May 02, 2010, 23:03 (0 Talkback[s])
"VirtualBox Version 3.2.0 is a major update. The following major
new features were added:
* Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle
Corporation, the product is now called Oracle VM VirtualBox and all
references were changed without impacting compatibility.
* Experimental support for Mac OS X guests
* Memory ballooning to dynamically in- or decrease the amount of
RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only) (see the manual for more
information)
* CPU hot-plugging for Linux (hot-add and hot-remove) and certain
Windows guests (hot-add only) (see the manual for more
information)
* New Hypervisor features: with both VT-x/AMD-V on 64-bit hosts,
using large pages can improve performance (see the manual for more
information); also, on VT-x, unrestricted guest execution is now
supported (if nested paging is enabled with VT-x, real mode and
protected mode without paging code runs faster, which mainly speeds
up guest OS booting)
* Support for deleting snapshots while the VM is running"
