Attention
This release contains critical security updates. For more information see
GHSA-3hrw-xv8h-9499.
Please update as soon as possible!
This release also contains many new features and bug fixes, including:
- Implemented automatic resolution and HDR mode changing on Windows.
- Implemented YUV 4:4:4 encoding support for Intel and NVIDIA GPUs on Windows.
- Implemented automatic discovery support for macOS hosts.
- Added support for capturing displays other than the main display on macOS.
- Added support for emulating DS5, Nintendo Switch Pro, and Xbox One controllers on Linux.
- Removed the limit on concurrent streaming sessions.
- Eliminated the need for driver patching to use NvFBC capture on Linux.
- Significantly reduced CPU usage for encoding when using AMD GPUs (RDNA or later) on Windows.
- Fixed video traffic timeout error when streaming from a Hyper-V VM using GPU Paravirtualization.
- Fixed inability to stream from a Windows machine when using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver.
- Optimized internal frame handling by eliminating redundant data copies and using functions optimized for SSSE3,
AVX2, and AVX512. - Implemented flow control to reduce the chance of dropped packets by overwhelmed routers or network switches.
- Reworked the video encoding rate control logic for VA-API to improve bitrate efficiency on Linux.
- New capture method using Windows.Graphics.Capture API on Windows.
This is an experimental feature and requires running Sunshine manually.
It is not compatible with running Sunshine as a service. - Clients can now be named and unpaired individually.
- The web UI now supports dark mode.
- Checkboxes replace select menus for boolean settings in the web UI.
- RestAPI improvements.
For a more comprehensive list of user-facing changes, see below.
