File "fixes_for_leap15.2.patch" added to fix build for Leap 15.2.
As announced earlier by Oracle, 32-bit builds are no longer supported.
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
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

* Add VBoxVNC as a proper external pack rather than just make the so available (bnc #1037033). Thanks to Michal Nowak for most of this effort.
One hack was required to work around a bug in "VBoxManage extpack install" whereby the --accept-license option failed to work.
* Improve startup of VirtualBox through use of systemd service files:
a. Beginning with Oracle version 5.0.8, the command used to build the kernel modules outside of the RPM packaging
code changed; however, the openSUSE version did not implement the new method. That new code is now implemented.
b. In Tumbleweed, the SysV init scripts to systemd service files stopped working. Part of the new code also checks
to see if the kernel modules are loaded. If not, new script files are called to include the necessary packages
and build the necessary modules.
c. The hooks are in place to remove the sysv init files and do the complete conversion to systemd. This step will
be done at a later time.
* New files are "vboxconfig.sh", "vboxguestconfig.sh", "vboxdrv.service", and "vboxadd-service.service".
* New sub-packages virtualbox-guest-source and virtualbox-vnc are produced.
* Some typos in virtualbox.spec are fixed.
- Add libelf-devel to build. Fixes bnc #1037511.
Modified the startup files to build the kernel modules if they are missing. Files "vboxconfig.sh" and "vboxguestconfig" added.
