Oracle heeft vrijdag versie 3.1.4 van VirtualBox uitgebracht, de tweede update voor de begin december verschenen versie 3.1.0. Dit programma kan worden gebruikt om andere besturingssystemen in een virtuele omgeving op een computer te installeren. Op die manier kunnen verschillende OS'en op dezelfde hardware worden gebruikt. VirtualBox is beschikbaar voor Windows 2000 en hoger, Mac OS X, Linux en Solaris, en kan overweg met een groot aantal gastbesturingssystemen.



VirtualBox is in twee versies verkrijgbaar. De volledige versie heeft extra functionaliteit, zoals ondersteuning voor usb-poorten en het remote display-protocol, maar deze is alleen gratis voor privé-gebruik en voor evaluatiedoeleinden. Deze extra functionaliteit is namelijk closed source en die ontbreekt dan ook in de opensource-uitvoering. Versie 3.1.0 bevat diverse verbeteringen. Zo kan er nu van 2d-videoversnelling worden gebruik gemaakt voor Windows-guests, werkt usb een stuk beter voor OpenSolaris, is er ondersteuning voor EFI toegevoegd en is de performance voor PAE en AMD64 een stuk verbeterd. Versie 3.1.4 is een maintenance release en bevat de volgende veranderingen:

    The following items were fixed and/or added:

        * VMM: SMP stability fixes
        * VMM: fixed guru meditation in certain rare cases (bug #5968)
