15.8. Version 5.1.26 (2017-07-27)

This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:

  • VMM: reset the TSC on VM reset to work around a Windows bug (bug #16643)

  • Audio: fixed memory leak when enabled with VRDP connections (5.1.24 regression; bug #16928)

  • Audio: fixed creation of too many sound sinks on Linux hosts when using the PulseAudio backend (bug #16938)

  • Audio: implemented record gain registers for AC'97 emulation; those are needed for newer Ubuntu guests which rely on those when controlling gain and muting the recording (capturing) levels

  • Mouse: double click was not working with a precision touchpad (bug #14632)

  • Linux hosts: provide Python 3 libraries for deb/rpm packages

  • Windows hosts: make it possible to use host-only networking without having bridged networking installed

  • Windows guests: fixed automatic logons for Vista and newer Windows guests (5.1.24 regression; bug #16921)
