VirtualBox 7.1.4
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
- GUI: Added latest NLS update for Turkish, Indonesian and Italian languages
- VMSVGA: Improved flickering, black screen and other screen update issues with recent Linux kernels (bug #21955)
- NAT: Fixed issue with restoring 7.0.X saved state
- VBoxManage: Fixed breakage of "list vms" and "showvminfo" for inaccessible VMs
- Windows host: Fixed system DLL size checking which failed with Windows 11 24H2 and recent Insider Preview builds (bug #22162)
- Linux Guest Additions: Introduce initial support for kernel 6.12 (NOTE: In kernel 6.12, KVM initializes virtualization on module loading by default. This prevents VirtualBox VMs from starting. In order to avoid this, either add "kvm.enable_virt_at_load=0" parameter into kernel command line or unload corresponding kvm_XXX module)
- Linux/Arm Guest Additions: Added possibility to automatically upgrade Guest Additions via Devices menu
- EFI: Added missing LsiLogic MPT SCSI driver again to fix booting from devices attached to this device if the EFI firmware is used (7.1.0 regression)
- EFI: Restored broken network boot support (7.1.0 regression)
