• Solaris host: ﬁxed a preemption issue causing VMs to never start on Solaris 10

(bug #4328).

• Solaris guest: ﬁxed mouse integration for OpenSolaris 2009.06 (bug #4365)

• Windows hosts: ﬁxed high CPU usage after resuming the host (bug #2978)

• Fixed a settings ﬁle conversion bug which sometimes caused hardware accelera-

tion to be enabled for virtual machines that had no explicit conﬁguration in the

XML.

12.8 Version 3.0.0 (2009-06-30)

This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:

• Guest SMP with up to 32 virtual CPUs (VT-x and AMD-V only; see chapter 3.4.2,

“Processor” tab, page 48)

• Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental;

see chapter 4.9, Hardware 3D acceleration (OpenGL and Direct3D 8/9), page 72)

• Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests

In addition, the following items were ﬁxed and/or added:

• Solaris hosts: allow suspend/resume on the host when a VM is running (bug

#3826)

• Solaris hosts: loosen the restriction for contiguous physical memory under cer-

tain conditions

• Mac OS X hosts: ﬁxed guest PAE

• Linux hosts: kernel module compile ﬁxes for 2.6.31 (bug #4264)

• VMM: ﬁxed occasional guru meditation when loading a saved state (VT-x only)

• VMM: eliminated IO-APIC overhead with 32 bits guests (VT-x only, some Intel

CPUs don’t support this feature (most do); bug #638)

• VMM: ﬁxed 64 bits CentOS guest hangs during early boot (AMD-V only; bug

#3927)

• VMM: performance improvements for certain PAE guests (e.g. Linux 2.6.29+

kernels)

• VMM: some Windows guests detected a completely wrong CPU frequency (bug

#2227)
