Hey Jacob,
As you may have noticed, you're going to be testing half of what you used to test. 5.1.x testbuilds are no more, following the 5.1.x series entering "unsupported" status. I don't know if that's good or bad news for you...

[Jacob Klein]

Thanks. I am aware. Specifically:

I have noticed that the 5.1.x series:
- is no longer supported, per https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds
- had a test build, Oracle VirtualBox v5.1.39 Test Build 123150, which I will continue to use as needed
- is necessary to me for my 200+day RNA World VM tasks, until they are completed
- may require me to not use Fast Ring builds on those PCs, if Microsoft releases a change that breaks v5.1.x

Same as 5.0.x was, same as 4.3.x was.

I get it. I was ready for it. Hopefully soon I can move all 4 of my PCs to v5.2.x, but right now, I can only move 1 of 4.
I may still report results on v5.1.39 Test Build 123150, haven't decided for sure.

Thanks,
Jacob

When I find some time, I'll try to make a plot: release version vs. date. I have one for VirtualBox, I'll try to make one for Win10 and see what's the rate of updates. Maybe later today, it's a dead day anyways...
