This changelog is the comprehensive history of Parsec's product changes. Some of the features listed have been deprecated or were changed in later updates. We thought, rather than changing old posts, it would be fun for everyone to see the whole history of the product's development. For a perspective on Parsec's product and our product philosophy, we wrote a blog post in December 2017 about the early history of the Parsec Game Streaming software.

Improvements
[Windows host] When using “Use Client Resolution” and Parsec Virtual Displays, the client resolution will be dynamically added to the Virtual Display. Previously if you were using a non-standard display resolution on the client display, you would need to manually add the resolution to the host registry.
[Windows host] When using Privacy mode, Parsec will now automatically re-enable displays where the user had selected “Remove display from the desktop” using the Advanced Display Settings found in Windows 10/11 Enterprise.  Disabling the display using this setting would break Privacy Mode.  
[All clients] Display a banner in settings to make it more obvious when we have detected a hardware video decoder to be non-functional and offer the user a method to re-try using the decoder.
[Windows/macOS/Linux client] When “Automatically Open Additional Screens” is selected and you connect to a Windows host, Parsec will no longer open additional screens until after you have successfully logged into your Windows account on the host. 
[macOS client] Parsec now uses more screen real estate in fullscreen on modern Mac computers with screen notches.
Bugfixes
[Windows/macOS host] Fixed a bug where the app only checks once for the host start port configuration, preventing it from being updated later or set correctly via App Rules if there is no internet connectivity on app start.
[Windows/macOS/Linux client] Fixed a bug where a guest connecting to a host owned by a different account could access the host user’s second or third screen unintentionally when enabling “Automatically Open Additional Screens”.
[All] Fixed a bug where it was possible for the Parsec app to stop talking to the Parsec backend when the app was running for a very long time.
[Windows host/client] Fixed a bug where the app configuration may get reset at app start.
[Windows host] Fixed a bug with capturing UAC prompts that primarily impacted Windows computers running ARM Architecture.
[Windows client/host] Fixed a bug where Parsec interprocess communication was slow on ARM Architecture.
[Linux client] Fixed a bug in various distros where if a dependency was missing that Parsec required, the app may deadlock.

New
[All] AES-256 encryption is automatically used for connections when both client and host are running build 150-95. If they are not, our existing AES-128 encryption is used.
[Windows] The Parsec app now spawns two parsecd.exe processes, one for the host functionality and one for the client functionality. The client parsecd.exe process now runs with user permissions to improve system security and makes way for our new web-based user experience that will be available for Windows at a later date.
Improvements
[All] Immersive mode is now controllable via the overlay when connected to your host.
[All] We have simplified the audio codec selection process, so now you only need to select the audio codec (uncompressed Opus / uncompressed RAW) from the client side.
[Windows/macOS client] Various mouse cursor sizing and sharpness improvements.
Bugfixes
[Windows host] The Parsec app will now be visible when connecting to a host via RDP.
[Windows host] Fixed an issue where the Parsec app would connect you to a black display at the login screen when a virtual machine has a software display adapter connected to support an out-of-band management console for your hypervisor.

[macOS client] Disable new experimental UI for macOS versions below 11.0
[All] Fixed bug where hardware decoders supporting H.265 would not be used if they do not support H.264 also.
[All] Fixed bug where Ignore Hotkey option was ignored by the Parsec app.
[Windows/macOS host 150-95A] Fixed bug in 150-95 where the host would not fetch app rules for the first 30 minutes if the app started before the host had an internet connection.
[Windows 150-95A] Fixed bug in 150-95 where the Virtual Wacom Tablet pen inputs/buttons would not behave as expected.

