Cette nouvelle version corrige un risque de plantage de type "écran bleu de la mort" si la machine virtuelle utilise un accès réseau du type "Accès par pont" ou "Réseau hôte".

Article original :

2 semaines après la sortie de la 1ère mouture de la branche 3.2 du virtualisateur d'Oracle, voici que le logiciel revient pour sa 1ère version de maintenance, la 3.2.2.

Au sommaire, pas vraiment de grosses corrections de bugs, la 3.2.2 s'attarde plutôt à améliorer les fonctions existantes.

Voici le changelog de cette version :
