VirtualBox 5.0 will be a new major release. Here is an incomplete list of changes since VirtualBox 5.0 Beta 4:
  • GUI: NLS fixes. NLS strings are now frozen.
  • GUI: Improved HiDPI support for Windows host, icons/size-hint adjustments.
  • GUI: Use fast scaling mechanism for integer scale-factors (s. a. here).

  • PCNet: OpenStep fix (bug #10545)
  • Host-only networking: an attempt to fix some VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND problems
  • NAT: Don't forcibly reset/drop all connections when link goes down
  • AHCI: fixed a possible hand during VM shutdown
  • Audio: fix audio output if the default output device changes, before this fix it would always stream to the output device being the default when the VM was started
  • VBoxSVC: don't keep the support driver permanently open
  • VBoxManage addencpassword: read the command line from the console or from a file
  • vbox-img: added resize command
