New in Ghost Chat 2.0.2 (Mar 15, 2023)
- Fixed condition check for the revert vanish option in the tray menu
New in Ghost Chat 2.0.0 (Mar 9, 2023)
- The time has come for GhostChat to receive some well needed updates:
- The entire app was rewritten into a better form of itself. Since technologies and dependencies matured it was not (easily) possible to just update everything. The new structure makes it easier to add new features, let other people collaborate and produce a stable release every time (unless you apply for beta versions, then there could be a few bugs in it here and there)
- We added support for BTTV emotes through the help of KapChat which is now our default message rendering option for twitch.
- Custom CSS and JS options for the Chat window:
- It is now possible to style your chat to your liking via the Custom CSS and Custom Javascript settings options.
- Please note that this is only intended to be used by users who have experience in that field. If you also want some customization but aren't able to do it yourself you can reach out to the friendly people over in the Discord. We all like to share and help and everyone is welcome here.
- Automatic updates:
- GhostChat v2 and onwards supports automatic updates. This is unfortunately only possible on windows since mac requires code signing for this to work. If the mac user base reaches a certain threshold I might consider paying for the developer account so that mac can have auto updates as well.
- Portable versions:
- Unfortunately due to a limitation of electron (or me not being able to properly figure it out :P), I had to drop the portable version for windows since it is not able to reload once you want to vanish the window. If I figure out how to solve this issue than the portable version will be back again.
- Overhauled UI:
- I dropped tailwind for PicoCSS since there's just too much stuff provided by tailwind and I only need a small subset of things.
- GhostChat now has a light and dark theme option enabled that you can toggle. In later releases the option to customize the background color will come back but for now it's set to the defaults of pico.
- A separate settings page was added. Gone are the days where the settings are rendered in the same window. You now have a dedicated window that also remembers it's position/dimensions for the next time you open it.
- Config file:
- The configuration file was completely reworked and thus the initial installation of GhostChat will now wipe your config due to the fact that some settings keys could conflict with each other.
- An option was added in the tray menu for opening the config file location in case you want to check it/need to provide it for bug fixes. If you edit it and accidentally brick it then it will reset itself.
- What's Changed:
- Add Korean localization by @PlavorSeol in #439
- Create es-AR.json by @alandooz in #440

New in Ghost Chat 1.4.4 (Mar 2, 2023)
- This release marks the end of version 1. Since the last real update a lot of time has gone by and dependencies as well as technologies have matured. To be up to date again, development of v2 has started a couple of days ago.
- The progress of it can be tracked in this issue #426 as well as the new Discord server which was created for the community.
- I'd recommend checking it out since you can be up to date with the development as well as participate in the future beta versions and other topics coming up with version 2 release.
- Changelog:
- Updated version check to not notify on beta releases
New in Ghost Chat 1.4.3 (Nov 29, 2022)