New
Switching screens via the Parsec overlay is now available to everyone
BUD congestion control revision impacting video quality
May have a huge impact on quality in high bitrate and/or high latency scenarios
May particularly help with text quality in a remote desktop scenario when paired with a higher bitrate setting
Added a client overlay warning indicating when congestion events occur -- lowering bitrate is usually the solution
In the case of any regressions, the old algorithm is able to be selected in the Network settings
[Teams] Force Relay setting added to ensure that all network traffic uses the specified HPR, even if other routes are available
Improvements
Parsec should work more reliably on hybrid graphics laptops (NVIDIA Optimus, AMD PowerXpress)
Revised the client decoder warning to be less obtrusive, and made it toggleable in settings
Log file is not longer cleared when Parsec starts, and is now cycled if it reaches 1MB
Arcade sessions now show much more informative guest connection errors to the host
Parsec will no longer close while other applications are blocking a logoff and the user cancels (Windows)
Switching between fullscreen and windowed mode is now more robust on Windows (sizes are better preserved)
Bugfixes
Echo cancellation will now activate much more reliably
Addressed Arcade 1407 errors
Fixed mouse issues in some games/apps such as Star Citizen and Source Filmmaker
Fixed a bug in Arcade that could cause the host's cursor to move to the upper left corner of the screen on guest connection
Arcade banned users no longer generate blank or garbled messages when trying to reconnect
Fixed a bug that could cause mouse input to be processed by a window that was hidden on a space (macOS)
Certain hotkeys that are associated with Teams/Warp features will no longer be consumed if Teams/Warp is not enabled
Fixed a bug that would cause macOS rendering to get slightly blurry when the window as in the background or on a second screen
Fixed a bug that could cause certain controllers on macOS/Windows to create two controllers and provide bad input
Admin host muting behavior is no longer permanent after the first owner connects
Fixed a bug that could cause the service on Windows to fail to relaunch Parsec after a crash
Virtual Display Driver
Updated to version 0.37
Added the ability to add custom resolutions via the registry ([examples](https://support.parsec.app/hc/en-us/articles/360054478211))
Fixed incompatibility (error -10) issues on older versions of Windows 10
Fixed a bug related to hardware cursor support sometimes failing
Privacy warning will no longer show when no displays are connected
Privacy mode will no longer lock the desktop when a non-owner disconnects
Added more baked in resolutions

New
Arcade users can now use keyboards as gamepads (!!!)
Check button mapping in the overlay
Keyboard can also be used as a second gamepad if you're into that sort of thing
The Parsec overlay has been upgraded for both hosts and guests. You can now do all sorts of things right from the overlay, like:
Manage host monitors as a guest
Set stream bitrate
Change whether an Arcade session is public or private
Adjust the number of seats in an Arcade session
Reset guest gamepads in an Arcade session
Manage, kick, and permanently block guests (pesky trolls be danged)
You can unblock guests by deleting them from "block.txt" in the Parsec asset directory
Added gamepad shortcut to bring up the Parsec overlay: hit "LB + BACK" to bring it up (not compatible with all gamepads)
Introduced "Constant FPS Mode", accessible the client overlay
Sets the stream at full framerate, even when the screen goes static
Great for reading docs, fine-editing photos, or staring blankly at an empty monitor
[Teams] Customers can stream two monitors simultaneously
Position the screens independently of one another, and adjust each screen's settings right from the overlay
Improvements
Improved overlay performance when on the desktop and/or when framerate is low
Host computers display the number of connected guests
Tweaked colors & altered column behavior on the Computers/Arcade pages
Arcade sessions without open seats are dimmed & moved to the bottom of the list, making it easier to find open sessions
Adjusting the bandwidth setting no longer resets it to the minimum; the stream will either speed up or slow down to the new setting
Scrolling & flinging behavior feels a lot better on Android
Bugfixes
Fixed a bug that could cause frame stuttering every couple of seconds
Fixed a bug that could cause glitches in the macOS UI with Metal enabled
Fixed a bug that caused the cursor to reappear in the wrong place when leaving relative mode on a second monitor
Fixed truncated text in the UI in some scenarios
Fixed inconsistent font spacing and alignment when using very high or low DPI settings
