Virtualization core: fixed performance issue observed with Windows XP guests on AMD hosts (6.0.0 regression; bug #19152)
Virtualization core: consistent IBRS/IBPB CPUID feature reporting, avoids crash of NetBSD 9.0 RC1 installer (bug #19146)
GUI: fixed updating of runtime info
GUI: in Display settings, do not show "2D video acceleration" checkbox if it is meaningless for the selected graphics adapter
Audio: fixed audio input handling when VRDE is enabled
Audio: fixed crash in the HDA emulation when using multi-speaker configurations
Storage: fixed use of encrypted disks with snapshots involved (6.1.0 regression; bug #19160)
Storage: improve performance of virtio-scsi
Storage: read-only support for compressed clusters in QCOW2 images
Linux host: Support Linux 5.5 (guest additions not yet)
Windows guest: accelerate 2D video decoding (scaling and color space conversion) if the VM is configured to use VBoxSVGA with 3D enabled
Windows guest: fix guest additions installer to upgrade the mouse filter driver reliably
Windows guest: when uninstalling older Guest Additions with old 3D support enabled try restoring original Direct3D files
Linux guest: improve resize and multi-monitor handling for VMs using VMSVGA (known remaining issue: do not disable a monitor "in the middle", causes confusion)
- Version update to 6.1.0 (released December 10 2019 by Oracle)
- Fixes bsc#1132102.
- Removed file "set_graphics_type.patch" as the problem is fixed upstream.
This is a major update. The following major new features were added:
- Implemented support for importing a virtual machine from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
- Extended support for exporting a virtual machine to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, allowing the creation
of multiple virtual machines without re-uploading. Also added option to export a VM to the cloud using the more efficient

- Merge host kmp and guest kmp into a single kmp. The existence of two different kernel module
packages is believed to be the reason that it is possible for a new kernel not to include
the necessary kernel modules (boo#1142955).
Files "virtualbox-host-kmp-files" and "virtualbox-guest-kmp-files" are deleted.
File "virtualbox-kmp-files" is added.
Files "virtualbox-host-preamble" and virtualbox-guest-preamble" are deleted.
File "virtualbox-kmp-preamble" is added.
File "fix_conflict_between_host_and_guest.patch" is added.
- Script vboxdrv.sh, which is called from the systemd service file, incorrectly called a routine
that does not exist when the kernel modules were not available. This call is changed to /sbin/vboxconfig
that will build the modules if the requisite packages are available. If that is not true, the
systemctl status vboxdrv will list the command needed to load the missing packages. This change
address part of boo#1142995.

Hi Larry,
here we go..
this version of VB is tested successfully with TW and 15.0, builds
with 42.3, 15.0, 15.0 with Kernel:stable, 15.1, TW, and behaves
properly autostart-wise.
So it's good to go from my POV.
Cheers,
Pete

- Modify "fixes_for_qt13.1" for i586 builds qith Qt 5.13
- Limit all architectures to a maxium of 2 jobs. Without this restriction, 32-bit builds run
out of memory, and 64-bit builds get strange crashes.
- LTO builds still failing. Reset flag to nil.
- Changed the way that the spec file limits the 32-bit builds to 2 threads. boo#1133492.
If enough memory were allocated so that the full number of workers were allowed, the job would never be scheduled.

Removed setBadness line from virtualbox-rpmlinc.
- Fix file "fixes_for_qt5.13.patch".
- adjust patch virtualbox-fix-ui-background-color.patch to really
fix the background color messing...
- add patch to stop UI messing with Highlight Color for background
- apply fixes_for_qt5.13.patch for Qt versions >= 5.13.0 only
- Fix build with the pending Qt 5.13. File "fixes_for_qt5.13.patch" is added. bsc#1130503

- add libgsoap version dependency >= 2.8.50 (recv_maxlength)
- Fix virtualbox wrapper script virtualbox-wrapper.sh to check
60-vboxdrv.rules in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d, not /etc/udev/rules.d
Logic is still flawed, until it doesn't take both locations into
account

Hi Larry,
here's is my current state of VB affairs. It's more a RFC, but it
contains everything to build that biest for the most prominent
distributions.
The new patch virtualbox-fix-ui-background-color.patch is an attempt
to deuglify the UI with certain color schemes.
Again, RFC stuff for you to look at.
Thanks,
Pete
