Oracle 于今日发布了 VirtualBox 5.0.6!从更新日志来看,VirtualBox 5.0.6 是一个功能集中更新的版本,其中比较有趣的特性有:内置更新检测功能、支持配置 HTTP 代理、快捷键重新分配、原生支持 systemd 以及对各种 Linux 发行版更好的支持,最大的更新看点莫过于支持 Linux kernel 4.3 内核了。
此外,Linux 客户机控制组件也得到了增强和改进,Windows 主机音频延迟问题也已修复,启动过程中的一些个小问题也已经修复,同时还修复了 VLC Media Player 和 Windows Media Player 的一些问题。当然,一些奇奇怪怪的网络问题也已经得到了解决。
除了上面提到的许多新功能,Oracle VirtualBox 5.0.6 还支持苹果刚发布的 OS X 10.11 El Capitan 操作系统,其中包括对共享文件夹冒号问题的支持和改进,以及捕获 USB 设备方面的改进。而且,OS X 10.11 El Capitan 的图形界面支持处理上也更为优异。
