VirtualBox 6.0 Beta 3 released

Post by michael »

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 https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker but use our VirtualBox Beta Feedback forum to report any problems with the Beta. Please concentrate on reporting regressions since VirtualBox 5.2.

VirtualBox 6.0 will be a new major release. Here is an incomplete list of changes since Beta 2:
  • OCI integration: exporting a VM is now possible from the command line interface (VBoxManage)
  • OCI integration: all virtualized shapes are supported, e.g. VM.Standard2.*
  • Devices/graphics: enable support for VMSVGA graphics device emulation by default
  • VBoxManage: support for DHCP options
  • Windows guests: support VMSVGA in the Windows Additions
In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:
  • Serial: allow changing the serial port attachment while the VM is running (bug #6115)
  • Linux hosts: support Linux 4.20 (thank you Larry Finger)
  • Linux guests: support Linux 4.20 (thank you Larry Finger)
  • Linux guests: support VMSVGA in the Linux and X11 Additions
