| 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) |
| 317 | | * Windows hosts (64-bit only): enabled removing of all mediums when removing a VM |
| 318 | | * Windows hosts (64-bit only): enabled live snapshot deletion |
| 319 | | * Windows hosts: use native controls in the installer (bug #5520) |
| 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 |
| 324 | | * Solaris Additions: fixed automounting of shared folders (bug #8014) |
