Overview
Request 330440 superseded
- The code base released by Oracle failed to build on 32-bit systems. They had already fixed the
problem. This update applies their solution.
Version bump to 5.0.4 (released 2015-09-08 by Oracle)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
VMM: fixed an issue with Windows 10 guest kernel debugging over the network for Hyper-V paravirtualized VMs
VMM: fixed a bug which prevented reading the saved state of the 'PATM' unit from VirtualBox 4.3.x (bug #14512)
GUI: changed default OS type for Windows from Windows XP to Windows 7
GUI: added another pre-defined guest screen resolution (bug #14384)
GUI: fixed update check which was broken due to changing the location of the root certificates (bug #13096)
GUI: fixed issues with synchronization of Caps lock / Num lock / Scroll lock on Windows hosts (bug #14302)
GUI: don't crash during VM shutdown if 2D video acceleration and 3D support are enabled (Mac OS X hosts only)
GUI: several seamless fixes for certain X11 window managers, also when used in multi-screen setups
GUI: Log window size, position and cursor-position fixes
Audio: fixed playing leftover/deprecated audio samples
Audio: fixed playing audio after suspending the host (5.0 regression; Linux hosts using the ALSA backend)
Audio: fixed playing short audio samples which were chopped off formerly
Audio: fixed distortions on OS X when the sample rate of the guest stream and host device don't match
Storage: fixed raw disk access and flat VMDK image access which would be always opened readonly (5.0.2 regression; bugs #14425, #14461)
Storage: fixed initial encryption of VDI images after they were compacted (bug #14496)
VGA: fix for certain graphics modes (bug #14516)
NAT: don't freeze while the VM is paused if the network attachment mode is changed from/to NAT with activated port forwarding
OVF: fixed duplicate USB controller entries in exported OVA/OVF (bug #14462)
Shared Folders: fixed a path separator issue (bug #14434)
Drag and drop: fixed crashes on OS X hosts when doing host-to-guest transfers
VBoxManage: another attempt to not deny changing the network adapter type at VM runtime (5.0 regression; bug #14308)
VBoxManage: fixed broken guestcontrol <VM-Name> list command (5.0 regression)
VBoxManage: fixed broken Guest Control stdout/stderr output (5.0 regression)
Mac OS X hosts: fixed remaining problems with activated SMAP (Broadwell and later; bug #14412)
Mac OS X hosts: fixed broken 3D support (5.0.2 regression; bug #14476) (forwarded request 330439 from lwfinger)
