Sun a publié hier la 4ème mise à jour mineure de Virtualbox. Numérotée 3.0.8, cette version corrige (comme habituellement) certains bugs assez gênants comme le support des machines 64bits sous un OS 32bits ainsi que le support de l'USB. mais aussi une petite faille de sécurité.

Voici le changelog :

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.
