Sun xVM VirtualBox 3.0.0 vydán
Neuběhl ani měsíc od vydání beta verze VirtualBoxu
3.0 a už tu máme finální verzi VirtualBox 3.0.0.
Nové vlastnosti
- Podpora až 32 virtuálních procesorů ve virtuálních strojích (pouze
s technologií Intel VT-x/AMD-V) - Virtuální stroje s Windows: možnost spouštět aplikace používající
Direct3D 8/9 nebo hry (experimentální funkce) - Podpora OpenGL 2.0 pro virtuální stroje s OS Windows, Linux nebo
Solaris
Následující položky byly v tomto vydání přidány nebo opraveny
- Solaris hosts: allow suspend/resume on the host when a VM is running
(bug #3826) - Solaris hosts: loosen the restriction for contiguous physical memory under
certain conditions - Mac OS X hosts: fixed guest PAE
- Linux hosts: kernel module compile fixes for 2.6.31 (bug #4264)
- VMM: fixed occasional guru meditation when loading a saved state
(VT-x only) - VMM: eliminated IO-APIC overhead with 32 bits guests (VT-x only, some Intel
CPUs don’t support this feature (most do); bug #638) - VMM: fixed 64 bits CentOS guest hangs during early boot (AMD-V only;
bug #3927) - VMM: performance improvements for certain PAE guests (e.g. Linux 2.6.29+
kernels) - VMM: some Windows guests detected a completely wrong CPU frequency
(bug #2227) - VMM: fixed hanging and unkillable VM processes (bug #4040)
- VMM: fixed random infrequent guest crashes due to XMM state corruption
(Win64 hosts only) - VMM: performance improvements for network I/O (VT-x/AMD-V only)
- GUI: added mini toolbar for fullscreen and seamless mode (Thanks to
Huihong Luo) - GUI: redesigned settings dialogs
- GUI: allow to create/remove more than one host-only network adapters (non
Windows hosts) - GUI: display estimated time for long running operations (e.g. OVF
import/export) - GUI: fixed rare hangs when open the OVF import/export wizards
(bug #4157) - 3D support: fixed VM crashes for client applications using incorrect
OpenGL states - 3D support: fixed memory corruption when querying for supported texture
compression formats - 3D support: fixed incorrect rendering of glDrawRangeElements
- 3D support: fixed memory leak when using VBOs
- 3D support: fixed glew library detection
- 3D support: fixed random textures corruption
- VRDP: support Windows 7 RDP client
- Networking: fixed another problem with TX checksum offloading with Linux
kernels up to version 2.6.18 - NAT: fixed “open ports on virtual router 10.0.2.2 – 513, 514”
(forum) - NAT: allow to configure socket and internal parameters
- NAT: allow to bind sockets to specific interface
- PXE boot: significant performance increase (VT-x/AMD-V only)
- VHD: properly write empty sectors when cloning of VHD images
(bug #4080) - VHD: fixed crash when discarding snapshots of a VHD image
- VHD: fixed access beyond the block bitmap which could lead to arbitrary
crashes - VBoxManage: fixed incorrect partition table processing when creating VMDK
files giving raw partition access (bug #3510) - VBoxManage: support cloning to existing image file
- OVF: several OVF 1.0 compatibility fixes
- OVF: fixed exporting of disk images when multiple virtual machines are
exported at once - Virtual mouse device: eliminated micro-movements of the virtual mouse which
were confusing some applications (bug #3782) - Shared Folders: sometimes a file was created using the wrong permissions
(2.2.0 regression; bug #3785) - Shared Folders: allow to change file attributes from Linux guests and use
the correct file mode when creating files - Shared Folders: some content was incorrectly written under certain
conditions (bug #1187) - Shared Folders: fixed incorrect file timestamps, when using Windows guest
on a Linux host (bug #3404) - X11 clipboard: fix duplicate end of lines (bug #4270)
- X11 guests: a number of shared clipboard fixes
- Linux guests: Guest Additions support for SUSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop 11 - Linux guests: new daemon vboxadd-service to handle time synchronization and
guest property lookup - Linux guests: implemented guest properties (OS info, logged in users, basic
network information) - Windows host installer: VirtualBox Python API can now be installed
automatically (requires Python and Win32 Extensions installed) - USB: Support for high-speed isochronous endpoints has been added. In
addition, read-ahead buffering is performed for input endpoints (currently Linux
hosts only). This should allow additional devices to work, notably webcams
(bug #242). - USB: fixed error handling for some USB dongles
- Web service: fixed inability to handle NULL pointers for object arguments,
which are valid values for a lot of APIs, in both the raw and the
object-oriented web service. - Web service: object-oriented bindings for JAX-WS did not exhibit interface
inheritance correctly, fixed - Web service: added support for IDisplay and IGuest interfaces, which were
previously unavailable - Registration dialog uses Sun Online accounts now
