This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:
‧ OVF (Open Virtualization Format) appliance import and export (see chapter
3.8, Importing and exporting virtual machines, page 55)
‧ Host-only networking mode (see chapter 6.7, Host-only networking, page 88)
‧ Hypervisor optimizations with significant performance gains for high
context switching rates
‧ Raised the memory limit for VMs on 64-bit hosts to 16GB
‧ VT-x/AMD-V are enabled by default for newly created virtual machines
‧ USB (OHCI & EHCI) is enabled by default for newly created virtual machines
(Qt GUI only)
‧ Experimental USB support for OpenSolaris hosts
‧ Shared folders for Solaris and OpenSolaris guests
‧ OpenGL 3D acceleration for Linux and Solaris guests (see chapter 4.8,
Hardware 3D acceleration (OpenGL), page 70)
‧ Added C API in addition to C++, Java, Python and Web Services
In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:
‧ VMM: FreeBSD guest related fix for V86 flags (bug #2342)
‧ VMM: fixed guru meditation when booting an AsteriskNow Linux VM (bug #2342)
‧ VMM: fixed PGMPOOLKIND_FREE guru meditation (bugs #3356, #3431)
‧ VMM: fixed Windows XP boot hang (guest PAE + nested paging only)
‧ VMM: allow mixing of VT-x/AMD-V and software virtualization
‧ VMM: fixed extremely slow safe mode booting in e.g. Windows 2008
(VTx/AMD-V only)
‧ VMM: significant speedup of certain GRUB boot loaders (e.g. Solaris)
(VTx/AMD-V only)

‧ VMM: fixed VT-x detection with certain BIOSes that enable VT-x, but don’t
set the lock bit in MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL
‧ VMM: fixed hibernation issues on Windows XP hosts (VT-x only; bug #1794)
‧ VMM: properly emulate RDMSR from the TSC MSR, should fix some NetBSD guests

‧ Hard disk: support more VMDK file variants (including fixed-size ESX
server images)
‧ Hard disks: refuse to start the VM if a disk image is not writable
‧ USB: further reduced host CPU utilization for OHCI and EHCI; the “

bug #1654)

‧ VRDP: fixed hangs when VRDP server is enabled or disabled in runtime
‧ Shared folders: respect umask settings on Linux, OSX and Solaris hosts
when creating files
‧ X11 guests: prevented setting the locale in vboxmouse, as this caused
problems with Turkish locales (bug #3563)

virtual desktop is larger than the guest resolution (bug #2306)
‧ Linux additions: fixed typo when detecting Xorg 1.6 (bug #3555)
‧ Solaris guests: added xpg4/xcu4 dependency to the guest additions
installer (bug #3524)
‧ Windows guests: bind the VBoxMouse.sys filter driver to the correct guest
pointing device (bug #1324)
‧ Windows hosts: fixed BSOD when starting a VM with enabled host interface
(bug #3414)
‧ Linux hosts: do proper reference counting to prevent unloading the
vboxnetflt module as long as this code is in use (bug #3104)
‧ Linux hosts: do not leave zombies of VBoxSysInfo.sh (bug #3586)
‧ Linux installers: fixes for Slackware, Arch Linux and Linux from Scratch
systems
‧ Windows installers: combined installer executable which contains both (32-
and 64-bit) architectures.
‧ VBoxManage: less cryptic command-line error messages

‧ VBoxManage controlvm dvdattach did not work if the image was attached
before
‧ VBoxManage: allow creation of all supported disk image variants
‧ VBoxManage showvminfo: don’t spam the release log if the additions don’t
support statistics information (bug #3457)
‧ VBoxManage: big command line processing cleanup, the legacy single-dash
options are deprecated and will be removed in the next major release, so
switch to the new options now
‧ Hard disks: improved immutable disk support to auto-reset diff file at VM
startup (related to bug #2772)
‧ GUI: enable the audio adapter by default for new VMs
‧ GUI: warn if VT-x/AMD-V is not operational when starting a 64-bit guest
‧ GUI: deactivate 64-bit guest support when the host CPU does not support
VTx/AMD-V
