Moonshine, a headless streaming server for Moonlight, has been released in version v0.12.0.

Moonshine runs without its own desktop and streams gameplay along with input to Moonlight clients, allowing PC games to be streamed without a monitor attached to the host.

New features include scRGB HDR streaming with BT.2020+PQ conversion, an XWayland bypass with safety checks and a runtime toggle, and gamepad button remapping with hold-to-Home functionality and rumble support. There’s also a new “moonshine-bench” benchmarking tool, an mDNS advertisement mode selector, and an IPv4-only streaming option.
