| | 259 | This version is a major update. The following major new features were added: |
| | 260 | * Support for cloning of VMs (bug #5853, see the manual for more information): full clones can be created through the GUI and VBoxManage, linked clones only through VBoxManage |
| | 261 | * GUI: enhanced wizard for creating new virtual disks |
| | 262 | * GUI: new wizard for copying virtual disks |
| | 263 | * GUI: keep the aspect ratio in scale mode (Windows and OSX hosts only; bug #7822) |
| | 264 | * VMM: raised the memory limit for 64-bit hosts to 1TB |
| | 265 | * Experimental support for PCI passthrough for Linux hosts, see the manual for more information |
| | 266 | * Windows guests: Experimental WDDM graphics driver, supporting Windows Aero (bug #4607) and providing Direct3D support using a cleaner approach (no need to install the guest drivers in Safe Mode anymore) |
| | 267 | * Guest Additions: status of modules and features can now be queried separately by the frontends |
| | 268 | * Networking: new network attachment mode "Generic Driver", which offers an open plugin architecture for arbitrary and separately distributable virtual network implementations |
| | 269 | * Host-only Networking: fixed host crash in kernels prior to 2.6.29 |
| | 270 | * New Networking Mode UDP Tunnel: allows to interconnect VMs running on different hosts easily and transparently, see the manual for more information |
| | 271 | * Experimental support for SATA hard disk hotplugging available with VBoxManage |
| | 272 | * Solaris hosts: New Crossbow based bridged networking driver for Solaris 11 build 159 and above |
| | 273 | In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added: |
| | 274 | * VMM: more SMP timer fixes |
| | 275 | * VMM: fixed sporadic recompiler crashes with SMP guests |
| | 276 | * VMM: many small fixes |
| | 277 | * GUI: when reverting to a snapshot, ask for taking a snapshot of the current state |
| | 278 | * GUI: added a View menu |
| | 279 | * GUI: added a setting for the promiscuous mode policy for internal networks, bridged networks and host-only networks |
| | 280 | * GUI: added slider for setting the CPU execution cap allowing to limit the amount of CPU time spent for the execution of the guest, see the manual for more information. |
| | 281 | * GUI: the VM description is editable during the runtime of a VM (bug #1551) |
| | 282 | * GUI: added proxy settings (bug #2870) |
| | 283 | * GUI: made the number of SATA ports configurable |
| | 284 | * GUI: decrease time before showing the VM configuration dialog |
| | 285 | * VBoxManage: more convenient configuration of storage controller attachments by automatically determining the port or device parameter when a storage controller has only one port or device per port |
| | 286 | * VBoxManage: changed syntax of the guestcontrol command group, fixed various bugs, removed obsolete options |
| | 287 | * VBoxBalloonCtrl: new service for automatic dynamic adjustment of the balloon size for running VMs |
| | 288 | * Settings: machine names and snapshot names are not allowed to be a valid UUID |
| | 289 | * Settings: provide better diagnostics if a single medium is used twice in a VM configuration |
| | 290 | * Settings: provide better diagnostics for errors in medium create/merge/clone operations, and fix memory leaks in error cases |
| | 291 | * Storage: ATA/SATA drives can be marked as non-rotational, i.e. the guest OS will detect them as a SSD if supported, which can improve performance |
| | 292 | * Storage: virtual CD/DVD images will be detached if the guest ejects the medium, unless the drive is marked to handle ejects only on a temporary basis |
| | 293 | * Storage: the medium UUID can be changed again when attaching a medium for the first time, which allows using images which are exact duplicates including the UUID |
| | 294 | * Storage: fixed possible data corruption under certain circumstances with VHD and Parallels images (bug #9150) |
| | 295 | * Storage: fixed unnecessary expansion when cloning differential images in VDI format |
| | 296 | * Storage: fixed detection code to handle empty files for VDI and VMDK format |
| | 297 | * Storage: fixed access to CD/DVD images beyond 4GB when using the SATA controller (bug #8592) |
| | 298 | * Floppy: several bugs have been fixed |
| | 299 | * Floppy: make it possible to unmount a host floppy disk (bug #6651) |
| | 300 | * BIOS: disk-related structures are now checksummed correctly (bug #8739) |
| | 301 | * USB: many fixes for the Windows USB host driver |
| | 302 | * NAT: reduced memory footprint |
| | 303 | * Networking: fixed the problem with segmentation offloading when several VMs are transmitting in parallel |
| | 304 | * Networking: workaround for a bug in wireshark when operating directly on a capture file created by !VirtualBox |
| | 305 | * Serial: announce the serial devices in the ACPI tables to make Windows guests find the virtual hardware (bug #7411) |
| | 306 | * VRDP: support for TLS connections (see the manual for more information) |
| | 307 | * VRDP: support for multimonitor client configurations with MS RDP clients |
| | 308 | * VRDP: fixed a rare screen corruption |
| | 309 | * 3D support: fixed ''GL_VERSION'' string for different locales (bug #8916) |
| | 310 | * Webservice: fixed timeout handling with HTTP 1.1 keepalive, and be more robust when connections fail |
| | 311 | * VBoxSVC: fixed regression when several clients trigger autostart simultaneously |
| | 312 | * Main: fixed incorrect handling of the medium location for media which are not file based (e.g. iSCSI), which resulted in confusing location values in many places |
| | 313 | * JAX-WS client bindings: fixed resource leak |
| | 314 | * Sources: fixed USB 2.0 support using extension packs for non-official builds |
| | 315 | * Mac OS X hosts: fixed non-VT-x mode on Lion hosts |
| | 316 | * Windows hosts: fixed copy'n'paste in the GUI and for the VM window (bug #4491) |

| | 320 | * Solaris hosts: fixed preemption issue with Solaris 11 hosts (builds 166 and above) |
| | 321 | * Solaris hosts: better control of USB device access on Solaris 11 hosts |
| | 322 | * Guest Additions: improved driver installation on Windows guests |
| | 323 | * Guest Additions: fixed high CPU usage while executing guest programs from the host |
