Die freie Virtualisierungslösung Sun VirtualBox unterstützt in der neuen Version 2.1 nun auch 3D-Grafik für das Gastsystem. Dafür kommt OpenGL zum Einsatz. Ebenfalls neu ist Hardware Virtualisierung mittels VT-x und AMD-V unter Apple Mac OS X. Intels Nehalem Virtualisierungstechniken EPT und VPID beherrscht VirtualBox auch.
Die NAT-Engine wurde stark überarbeitet. Die Performance wurde verbessert und ICMP-Echos werden verarbeitet. Damit ist nun endlich ein Ping aus einer VM mit NAT möglich.
Die Installation des Host Interfaces (HIF) wurde vereinfacht.
Sun VirtualBox ist eine freie Virtualisierungslösung für Microsoft Windows, Linux, Apple Mac OS X und weitere Betriebssysteme.

Changelog zur neuen Version
VirtualBox 2.1.0 (released 2008-12-17)
This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:
- Support for hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMD-V) on Mac OS X hosts
- Support for 64-bit guests on 32-bit host operating systems (experimental; see user manual, chapter 1.6, 64-bit guests, page 16)
- Added support for Intel Nehalem virtualization enhancements (EPT and VPID; see user manual, chapter 1.2, Software vs. hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMD-V), page 10))
- Experimental 3D acceleration via OpenGL (see user manual, chapter 4.8, Hardware 3D acceleration (OpenGL), page 66)
- Experimental LsiLogic and BusLogic SCSI controllers (see user manual, chapter 5.1, Hard disk controllers: IDE, SATA (AHCI), SCSI, page 70)
- Full VMDK/VHD support including snapshots (see user manual, chapter 5.2, Disk image ?les (VDI, VMDK, VHD), page 72)
- New NAT engine with signi?cantly better performance, reliability and ICMP echo (ping) support (bugs #1046, #2438, #2223, #1247)
- New Host Interface Networking implementations for Windows and Linux hosts with easier setup (replaces TUN/TAP on Linux and manual bridging on Windows)
In addition, the following items were ?xed and/or added:
- VMM: signi?cant performance improvements for VT-x (real mode execution)
- VMM: support for hardware breakpoints (VT-x and AMD-V only; bug #477)
- VMM: VGA performance improvements for VT-x and AMD-V
- VMM: Solaris and OpenSolaris guest performance improvements for AMD-V (Barcelona family CPUs only)
- VMM: ?xed guru meditation while running the Dr. Web virus scanner (software virtualization only; bug #1439)
- VMM: deactivate VT-x and AMD-V when the host machine goes into suspend mode; reactivate when the host machine resumes (Windows, Mac OS X & Linux hosts; bug #1660)
- VMM: ?xed guest hangs when restoring VT-x or AMD-V saved states/snapshots
- VMM: ?xed guru meditation when executing a one byte debug instruction (VT-x only; bug #2617)
- VMM: ?xed guru meditation for PAE guests on non-PAE hosts (VT-x)
- VMM: disallow mixing of software and hardware virtualization execution in general (bug #2404)
- VMM: ?xed black screen when booting OS/2 1.x (AMD-V only)
- GUI: pause running VMs when the host machine goes into suspend mode (Windows & Mac OS X hosts)
- GUI: resume previously paused VMs when the host machine resumes after suspend (Windows & Mac OS X hosts)
- GUI: save the state of running or paused VMs when the host machine’s battery reaches critical level (Windows hosts)
- GUI: properly restore the position of the selector window when running on the compiz window manager
- GUI: properly restore the VM in seamless mode (2.0 regression)
- GUI: warn user about non optimal memory settings
- GUI: structure operating system list according to family and version for improved usability
- GUI: prede?ned settings for QNX guests
- IDE: improved ATAPI passthrough support
- Networking: added support for up to 8 Ethernet adapters per VM
- Networking: ?xed issue where a VM could lose connectivity after a reboot
- iSCSI: allow snapshot/diff creation using local VDI ?le
- iSCSI: improved interoperability with iSCSI targets
- Graphics: ?xed handling of a guest video memory which is not a power of two (bug #2724)
- VBoxManage: ?xed bug which prevented setting up the serial port for direct device access.
- VBoxManage: added support for VMDK and VHD image creation
- VBoxManage: added support for image conversion (VDI/VMDK/VHD/RAW)
- Solaris hosts: added IPv6 support between host and guest when using host interface networking
- Mac OS X hosts: added ACPI host power status reporting
- API: redesigned storage model with better generalization
- API: allow attaching a hard disk to more than one VM at a time
- API: added methods to return network con?guration information of the host system
- Shared Folders: performance and stability ?xes for Windows guests (Microsoft Of?ce Applications)
