• Improved Streams Log: I've now added some basic formatting to the text in the Streams Log to make it easier to see what you need at a glance
• Online and offline lists now stay in alphabetical order as streamers go online and offline

At-A-Glance Streams Log

• Streams Log: Just missed a notification pop-up for a channel going live? Have a look at the top of the new Streams Log, and double click to open a channel in your browser. The Streams Log shows streams going online and offline, in chronological order, with game and title details. The old debug log is still available on its own tab.
• Got rid of the numerical channel IDs, as they're not very useful, even for debugging

Update

• When running with the -all option show all followed channels and notify only for channels where notifications are enabled on Twitch
• Use updated channel description changes from the followed streams polling (by default every 60 seconds), not just when all channels are reloaded (by default every 10 minutes).
• If there's an error loading the list of followed channels, retry up to 10 times rather than just quitting.

Quick update

- Fix for streams with no game set sometimes not using the right notification message.

End of December update

A few odds and ends since the last post:

- Windows version has an installer

- Fixed app name in menu items on Mac

- Now using a normal case-insensitive order when sorting the channel lists

I'm aware that this app suffers from pretty severe programmer-UI-itis, including but not limited to clutteredness, non-obviousness, and bad visual design.  I'm starting to think about ways in which the UI could be cleaned up / fixed, and have made a column for that stuff in this project's Trello. However if you're actually using this software please feel free to hit me back with any ideas you have about what it should do or how it should look and work.

Brief update

- Added a windows installer.
- Added a "Quit with Logout" menu item on Mac, since it's mystery how you clear the cookies of an app that uses a built-in WebView on Mac unless the app can do it

More Mac changes

I burned through my main to-do list item, which was to sort out why my automated tests were hanging on Mac.  I reorganised the tests to get rid of the problem they were running into, and tackled some other Mac to-do list items while I was at it.

Recent changes:

• Go version
• Improved Mac application bundle - Got rid of the separate assets directory; any assets we need will go inside the twitch-notifier-go.app
• Fixed automated test issues on Mac
