VirtualBox 3.2.0 Beta mit interessanten neuen Funktionen

markus

icon-04 Heute ist die Beta zur Version 3.2 von VirtualBox im Forum publiziert worden. Unterstütz wird jetzt z.B. ein Memory Balloning, dass sogar erst Hyper-V in irgendeiner Form erst mit Windows 2008 R2 SP1 erhalten wird.

Hier die Liste der weiteren Features:

VirtualBox Version 3.2.0 is a major update. The following major new features were added:

  • Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation, the product is now called Oracle VM VirtualBox and all references were changed without impacting compatibility.
  • Experimental support for Mac OS X guests
  • Memory ballooning to dynamically in- or decrease the amount of RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only) (see the manual for more information)
  • CPU hot-plugging for Linux (hot-add and hot-remove) and certain Windows guests (hot-add only) (see the manual for more information)
  • New Hypervisor features: with both VT-x/AMD-V on 64-bit hosts, using large pages can improve performance (see the manual for more information); also, on VT-x, unrestricted guest execution is now supported (if nested paging is enabled with VT-x, real mode and protected mode without paging code runs faster, which mainly speeds up guest OS booting)
  • Support for deleting snapshots while the VM is running
  • Support for multi-monitor guest setups in the GUI (see the manual for more information)
  • USB tablet/keyboard emulation for improved user experience if no Guest Additions are available
  • LsiLogic SAS controller emulation
  • RDP video acceleration
  • NAT engine configuration via API and VBoxManage
  • Guest Additions: added support for executing guest applications from the host system
  • OVF: enhanced OVF support with custom namespace to preserve settings that are not part of the base OVF standard

Da die Software jetzt in Oracle VM VirtualBox umbenannt wird, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit wohl groß, dass Oracle sie auch weiterpflegen wird.
