How versions work#

Two identifiers ride every release. The SemVer display title (for example SolarFlare v1.3.0) is what release pages, badges, and headings show. The chronological build version (for example v2026.909.1-solarflare) is the git tag, the CMake PROJECT_VERSION, the sunshine --version output, and the GET /api/health version that Moonlight and update tooling compare. Upstream Sunshine cherry-picks are logged per release so inherited fixes stay traceable.
