【瑜伽520】开源虚拟机 VirtualBox 5.0 Beta 3 发布
开源虚拟机的VirtualBox团队于本周四正式释放出了第三个VirtualBox 5.0测试版本。
VirtualBox 4.0的最后一个主要版本在2010年12月发布,它采用了新的图形化用户界面,新的虚拟化硬件和重组的项目设计,进行了重大的改版。但项目主要版本的发布步伐缓慢,上一次重要版本(版本4.3)在2013年底才发布。从那时起,一切都被正式称为“维护”发布。
时隔五年之后的今年四月,VirtualBox,由Sun公司创建,现在由甲骨文管理的开源虚拟化系统,获得了近5年来第一次的主版本更新发布,还是有新的东西加入:Windows/Linux等客户虚拟机支持PV、XHCI控制器支持USB 3.0设备、双向复制和粘贴。
在VirtualBox 5.0 Beta 3中也带来了很多Bug修复,客户机可获得XSAVE/AVX/AVX2等扩展、改进GUI加密、改进音量控制、修复SB16播放等改进。
