What's new in VirtualBox 5.0.8 Build 103449?
VirtualBox now officially supported Windows 10 RTM as guest and host platform and MAC OS X 10.11 El-Capitan as host platform. VirtualBox 5.0.8 Build 103449 is a minor improvement which include a number of changes and bug fixes. This release contains the following updates:
  • GUI: Mac OS X: Restore green zoom button for VM windows (it was hidden in the previous release to avoid native full-screen issues). For Yosemite and El Capitan this button should work accordingly to the Apple HIG: Full-screen by default, maximize if the user holds the Option key.
  • Serial ports: fixed wrong IRQ number for the first serial port in the ACPI tables (5.0.6 regression; bug #14659)
  • API: fixed a 5.0 regression in VBoxManage setproperty defaultfrontend (bug #14696)
  • VBoxManage/vbox-img: conversion to RAW images could result in a disk image containing all zeroes
  • Linux hosts: several fixes for systemd integration in .deb / .rpm packages (e.g. bug #14665). The command for recompiling the host kernel modules was changed to /sbin/vboxconfig
  • Linux hosts: make host-only interfaces report operstate UP only when they have VMs attached (bug #14526)
  • Mac OS X hosts: fix bpf capture and accounting of traffic on bridged and host-only interfaces (bug #14553)
  • Windows guests: fixed 3D rendering issues on high resolution displays
  • Windows Additions: fixed problems with 3D acceleration on Windows hosts with Intel HD graphics (bug #14670)
  • Linux Additions: fix service starting on Debian systems with systemd installed but not in use (bug #14683)
