VirtualBox 3.0

This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:

Guest SMP with up to 32 virtual CPUs (VT-x and AMD-V only; see chapter 3.7.2.2 of the user manual)
Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental; see chapter 4.8 of the user manual)
Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests
In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:

Solaris hosts: allow suspend/resume on the host when a VM is running (bug #3826)
Solaris hosts: loosen the restriction for contiguous physical memory under certain conditions
Mac OS X hosts: fixed guest PAE
Linux hosts: kernel module compile fixes for 2.6.31 (bug #4264)
VMM: fixed occasional guru meditation when loading a saved state (VT-x only)
VMM: eliminated IO-APIC overhead with 32 bits guests (VT-x only, some Intel CPUs don’t support this feature (most do); bug #63
VMM: fixed 64 bits CentOS guest hangs during early boot (AMD-V only; bug #3927)
VMM: performance improvements for certain PAE guests (e.g. Linux 2.6.29+ kernels)
VMM: some Windows guests detected a completely wrong CPU frequency (bug #2227)
VMM: fixed hanging and unkillable VM processes (bug #4040)
VMM: fixed random infrequent guest crashes due to XMM state corruption (Win64 hosts only)
VMM: performance improvements for network I/O (VT-x/AMD-V only)
GUI: added mini toolbar for fullscreen and seamless mode (Thanks to Huihong Luo)
GUI: redesigned settings dialogs
GUI: allow to create/remove more than one host-only network adapters (non Windows hosts)
GUI: display estimated time for long running operations (e.g. OVF import/export)
GUI: fixed rare hangs when open the OVF import/export wizards (bug #4157)
3D support: fixed VM crashes for client applications using incorrect OpenGL states
3D support: fixed memory corruption when querying for supported texture compression formats
3D support: fixed incorrect rendering of glDrawRangeElements
3D support: fixed memory leak when using VBOs
3D support: fixed glew library detection
3D support: fixed random textures corruption
VRDP: support Windows 7 RDP client
Networking: fixed another problem with TX checksum offloading with Linux kernels up to version 2.6.18
NAT: fixed “open ports on virtual router 10.0.2.2 - 513, 514” (forum)
NAT: allow to configure socket and internal parameters
NAT: allow to bind sockets to specific interface

VHD: properly write empty sectors when cloning of VHD images (bug #4080)
VHD: fixed crash when discarding snapshots of a VHD image
VHD: fixed access beyond the block bitmap which could lead to arbitrary crashes
VBoxManage: fixed incorrect partition table processing when creating VMDK files giving raw partition access (bug #3510)

USB: Support for high-speed isochronous endpoints has been added. In addition, read-ahead buffering is performed for input endpoints (currently Linux hosts only). This should allow additional devices to work, notably webcams (bug #242).
USB: fixed error handling for some USB dongles
Web service: fixed inability to handle NULL pointers for object arguments, which are valid values for a lot of APIs, in both the raw and the object-oriented web service.
Web service: object-oriented bindings for JAX-WS did not exhibit interface inheritance correctly, fixed

LordSteve... troppo gentile. grazie.

con l'occasione mi preme aggiungere una piccolezza a sostegno della segnalazione che però vale per ogni segnalazione. le stelline che ad oggi ha in versiontracker: 4,2 su 5. non sono molti i software che superano le 4 e sono valori dati sul campo da utenti reali come noi.
