Vboxwrapper release notes

From BOINC

Release notes for vboxwrapper

version 26206

  • "list hdds" is replaced with "showhdinfo ..." to avoid race condition.
  • minor security fixes

version 26204

  • Added support for multiattach mode (avoid copying VM image to each slot dir).
  • Remove support for the COM interface to VBox on Windows. This broke with each VBox release, and was no more reliable than using the cmdline script supplied by VBox.
  • Make sata/IntelAHCI the default virtual disk controller (recommended by Vbox); make controller type and model configurable.
  • Makes VRAM size and virtual graphics adapter type configurable via vbox_job.xml
  • Forward CMOS clock setting (localtime/UTC) from the host to VirtualBox guests
