2 mois après son prédécesseur, voici qu'Oracle nous offre gracieusement une nouvelle version du virtualisateur de système d'exploitation Virtualbox dans sa version 3.2.10 (pas encore de branche 3.3 à venir pour le moment).
Cette nouvelle version arrive avec une flopée de corrections de bugs dont celui du mode V8086 pour les DOS/Win9x qui a été introduit sur la version 3.2.8. Les performances pour les machines virtuelles de plus de 2Go de RAM ont été améliorées, le support du kernel 2.6.36 a été ajouté, la gestion de la 3D a été corrigé lorsqu'on passait au mode Seamless et les performances des applications OpenGL 32bits a été corrigé sous les systèmes Windows 64bits invités.
Pour le reste des corrections, voici le changelog :
