VirtualBox 开源虚拟机软件
VirtualBox 是一款开源虚拟机软件。VirtualBox 是由德国 Innotek 公司开发，由Sun Microsystems公司Sun Microsystems公司出品的软件，使用Qt编写，在 Sun 被 Oracle 收购后正式更名成 Oracle VM VirtualBox。Innotek 以 GNU General Public License (GPL) 释出 VirtualBox，并提供二进制版本及 OSE 版本的代码。使用者可以在VirtualBox上安装并且执行Solaris、Windows、DOS、Linux、OS/2 Warp、BSD等系统作为客户端操作系统。

NAT: don't exceed the maximum number of "search" suffixes. Patch from bug #15948.
NAT: fixed parsing of port-forwarding rules with a name which contains a slash (bug #16002)
NAT Network: when the host has only loopback nameserver that cannot be mapped to the guests (e.g. dnsmasq running on 127.0.1.1), make DHCP supply NAT Network DNS proxy as nameserver.
Bridged Network: prevent flooding syslog with packet allocation error messages (bug #15569)
Audio: now using Audio Queues on Mac OS X hosts
Audio: fixed recording with the PulseAudio backend (5.1 regression)

Storage: some fixes for the NVMe emulation with Windows guests
API: fixed initialization of SAS controllers (bug #15972)
Build system: make it possible to build VBox on systems which default to Python 3
Windows hosts: detect certain cases of REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG errors and print a helpful error message
Windows hosts: adapted to changes in Windows 10 build 14901 (bug #15944)
Windows hosts: better support for processor groups on Windows 7 and later which is required on certain hosts with many CPUs
