[vbox-dev] API changes in 4.3

[Ian Moore]

Hello,

It looks like there is an undocumented change. HWVirtExProperty 'Exclusive'
no longer exists and 'UnrestrictedExecution' is now present. Should I
assume that Exclusive is now named UnrestrictedExecution?

It also looks like IMedium->variant and IMedium->capabilities are broken
via vboxwebsrv. If I understand correctly, this should return an array of
long values that correspond to the enumeration mappings. Instead, these
appear to return an array of strings. Here is the raw soap request and
response:

            [__last_request] => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:ns1="http://www.virtualbox.org/
"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:IMedium_getVariant><_this>518fcea9b848e314-00000000000004cf</_this></ns1:IMedium_getVariant></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

            [__last_response] => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:vbox="http://www.virtualbox.org/
"><SOAP-ENV:Body><vbox:IMedium_getVariantResponse><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Diff</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval><returnval>Standard</returnval></vbox:IMedium_getVariantResponse></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
        )

Not only is it an array of strings, but there are many duplicates.

IMedium->capabilities exhibits similar behavior. Then again, I may be doing
something wrong.
