Mots-clés : virtualbox, virtualisation

Sun vient de publier la 5ème révision de son logiciel de virtualisation de système d'exploitation seulement 3 semaines après la précédente version.

Au programme, une "stabilisation" du logiciel sous Windows 7 notamment au niveau de l'installateur, des corrections au niveau de la gestion de plusieurs cores ont été effectués pour les systèmes invités, une autre dans la gestion du matériel USB qui pouvait causer des BSOD dans certains cas et une dernière qui supprime une fuite de mémoire dans le logiciel.

Le reste du changelog c'est par ici:
