| Di seguito sono consultabili le note di rilascio - in gergo "release notes" - relative al file Oracle VirtualBox 7.2.0, nel caso in cui gli sviluppatori abbiano reso disponibile tale documentazione in occasione della pubblicazione del software. Tuttavia, se hai bisogno di maggiori informazioni su Oracle VirtualBox 7.2.0, o se le note di rilascio non sono (ancora) disponibili, è comunque possibile procedere con la lettura della descrizione del file. |
This is a major update. The following new features were added:
- GUI: Moved global and VM tools from hamburger menus to global tools taskbar (vertically on the left) and the VM tools tabs (horizontally above the right hand panel) to make them easier to reach
- Windows/Arm host: Arm virtualization of VMs added, in the unified Windows installer package
- Arm host: Virtualization of Windows 11/Arm VMs
- Linux host: Video decoding acceleration when 3D is enabled
- Windows/Arm guest: Guest additions for new OS type Windows 11/Arm
- macOS Arm host: Experimental 3D acceleration support using DXMT, removing the previous non working solution using DXVK on top of MoltenVK. 3D acceleration is not supported on macOS hosts using Intel CPUs anymore.
- Storage: The NVMe storage controller emulation is now part of the open source base package
In addition, the following items were fixed or added:
- Arm VMs: Note that the saved state of Arm VMs from VirtualBox 7.1 is incompatible with VirtualBox 7.2, so please shut down such VMs in saved state before upgrading to 7.2 (snapshots with associated saved state created with 7.1 will no longer work with 7.2)
- VMM: Improved x86_64 and Arm CPU feature reporting when using Windows Hyper-V as the virtualization engine
- VMM: Added xsave/xrestor instruction handling when using Windows/x86_64 Hyper-V as the virtualization engine, offering the x86_64-v3 instruction set extensions (including AVX and AVX2) on recent CPUs
- VMM: Fixed issue when X86_64-v3 features were not passed to the guest (?github:gh-36)
- VMM/HM: Fixed Nested Virtualization feature on Intel CPUs
- GUI: Fixed a bug in clone VM wizard which made impossible to include snapshots in clone result (?github:GH-59)
- GUI: Polished Preferences and Settings pages, NLS fixing
- GUI: Improved handling of keyboard LEDs in the Soft Keyboard
- GUI: Added checkbox for making a Shared Folder global to all VMs
- GUI: Removed IO-APIC from Arm VM settings
- Graphics: Avoid assertion when guest tries to use VMSVGA 3D functions when the feature is disabled
- Audio: Fixed crash in rare circumstances (?github:gh-72)
- NAT: Multiple fixes and improvements, for example better DNS server handling, saving of the VM settings and generating a boot file name which stays within the length limit
- NAT Network: Use the (almost) same code as for NAT, unifying behavior and features
- NAT: Fixed possible crash in rare circumstances when no nameservers could be detected in the host system
- Storage: Fixed corruption of VMDK images when resizing
- Video Recording: Fixed frame synchronization, a small memory leak and other bugs
- TPM: Fixed save state load failures
- Arm VMs: ACPI now available
- API/Unattended: Added explicit unattended installation support for Oracle Linux 10
- API and VBoxManage: Added functionality to define global Shared Folders for all VMs
- API: Fixed issue when OVF/OVA import resulted in a broken VM on Arm (bug #22370)
- API: Fixed issue when exporting a VM which had an inaccessible disk resulted in crash
- VBoxManage: Document currently unavailable NAT options
- Linux host and guest: Initial support for kernel version 6.16
- Linux/Solaris host: Fixed swapped scan code for Pause and Num Lock keys in the table used when relying on Xkb for translation
- Windows host: Removed release assertion causing crash of VBoxUsbMon driver if unloading fails
- Arm host: vboxwebsrv is now included in the packages
- Linux host and guest: Introduced initial support for kernel 6.17
- Linux guest: Fixed handling of (long optional) vboxvideo kernel module in init script
- Linux guest: Fixed start failure of VBoxClient with kernel from the 2.6 series or older
- Windows/Arm guest: Added WDDM Graphics driver, with 2D and 3D mode
- Windows/Arm guest: Added Shared Folder feature
- Windows Host: Added improvements in Windows drivers installation
- Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when autorun installer was not automatically starting on Additions ISO image insert for Oracle Linux 10 and RHEL 10 guests
- BIOS: Fixed keyboard translation, added and updated several entries and do not report keypresses when scan code and ASCII code are both zero
- BIOS: Fixed error reporting fo single sided floppy disks
- UEFI: Added workaround for Grub bug causing guest OS crashes
- UEFI: Fixed macOS kernel logging over serial port (?github:gh-82)
- 3rd Party Tools: Eliminated build time dependency on libIDL and IASL
