- update to Virtualbox 4.1.0 (major update)
* Support for cloning of VMs (bug #5853): full clones can be created through the GUI and VBoxManage, linked clones only through VBoxManage
* GUI: enhanced wizard for creating new virtual disks
* GUI: new wizard for copying virtual disks
* GUI: keep the aspect ratio in scale mode (Windows and OSX hosts only; bug #7822)
* VMM: raised the memory limit for 64-bit hosts to 1TB
* Experimental support for PCI passthrough for Linux hosts, see the manual for more information
* Windows guests: Experimental WDDM graphics driver, supporting Windows Aero (bug #4607) and providing Direct3D support using a cleaner approach (no need to install the guest drivers in Safe Mode anymore)
* Guest Additions: status of modules and features can now be queried separately by the frontends
* Networking: new network attachment mode "Generic Driver", which offers an open plugin architecture for arbitrary and separately distributable virtual network implementations
* Host-only Networking: fixed host crash in kernels prior to 2.6.29
* New Networking Mode UDP Tunnel: allows to interconnect VMs running on different hosts easily and transparently
* Experimental support for SATA hard disk hotplugging available with VBoxManage
* Solaris hosts: New Crossbow based bridged networking driver for Solaris 11 build 159 and above
* VMM: more SMP timer fixes
* VMM: fixed sporadic recompiler crashes with SMP guests
* VMM: many small fixes
* GUI: when reverting to a snapshot, ask for taking a snapshot of the current state
* GUI: added a View menu
* GUI: added a setting for the promiscuous mode policy for internal networks, bridged networks and host-only networks
* GUI: added slider for setting the CPU execution cap allowing to limit the amount of CPU time spent for the execution of the guest
* GUI: the VM description is editable during the runtime of a VM (bug #1551)
* GUI: added proxy settings (bug #2870)
* GUI: made the number of SATA ports configurable
* GUI: decrease time before showing the VM configuration dialog
* VBoxManage: more convenient configuration of storage controller attachments by automatically determining the port or device parameter when a storage controller has only one port or device per port
* VBoxManage: changed syntax of the guestcontrol command group, fixed various bugs, removed obsolete options
* VBoxBalloonCtrl: new service for automatic dynamic adjustment of the balloon size for running VMs
* Settings: machine names and snapshot names are not allowed to be a valid UUID
* Settings: provide better diagnostics if a single medium is used twice in a VM configuration
* Settings: provide better diagnostics for errors in medium create/merge/clone operations, and fix memory leaks in error cases
* Storage: ATA/SATA drives can be marked as non-rotational, i.e. the guest OS will detect them as a SSD if supported, which can improve performance
* Storage: virtual CD/DVD images will be detached if the guest ejects the medium, unless the drive is marked to handle ejects only on a temporary basis
* Storage: the medium UUID can be changed again when attaching a medium for the first time, which allows using images which are exact duplicates including the UUID
* Storage: fixed possible data corruption under certain circumstances with VHD and Parallels images (bug #9150)
* Storage: fixed unnecessary expansion when cloning differential images in VDI format
* Storage: fixed detection code to handle empty files for VDI and VMDK format
* Storage: fixed access to CD/DVD images beyond 4GB when using the SATA controller (bug #8592)
* Floppy: several bugs have been fixed
* Floppy: make it possible to unmount a host floppy disk (bug #6651)
* BIOS: disk-related structures are now checksummed correctly (bug #8739)
* USB: many fixes for the Windows USB host driver
* NAT: reduced memory footprint
* Networking: fixed the problem with segmentation offloading when several VMs are transmitting in parallel
* Networking: workaround for a bug in wireshark when operating directly on a capture file created by VirtualBox
* Serial: announce the serial devices in the ACPI tables to make Windows guests find the virtual hardware (bug #7411)
* VRDP: support for TLS connections (see the manual for more information)
* VRDP: support for multimonitor client configurations with MS RDP clients
* VRDP: fixed a rare screen corruption
* 3D support: fixed GL_VERSION string for different locales (bug #8916)
* Webservice: fixed timeout handling with HTTP 1.1 keepalive, and be more robust when connections fail
* VBoxSVC: fixed regression when several clients trigger autostart simultaneously
* Main: fixed incorrect handling of the medium location for media which are not file based, which resulted in confusing location values in many places
* JAX-WS client bindings: fixed resource leak
* Sources: fixed USB 2.0 support using extension packs for non-official builds
* Mac OS X hosts: fixed non-VT-x mode on Lion hosts
* Windows hosts: fixed copy'n'paste in the GUI and for the VM window (bug #4491)
* Windows hosts (64-bit only): enabled removing of all mediums when removing a VM
* Windows hosts (64-bit only): enabled live snapshot deletion
* Windows hosts: use native controls in the installer (bug #5520)
* Solaris hosts: fixed preemption issue with Solaris 11 hosts (builds 166 and above)
* Solaris hosts: better control of USB device access on Solaris 11 hosts
* Guest Additions: improved driver installation on Windows guests
* Guest Additions: fixed high CPU usage while executing guest programs from the host
