v0.2.3-alpha.1

Change log

1. Assign a fixed UUID for each app
2. Allow using app's own identity instead of client's for virtual display creation (for specific display configurations)
3. Try fix display probing for some weird platforms
4. Minor UX improvements

NOTE: Windows 11 24H2 insider preview broke the method for programatically setting primary display, even MultiMonitorTool failes to do so. You can still set the virtual display to default manually and Windows will remember your configuration.

Warning

It is highly recommend to remove any other virtual display solutions from your system and Apollo/Sunshine config, to reduce confusions and compatibility issues.

Warning

Quit ALL running Apollo instances before upgrading!

v0.2.0-alpha.1

Change log

1. Added Permission System for Clients. Now you can share your stream with friends without needing to worry about them messing up with your keyboard and mouse input. You also don't need to re-pair every time you want to play again with your friend. Works with ALL Artemis/Moonlight clients.
2. New method for client identity matching. Ordinary Moonlight clients can now have a fixed identity for virtual displays.
3. Minor UI improvements

This version changed how clients are identified. Virtual display identity might change, you might need to re-calibrate your HDR profile if you're using HDR with virtual display.

v0.1.3-alpha.2

Change log

1. Add option to follow client HDR settings
2. Minor UI improvements

About HDR

Enabling HDR is not recommended at this moment, probably in the long term. The issue with HDR is huge, with loads of semi-incompatibe standards, and massive variance between device configurations and capabilities. Game supports for HDR are still choppy. Things are a little better if you're using Artemis as clients, since each client are remembered as a dedicated display with a fixed identity, Windows can auto select the calibration based on the device, but other Moonclients sharing one single identity are not that lucky.

SDR actually provides much more stable color accuracy, and are wiedly supported throught most devices you can imagine. For games, art style can easily overcome the shortcoming with no HDR, and SDR has pretty standard workflows to ensure their visual performance. So HDR isn't that important in most of the cases.
