GNOME Boxes 3.8.1 has been improved with various new functionality, such as usb-redirection, which is now enabled by default. The application no longer crashes if udev properties are missing. The application now allows users to reboot the virtual box if changes to system properties are detected, even if the box is in saved state.

Correctly sized logos are now used, the –enable-ovirt configure option has been added, and live VM will be automatically deleted if the source media is also deleted. Moreover, the box configuration is now deleted when the box is deleted by another user interface, the Create and Continue buttons from the wizard are now focused when they are sensitive.
