Logiciels
Qui dit version majeure dit beaucoup de nouveautés. Et bien c'est le cas car Virtualbox virtualise enfin les systèmes 64 bits sur les OS Hôtes 64 bits.
Mais ce n'est pas tout, Sun rafraîchit l'interface du logiciel, en passant du toolkit QT3 à QT4 pour les versions Windows et Linux, quant à la version Mac OS X, Sun nous prévient qu'elle adopte un look Leopard.
L'interface légèrement rafraichie de VirtualBox 2
Sun introduit également un notificateur de nouvelles versions au logiciel et ajoute le support des disques virtuels VHD de Microsoft.
Mais ce n'est pas tout, d'autres nouveautés ont été introduites et des bugs ont également été corrigés, voici une liste complète des changements :
Changelog
VirtualBox 2.0.0 (released 2008-09-04)
This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:
* 64 bits guest support (64 bits host only)
* New native Leopard user interface on Mac OS X hosts
* The GUI was converted from Qt3 to Qt4 with many visual improvements
* New-version notifier
* Guest property information interface
* Host Interface Networking on Mac OS X hosts
* New Host Interface Networking on Solaris hosts
* Support for Nested Paging on modern AMD CPUs (major performance gain)
* Framework for collecting performance and resource usage data (metrics)
* Added SATA asynchronous IO (NCQ: Native Command Queuing) when accessing raw disks/partitions (major performance gain)
* Clipboard integration for OS/2 Guests
* Created separate SDK component featuring a new Python programming interface on Linux and Solaris hosts
* Support for VHD disk images
In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:
* VMM: VT-x fixes
* AHCI/SATA: improved performance
* GUI: keyboard fixes
* Linux installer: properly uninstall the package even if unregistering the DKMS module fails
* Linux additions: the guest screen resolution is properly restored
* Network: added support for jumbo frames (> 1536 bytes)
* Shared Folders: fixed guest crash with Windows Media Player 11
* Mac OS X: Ctrl+Left mouse click doesn’t simulate a right mouse click in the guest anymore. Use Hostkey+Left for a right mouse click emulation. (bug #1766)
Virtualbox est donc disponible pour tous les systèmes existants qu'ils soient 32 bits ou 64 bits.VirtualBox 2.0.0 (released 2008-09-04)
