This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:

In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:

were confusing some applications (bug #3782)

#3826)
- Solaris hosts: tighten the restriction for contiguous physical memory under certain
conditions
- VMM: fixed occassional guru meditation when loading a saved state (VT-x only)
- VMM: eliminated IO-APIC overhead with 32 bits guests (VT-x only, some Intel
CPUs don’t support this feature (most do); bug #638)
- VMM: fixed 64 bits CentOS guest hangs during early boot (AMD-V only; bug
#3927)
- VMM: performance improvements for certain PAE guests (e.g. Linux 2.6.29+
kernels)
- GUI: added mini toolbar for fullscreen and seamless mode (Thanks to Huihong
Luo)
