15 Change log Linux guests: fix support for disabling mouse integration (bug #6714) Webservice: fixed a rare crash when calling IGuest methods from the webservice OVF: fixed wrong hard disk UUIDs on export (bug #6802) OVF: fixed 3.2.0 regression importing legacy OVF 0.9 files 3D support: fixed OpenGL support for 64bit applications on windows guests 3D support: fixed various host crashes (bugs #2954, #5713, #6443) 15.10 Version 3.2.0 (2010-05-18) This version is a major update. The following major new features were added: Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation, the product is now called “Oracle VM VirtualBox” and all references were changed without impacting compat- ibility Experimental support for Mac OS X Server guests (see chapter 3.1.1, Mac OS X Server guests, page 40) Memory ballooning to dynamically in- or decrease the amount of RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only) (see chapter 4.8.1, Memory ballooning, page 69) Page Fusion automatically de-duplicates RAM when running similar VMs thereby increas- ing capacity. Currently supported for Windows guests on 64-bit hosts (see chapter 4.8.2, Page Fusion, page 69) CPU hot-plugging for Linux (hot-add and hot-remove) and certain Windows guests (hot- add only) (see chapter 9.5, CPU hot-plugging, page 140) New Hypervisor features: with both VT-x/AMD-V on 64-bit hosts, using large pages can improve performance (see chapter 10.6, Nested paging and VPIDs, page 161) also, on VT- x, unrestricted guest execution is now supported (if nested paging is enabled with VT-x, real mode and protected mode without paging code runs faster, which mainly speeds up guest OS booting) Support for deleting snapshots while the VM is running Support for multi-monitor guest setups in the GUI for Windows guests (see chapter 3.5, Display settings, page 45) USB tablet/keyboard emulation for improved user experience if no Guest Additions are available (see chapter 3.4.1, “Motherboard” tab, page 43) LsiLogic SAS controller emulation (see chapter 5.1, Hard disk controllers: IDE, SATA (AHCI), SCSI, SAS, page 71) RDP video acceleration (see chapter 7.1.9, VRDP video redirection, page 96) NAT engine configuration via API and VBoxManage Use of host I/O cache is now configurable (see chapter 5.7, Host I/O caching, page 80) Guest Additions: added support for executing guest applications from the host system (replaces the automatic system preparation feature see chapter 4.7, Guest control, page 68) 197
