Sunshine game stream host for Moonlight gets security fixes, Linux improvements and more features

Software encoding is also available. You can connect to Sunshine from any Moonlight client on a variety of devices. A web UI is provided to allow configuration, and client pairing, from your favorite web browser. Pair from the local server or any mobile device."

Sunshine v2025.628.4510 is the first bigger release for a while, an essential one to upgrade too since it includes fixes for two major security issues to do with the web UI not being secure enough.
