Main: OVF Import/Export: Added support for importing and exporting VMs containing NVMe storage controllers (bug #19320)
Main: OVF Import/Export: Added support for exporting a VM which contains a medium inserted into a virtual CD/DVD drive which is attached to a Virtio-SCSI controller
Devices: Fixed a problem where Windows guests "forget" in-progress touch events when the user holds down a finger without moving it for a period of time.
macOS Host USB: Added support for newer storage devices
macOS Host: Fixed memory Leak in the VBoxIntNetSwitch process when VM was configured to use 'Internal Networking' (bug #21752)

- VirtualBox 7.0.10 (released July 18 2023)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
OCI: Introduced general improvements
VMM: Fixed a bug while walking page tables while executing nested VMs causing flooding of the release log as a consequence (Intel hosts only, bug #21551)
GUI: Added general improvements
TPM: Fixed a crash when a VM has a TPM version 1.2 configured (bug #21622)
3D: Initial support for OpenGL 4.1
3D: Fixed various graphics issues with Windows 11 guests (bugs #21136, #21515)
Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed parameter "--ignore-orphaned-processes"
Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed behavior of how handling argument 0 for a started guest process works: One can now explicitly specify it with the newly added option "--arg0". This will effectively restore the behavior of former VirtualBox versions
Audio: Also use the PulseAudio backend when pipewire-pulse is running instead of falling back to ALSA (bug #21575)
NAT: Adjusted UDP proxy timeout from 18-21 to 21-24 range to respect intended 20 second timeout (bug #21560)
Linux Host: Added initial support for Indirect Branch Tracking (bug #21435)
Linux Host: Added initial support for kernel 6.5 (NOTE: Guest Additions do not support kernel 6.5 yet)
Linux Host and Guest: Improved condition check when kernel modules need to be signed
Linux Host and Guest: Added initial support for RHEL 8.8 (bug #21692), 8.9 (bug #21690) and 9.3 (bugs #21598 and #21671) kernels
Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when kernel modules were rebuilt on each boot when guest system has no X11 installed
Linux Guest Additions: Added initial support for kernel 6.4
Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when vboxvideo module reloading caused kernel panic in some guests (bug #21740)
Linux Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in the installer area
Windows Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in graphics drivers area
removed "fixes_for_kernel_6.4.patch" as this is fixed upstream
Fix issue with kernel on newer CPU (boo#1212209)

- VirtualBox 7.0.8 (released April 18 2023)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
VMM: Introduced general improvements in nested visualization area
GUI: Brought back Restore current snapshot checkbox of Close VM dialog (bugs #21189, #21491)
GUI: Fixes and validation for VM settings USB filters editor, filter port value is now properly saved/restored
GUI: Fixes for VM name and OS type embedded editors of Details pane
GUI: Cloud related wizards should now propose enabled profiles before disabled
Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack: Fixed shipping the cryptographic support module for full VM encryption
E1000: Fixed possible guru meditation when changing network attachments (bug #21488)
virtio-net: Follow up fixes for FreeBSD 12.3 and pfSense 2.6.0 (bug #21201)
3D: Fixed various graphics issues with Windows 7 guests (bugs #21129, #21196, #21208, #21521)
Main/UefiVariableStore: Added API to add signatures to the MOK list (Machine Owner Key)
VBoxManage: Introduced modifynvram enrollmok sub-command to enroll Machine Owner Key into NVRAM, so Linux guest kernel can pick it up in order to verify signature of modules signed with this key
Guest Control/Main: Fixed deleting files via built-in toolbox
Linux host: Added possibility to bypass kernel modules signature verification once VBOX_BYPASS_MODULES_SIGNATURE_CHECK="1" is specified in /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg, useful in case if Linux distribution does not provide necessary tools to verify kernel module signature
Linux Guest Additions and host Installer: Improved detection if system is running systemd as the init process
Linux Guest Additions and host drivers: Introduce initial support for kernel 6.3
Linux Guest Additions: Added possibility to bypass kernel modules signature verification once VBOX_BYPASS_MODULES_SIGNATURE_CHECK="1" is specified in /etc/virtualbox-guest-additions.conf, useful in case if Linux distribution does not provide necessary tools to verify kernel module signature
Linux Guest Additions: Added experimental support for kernel modules and user services reloading in the end of installation process, thus guest system reboot after Guest Additions (7.0.8 and newer) upgrade is no longer required in general case
Linux Guest Additions: Fixed vboxvideo build issue with RHEL 8.7, 9.1 and 9.2 kernels (bugs #21446 and #21450)
