VirtualBox 5.1.26 released

Post by frank »

VirtualBox 5.1.26 is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added since VirtualBox 5.1.24:
  • VMM: reset the TSC on VM reset to work around a Windows bug (bug #16643)
  • Audio: fixed memory leak when enabled with VRDP connections (5.1.24 regression; bug #16928)
  • Audio: fixed creation of too many sound sinks on Linux hosts when using the PulseAudio backend (bug #16938)
  • Audio: implemented record gain registers for AC'97 emulation; those are needed for newer Ubuntu guests which rely on those when controlling gain and muting the recording (capturing) levels
  • Storage: fixed hang when using the emulated NVMe controller with the SPDK (bug #16945)
  • Mouse: double click was not working with a precision touchpad (bug #14632)
  • Linux hosts: properly bring up host-only network interfaces with iproute (5.1.24 regression; bug #16911)
  • Linux hosts: provide Python 3 libraries for deb/rpm packages
  • Windows hosts: make it possible to use host-only networking without having bridged networking installed
  • Windows guests: fixed automatic logons for Vista and newer Windows guests (5.1.24 regression; bug #16921)
