The Windows installer package may require an Internet connection to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime if your PC does not already have it installed. If you do not have Internet access during installation, you can pre-install the runtime from Microsoft's website or use the portable version.
To update an existing installation, simply run the latest installer (for Windows) or replace the old app in your Applications folder (for Mac). For the portable Windows version, extract the latest version on top of your old folder.
To install on Steam Link hardware, extract the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 flash drive, insert it into your Steam Link, then restart the Steam Link. Moonlight can run alongside official Steam Link streaming and other Steam Link apps.

- macOS Sequoia is now supported
New Features:
- Experimental YUV 4:4:4 support for improved text clarity during remote desktop usage
- Host must be running latest Sunshine pre-release build or v0.24.0 (when released)
- Sunshine only currently supports YUV 4:4:4 encoding on Windows hosts
- HDR streaming is now supported with software decoding (requires GPU with Vulkan or Metal support)

- Fixed GUI breakage on Raspberry Pi OS Buster or Ubuntu Bionic
- Fixed Vulkan video decoding crash with recent Nvidia drivers using the AppImage build
- Silenced log message spam when streaming HDR using Vulkan Video decoding on Linux
- Fixed inability to see video output on SpacemiT K1 due to incorrect overlay plane selection
- Fixed suboptimal pixel format selection with non-hwaccel FFmpeg hardware decoders
- Fixed incorrect hardware decoding warning on embedded systems that use custom OpenMAX hardware decoding patches
- Fixed build failure of libplacebo renderer on 32-bit platforms
- Updated community-contributed translations from Weblate
Dependency Updates:
- Updated Qt in Windows and macOS builds to 6.7.2
- Updated OpenSSL to 3.3.2
