Summary

Adds release notes for AppStream 2.0 client version 1.5.0.1071, noting the switch from an EXE to an MSI package for per-device installation, a DCV SDK update, and bug fixes.

Security assessment

This is a routine client release note describing a packaging change (EXE to MSI) and SDK update. No vulnerability, credential, or access-control content is referenced, so it is not security-related.

Evidence

+  * Updated the client to use a Windows Installer (MSI) package, enabling per-device installation for all users. The client is no longer distributed as an EXE installer; if you deploy the client using automation, update your scripts to use the MSI package.
