Download VirtualBox 4.3.6

Oracle has released version 4.3.6 of VirtualBox. VirtualBox can be used to install other operating systems in a virtual environment on a computer. In this way it is possible to use different operating systems on the same hardware side by side and at the same time. VirtualBox is available for Windows XP and above, OS X, Linux, and Solaris, and is capable of many guest operating systems to turn.

In version 4.3 of VirtualBox, among other things, the complete virtualization code has been rewritten, which has solved several problems and also shows several performance improvements. There is also video capture and support for ipv6, various virtual machines running on the same computer can now communicate with each other via the internal network and there is support for multi-touch screens. This third update also includes the following improvements:

The following items were fixed and/or added:

• VMM: fixed a Guru Meditation VINF_EM_TRIPLE_FAULT caused by VMCB caching with nested paging on certain AMD CPUs (bug #12451)
• VMM: fixed a Guru Meditation VERR_VMX_UNEXPECTED_INTERRUPTION_EXIT_TYPE while intercepting debug exceptions (VT-x only; bug #12410)
• VMM: fixed a Guru Meditation VERR_SVM_UNEXPECTED_EXIT while intercepting debug register accesses (AMD-V only; bug #12481)
• VMM: fixed a VERR_SSM_STRUCTURE_MAGIC error when trying to load a saved state made with VBox 4.3.4 when VT-x/AMD-V is disabled. Unfortunately, VBox 4.3.4 produced broken saved states for this configuration so you have to discard these states (bug #12414)
• VMM: added a few more MSRs to the whitelist required by certain guests (bug #12245)
• GUI: fixed deletion of inaccessible VMs (4.3 regression, bug #12205)
• GUI: fixed warnings in VM settings / number of guest processors (bug #12480)
• Main: don’t automatically enable 64-bit guests on 64-bit hosts if VT-x/AMD-V is not available (bug #12424)
• Main: always expose the DMI memory information to Windows 2012 guests (bug #12017)
• Main: fixed occasional crashes on guest display resolution change (bug #7063)
• Main: fixed reporting back temporary name when calling IGuestSession::DirectoryCreateTemp() (bug #12498)
• API: fix for a hang when launching a GUI VM through the API, which crashes due to GUI unavailability
• Storage: fix for BLKCACHE_IOERR runtime errors under rare circumstances (bug #11030)
• Network: allow to start more than 5 PCNet instances (bug #12426)
• E1000: if the cable was disconnected before the guest initialized the device, the link status was not properly set to ‘down’ after the initialization completed despite the fact that there was no connection
• 3D support: fixed offset of guest 3D image elements (Mac OS X Retina hosts only; bug #11021)
• Solaris hosts: fixed accessing the host driver from non-global zones (4.3 regression, bug #12271)
