Changes since Beta 1: (regressions and fixes for new features only; additional fixes below)
High CPU usage with certain idle Windows guests (e.g. XP SP2)
Performance improvements for SMP guests
Reset issues with SMP guests
Windows 7 x64 boot problems with SMP
Windows 7 shutdown hangs with SMP
Hanging VM when unmounting an ISO with SMP guests
Several OpenGL & Direct3D related fixes
Version 3.0 will be a major update. The following major new features were added:
Guest SMP with up to 32 virtual CPUs (VT-x and AMD-V only)
Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental)
Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests
In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:
Solaris hosts: allow suspend/resume on the host when a VM is running (bug #3826)
Solaris hosts: tighten 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 occassional 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)
GUI: added mini toolbar for fullscreen and seamless mode (Thanks to Huihong Luo)
GUI: redesigned settings dialogs
GUI: allow to create/remove one host-only network adapters
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 apps using incorrect opengl states
VRDP: support Windows 7 RDP client
Networking: fixed another problem with TX checksum offloading with Linux kernels up to version 2.6.18
NAT: allow to configure socket and internal parameters
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)
OVF: several OVF 1.0 compatibility fixes
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 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 syncronization 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
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
