Moonlight Game Streaming 6.0.0

What's new in this version:

End of Support Notices:
- Windows: v6.0.x will be the final release series supporting OSes older than Windows 10 1809 and Windows Server 2019
- Windows: v6.0.x will be the final release series supporting 32-bit versions of Windows
- macOS: v6.0.x will be the final release series supporting macOS verisons older than Big Sur

New Features:
- HDR is now supported on Steam Deck and other HDR-capable Linux systems using a new Vulkan-based renderer
- By default, the new Vulkan renderer is only used for HDR streaming, but it can be used all the time by setting the PREFER_VULKAN=1 environment variable
- Vulkan Video decoding of H.264, HEVC, and AV1 is now supported using the new Vulkan renderer
- A new Metal-based renderer is now used on most macOS systems for increased streaming performance and reduced latency
- Both notched and notch-free native resolution options are now provided on Apple Silicon Macs
- Full E2E stream encryption is now supported when streaming from Sunshine v0.22 or later
- Initiating a stream via the command-line will now automatically wake the target machine if it is sleeping
- Error codes are now displayed in the connection termination dialog
- Detailed PC state information is now available via the new "View Details" context menu option (similar to the Android client)
- The performance overlay can now be configured to appear by default when starting a stream

Behavior Changes:
- The selected bitrate is no longer silently adjusted by Moonlight based upon the video codec or HDR mode
- You may need to adjust your bitrate setting slightly to get the same effective bitrate as prior Moonlight versions
- The selected mouse mode when starting a stream no longer influences the acceleration curve when the mouse mode is toggled using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M key combo while streaming
- The compatibility block on Nvidia Optimus has been lifted, so Moonlight will now run on the discrete GPU if configured to in Nvidia Control Panel
- Game Mode is disabled due to various reports of macOS Sonoma bugs affecting Moonlight and limited performance benefit (#1170 and #1297)
- The D3D11 renderer is now preferred over D3D9 for all streaming scenarios on Windows 10 or later
- Per-session keys (rikey and rikeyid values) are now automatically stripped from logs
- Log messages on Linux will now be logged to stderr rather than stdout
- Log messages on Windows will print to stderr instead of a separate log file if stderr has been redirected
- Hardcoded fallback paths for VAAPI and VDPAU drivers are now only used by the AppImage package
- EGL is now always used instead of GLX for loading OpenGL in X11 environments on non-x86 platforms for improved compatibility with some embedded devices

Platform Support Improvements:
- Linux4Tegra packages are now provided for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04
- Debian Bookworm and Ubuntu Jammy/Noble packages are now built with Wayland support
- The CONFIG+=vulkanslow qmake option is now provided for embedded systems with a slow Vulkan implementation to prefer hardware YUV-RGB conversion and scaling rather than using Vulkan
- For systems where GPU scaling and color conversion is slow regardless of which API is used, CONFIG+=gpuslow is equivalent to CONFIG+=vulkanslow CONFIG+=glslow

Fixed:
- Improved reliability of streaming during momentary drops of WiFi connections
- Improved performance with high polling rate mice
- Improved input latency when a gamepad is connected
- Improved detection of VPNs when streaming
- Added missing command-line options to control HDR and AV1 codec usage
- Added dri-nonfree and dri-freeworld paths to the AppImage's VAAPI driver path list for Fedora 40
- Fixed failure to launch from outside a desktop environment on Raspberry Pi 5 devices
- Fixed instant connection termination error when streaming over the Internet behind certain Carrier-Grade NAT devices
- Fixed several bugs with full-screen mode on macOS
- Fixed incorrect MTU detection when streaming over the Internet without a VPN
- Fixed recovery of audio when no audio output device is present when the stream starts
- Fixed inability to redirect stdout and stderr when launching from the command line on Windows
- Fixed compatibility with Rockchip MPP FFmpeg decoder
- Fixed handling incompatible SDL_VIDEODRIVER settings when using EGLFS or LinuxFB Qt platform backends
- Fixed merging of gamepad state when multi-controller mode is disabled
- Fixed indefinitely resending mDNS queries when a host could not be resolved
- Fixed Steam Controller detection on Steam Link
- Fixed inability to pair when the host is not using a RSA-2048 key
- Updated included gamepad mappings
- Updated community-contributed translations from Weblate
