This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
Known issue: VMs having more than one vCPU configured will not work properly on macOS Catalina due to an unknown memory corruption issue. Either lower the number of vCPUs to 1 or upgrade to BigSur or later where the issue does not occur
Main: Fixed issue when VBoxSVC could become unresponsive if Extension Pack was not installed (bug #21167)
Linux Guest Additions: Introduced initial support for kernel 6.1

This is a major update. The following major new features were added:
Virtual machines can be fully encrypted now, including the VM config logs and saved states (CLI only for now)
OCI: Cloud virtual machines can be added to Virtual Machine Manager and controlled as local VMs
OCI: Cloud networks can now be configured via Network Manager tool same way as it is done for Host-only and NAT networks
GUI: Added a new utility similar to "top" or "resource monitor" which lists peformance statistics (CPU usage, RAM usage, disk I/O rate, etc.) of running guests
GUI: Reworked the new vm wizard to integrate the unattended guest OS installation and to have a more streamlined work flow
GUI: Added a new help viewer widget which enables the user manual to be navigated and searched
GUI: Adding new notification center unifying most of running progresses and error reporting around the GUI

Audio recording: Now using Vorbis as the default audio format for WebM containers. Opus is no longer being used.
Audio: Added "default" host driver type to make it possible to move VMs (appliances) between different platforms without the need of changing the audio driver explicitly. When the "default" driver is selected, the best audio backend option for a platform will be used. This is the default for newly created VMs.
Guest Control: Implemented initial support for automatic updating of Guest Additions for Linux guests
Guest Control: Implemented ability to wait for and/or reboot the guest when updating Guest Additions via VBoxManage
VBoxManage: Added Guest Control "waitrunlevel" sub-command to make it possible to wait for a guest to reach a certain run level
Linux Guest Additions: Reworked guest screen re-size functionality, added basic integration with some of guest Desktop Environments
Devices: Implemented new 3D support based on DirectX 11 (and DXVK on non Windows hosts)
