed in everywhere. Chat got a quality pass — moderator badges always show (with a clear text stand-in while artwork loads), usernames keep their correct colors, and text spacing scales properly with your message-size setting. Chat also reconnects promptly after network blips instead of stalling. Reporting a bug or suggesting a feature from Settings is simpler, and Settings itself is cleaner throughout.

Fixes sign-in reliability in the video player: the app no longer asks you to sign in on every launch, and your session persists across restarts. Also fixes the newest chat message being hidden behind the message box when opening a quiet channel, and @mentions now display in the mentioned user's own name color. You can also now report a bug directly from Settings — describe the problem and it goes straight to the developer.

Limerino 1.0.3 is a big quality release: • Whispers: read and reply to private messages. • Moderator tools: AutoMod queue, timeouts, bans, and a moderation log. • A Home Screen widget and Live Activities for your favorite channels. • Smoother keyboard and composer, a refreshed stream info card, and dozens of polish, stability, and performance fixes across the app.

This update fixes sign-in and improves chat: • Fixed signing in with your Twitch account. • Fixed chat freezing when tapping the message field while watching a live stream. • The keyboard no longer hides the newest messages. • Older messages no longer appear to scroll in as new after the app has been idle. • The message box no longer jumps when emote suggestions appear. • Stability and polish improvements.
