- update to 4.2.20, this is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
* GUI: always report recommended resolutions for all monitors (not always done since 4.2.12)
* GUI: make sure the assigned license and description are attached to the exported appliance
* GUI: the OS X hot corners were not accessible while a VirtualBox VM is running (Mac OS X hosts only; bug #4139)

* NAT: don't re-connect the cable if the DNS information changes and the cable was disconnected before (bug #12225)
* Main: properly save the passthrough flag for DVD drives without an attached medium
* Keyboard: fixed a VM crash if a VM was resumed from a saved state where at least one key was pressed (bug #11289)
* 2D Video acceleration: fix crashes on presentation mode switches (bug #9194)
* Storage: fixed errors with snapshots when using QCOW or QED disk images
(bug #12144)

(4.2.18 regression, bug #11750)
* Shared Clipboard: fixed potential SEGFAULT when working with UTF8 and UTF16
content (Mac OS X hosts only)

* SDK: extended the functionality coverage for the C bindings
* API: block the removal of the current snapshot if it has child snapshots
(only relevant for VMs without snapshottable hard disks, their presence
always prevented removal), which resulted in VM config corruption
* API: mark VM configs with snapshots but without current snapshot as
inaccessible, as this combination is nonsense
* API: fixed information for some automatically generated events (only with
XPCOM, Windows host was not affected), which caused errors when getting
