This update provides the new VirtualBox 5.1 series, currently based on 5.1.2 providing several perfomance enhancements The highlights include: * VMM: new APIC and I/O APIC implementations that result in significantly improved performance in certain situations (for example with networking) * VMM: activate the x2APIC by default for Linux guests * VMM: added support for Hyper-V paravirtualized debugging of Windows guests * VMM: emulate even more MMIO and shadow pagetable exits without going back to user mode * GUI: overall migration to Qt5 * GUI: passive API event listener improving the VM GUI performance and response time * Audio: added HDA (High Definition Audio) support for newer Linux guests * Audio: added on-demand timers which should improve the overall performance and reduce the CPU consumption * Audio: more fine-grained volume control for the AC’97 emulation, which now also takes the master volume control into account * better support for Python 3 It also resolves the following security issue: Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component in Oracle Virtualization VirtualBox before 5.0.26 allows local users to affect availability via vectors related to Core (CVE-2016-3597).
