If you are running Sunshine as a service on Windows, we are strongly urging you to update to v0.17.0 as soon as possible. Older Windows versions of Sunshine had a security flaw in which the binary was located in a user-writable location which is problematic when running as a service or on a multi-user system. Additionally, when running Sunshine as a service, games and applications were launched as SYSTEM. This could lead to issues with save files and other game settings. In v0.17.0, games now run under your user account without elevated privileges.

Breaking

• (Apps) Removed automatic desktop entry (Re-add by adding an empty application named "Desktop" with no commands, "desktop.png" can be added as the image.)
• (Windows) Improved user upgrade experience (Suggest to manually uninstall existing Sunshine version before this upgrade. Do NOT select to remove everything, if prompted. Make a backup of config files before uninstall.)
