Oracle has launched VirtualBox 7.1.2, marking the first maintenance update for the latest 7.1 series of this robust, free, open-source, and cross-platform virtualization software compatible with Linux, macOS, Solaris, and Windows.
This update arrives just three weeks after the debut of VirtualBox 7.1. It aims to resolve several graphical user interface challenges, particularly those related to the new multi-window layout and language translations. Additionally, it addresses a problem that hindered the seamless removal of virtual machines created with the Unattended Install feature. An option to modify the remote display security method through the GUI has also been introduced.
The update enhances 3D support by rectifying the activation of 3D acceleration in virtual machine settings, addressing rendering issues due to improper view management, and resolving a black screen error affecting virtual machines running Windows. Furthermore, VirtualBox 7.1.2 now allows for 3D acceleration to be enabled for virtual machines on ARM platforms.
Beyond these enhancements, VirtualBox 7.1.2 fixes an issue where the NVRAM state was not correctly managed on legacy BIOS systems and was not deleted when a virtual machine was removed. It also corrects the querying of UEFI Secure Boot status when the virtual machine had never been powered on, as well as resolves an error encountered during the automatic upgrade of Guest Additions.

Additionally, there have been fixes for some DHCP issues reported by users with specific guest machines when the domain is left blank, a glitch with loading saved states created by VirtualBox 7.0.x, and two bugs that impacted virtual machine performance on Windows hosts. The building code has also been enhanced when utilizing the XPCOM bindings.
For further information regarding the changes made in VirtualBox 7.1.2, be sure to check out the changelog. You can download the update from the official website, which offers ready-to-use binaries for various popular GNU/Linux distributions, including Debian GNU/Linux, Fedora Linux, Ubuntu, openSUSE, and Oracle Linux, as well as a universal binary for other distributions.
