VirtualBox 5.0 Beta 4 released

Post by frank »

Please do NOT use this VirtualBox Beta release on production machines. A VirtualBox Beta release should be considered a bleeding-edge release meant for early evaluation and testing purposes.

You can download the binaries here. Please use sha256sum to compare the hash of the downloaded package with the corresponding hash from this list.

Please do NOT open bug reports at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker but use our VirtualBox Beta Feedback forum to report any problems with the Beta release. Please concentrate on reporting regressions since VirtualBox 4.3.26.

  • Drag and drop: various bugfixes for Linux hosts and guests
  • Encryption: fixed cloning VMs
  • Audio: Fixed volume control for mono streams
  • Audio/SB16: Fixed loss of output after loading saved state.
  • USB3: fixed attaching multiple emulated disks to the xHCI controller
