[vbox-dev] Announcement: VirtualBox 7.0.12 released

[Klaus Espenlaub]

Really mysterious. I've double checked that the code in 7.0.12 was 
indeed copied from trunk, and we're successfully building the OSE 
variant (i.e. the same as would end up in a tarball) on macOS and 
Windows using the in-tree openssl code to make sure it works.

We'll look into this further and probably provide a fixed 7.0.12 tarball.

Just to state it: if course it is possible to build VirtualBox that it 
uses system openssl. Then the in-tree openssl code shouldn't be used.
