VirtualBox 7.1.2 Released with 3D Acceleration Support for VMs Running on ARM
VirtualBox 7.1.2 is here only three weeks after the release of VirtualBox 7.1 to address a few GUI issues, especially with the new multi-window layout and language translations, as well as an issue that prevented virtual machines created with the Unattended Install feature to not be removed cleanly. It also adds an option to change the remote display security method in the GUI.
This release also improves 3D support by fixing the enablement of 3D acceleration in the virtual machine settings, rendering issues caused by incorrect view handling, and a black screen bug with virtual machines running Windows. Moreover, VirtualBox 7.1.2 makes it possible to enable the 3D acceleration function for ARM platform virtual machines.
