Oracle released today the beta version of the upcoming VirtualBox 7.1 open-source and cross-platform virtualization software for public testing, a major update that promises exciting new features and improvements.
VirtualBox 7.1 promises a modern Qt 6-based GUI that offers a selection between Basic and Experienced user levels with reduced or full UI functionality and better accessibility, Wayland support for clipboard sharing on both Linux guests and hosts, a new NAT engine with IPv6 support, and ARM virtualization for Linux and BSD VMs on macOS/ARM host.
It also promises updated Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with new functions to clone and reset compute instances, as well as support for the Performance dashboard to display resource usage for local virtual machines.
On top of that, VirtualBox 7.1 promises to improve the performance of the screen recording functionality on all supported platforms, update the Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack to adjust the PUEL license by removing the duplicated evaluation option, and add new MS DB/KEX certificates to newly created virtual machines.
The remote desktop integration has been updated as well in the upcoming VirtualBox release to enable TLS with a self-signed certificate, including issuing a new one before the old one expires, whenever the user forgets to set up TLS with custom certificates.
Check out the changelog on the forum announcement page for more details about the new features coming to VirtualBox 7.1, which you can download right now as a beta version from here. However, please try to keep in mind that this is a pre-release software, so don’t use it for any production work.
