Virtualbox 2.1 released

Wednesday, December 17. 2008

We have announced a new version of Virtualbox. 2.1 contains some new features and bugfixes. You will find the following add-ons in it:
  • Support for hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMD-V) on Mac OS X hosts
  • Support for 64-bit guests on 32-bit host operating systems (experimental)
  • Added support for Intel Nehalem virtualization enhancements
  • Experimental 3D acceleration via OpenGL
  • Experimental LsiLogic and BusLogic SCSI controllers
  • Full VMDK/VHD support including snapshots
  • New NAT engine with significantly better performance, reliability and ICMP echo (ping) support
  • New Host Interface Networking implementations for Windows and Linux hosts with easier setup (replaces TUN/TAP on Linux and manual bridging on Windows)
You will find the changelog at here. The binaries are available at the usual location.

"Support for hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMD-V) on Mac OS X hosts"

Klingt ja ganz nett, aber ich glaube nicht, dass man in irgend einem Rechner von Apple einen AMD Prozessor findet (oder finden wird)

ich wusste das die VBox Entwickler böse OS X Cracker sind und insgeheim mit Pystar symphatisieren ;-)
