Main/Serial+Devices/Serial: new TCP backend for serial port. Contributed by Alexey Eromenko. Thanks! Frontends/VirtualBox+VBoxManage: adapted accordingly

Main/Console+Machine+Session+Snapshot: move the save state and snapshot related methods from IConsole to IMachine, with lots of unavoidable code restructuring and cleanup. Also define two new machine states (so that the "Saving" one is specifically for saving state now) which requires more changes everywhere Frontends: necessary adjustments doc/SDK: document the changes

s/drag'n'drop/drag and drop/

Main: Added paravirt. provider KVM APIs.

Frontend/VBoxManage: minor cleanup of showVMInfo, and fixing a ULONG/size_t warning

IDisplay::GetScreenResolution returns status of the guest monitor.

Frontends/VBoxManage: add the forgotten "modifyvm --description" option to the help output and fix a minor VRDP port info glitch

Main/VBoxManage: nit.

Main: Added paravirt. provider APIs.

Updated USB configuration.

VBoxManage: split 'guestcontrol' help into sub categories

Main,Frontends: Support for the USB storage controller

Main/NetworkAdapter+Machine+Appliance+SystemProperties+Medium+Console+Settings+IDL: make NAT networking a separate network attachment type which improves the user experience, store the necessary settings, plus changing the design of the methods which will move images and entire VMs, they lacked a progress object Frontends/VirtualBox: adapted fully, can configure NAT networks with proper drop down list support Frontends/VBoxManage: also supports NAT networks completely, and adds the long missing code to list intnets

Main: Made the exclusive HW virtualization use setting global rather than per-VM.

Frontends/VBoxManage: whitespace

Main,Frontends: IDisplay::GetScreenResolution returns the screen origin.

Main,Frontends: Second step of USB controller rework. There is one controller instance for every USB controller now. Adapt frontends and testsuite to work with the changed API

Main/USB: USB Controller implementation rework. Moved filter handling into a separate interface

Setings: add multi-touch setting and fix combo mouse somewhat.

Main/idl: clarify IMachine.videoCaptureFile to be an absolute path, and many naming convention cleanups for method/attribute names starting with an uppercase letter or containing an acronym Main/xml/Settings.cpp: clean up default video capture file handling and related path conversions, version handling of the new functionality Main/Machine: handle default value for video capture file better, store relative path in settings if possible, cleanups Main/src-client/VideoRec.cpp: do not overwrite a file ever Main/Display: generate a unique name if there is a collision, matching cleanups for name changes Frontends/VirtualBox: matching name changes Frontends/VBoxManage: matching name changes, fixing the machine readable output

Main/VPX, VBoxManage: added IMachine::VideoCaptureScreens and IDisplay::{enableVideoCapture,disableVideoCapture}

Frontends/VBoxManage: new option --longmode for modifyvm, for changing the corresponding guest CPU property, plus showing the current value with showvminfo. doc/manual: document this option, the link is currently dangling as the GUI doesn't allow to control this setting yet

Main, VMM: Added an API seting to disable VT-x unrestricted execution.

IMachine::VideoCaptureFps

VPX: plugged memory leak; introduced rate parameter; clear artefacts from previous frames after resize; cleanup

VBoxManage: added information for video recording to 'showvminfo'

Frontend/VirtualBox+VBoxManage: changes to use the default VM frontend when starting a VM, other minor cleanups Main/xml/*.xsd: attempt to bring the XML schema close to reality doc/manual: document the new possibilities, and fix a few long standing inaccuracies

Frontends/VBoxManage: improve snapshot information, unify wrappers for opening a medium object, cleanup

VBoxManage/Info: Hpet typo (vbox/11065)

Frontends/VBoxManage: warnings and columns.

VBoxManage: showvminfo --machinereadable: added a few missing items

VBoxManage: showvminfo --machinereadable the actual fix

VBoxManage: showvminfo --machinereadable typo

Frontends/VBoxManage: fix more session/console related breakage

Frontends/VBoxManage: adapt to reduced Console functionality, do not call things which are no longer there (and would be ignored anyway)

FE/VBoxManage: Support to configure autostart/-stop for virtual machines

VBoxManage: proper printing of disabled bandwidth groups (#5582)

Main,VBoxManage,docs: bandwidth units changed to bytes (#5582)

VBoxManage/Info: print <none> when no bandwidth groups defined for VM

Frontends/VBoxManage: display parallel port config for "showvminfo"

VBoxManage: use common code in bandwidthctl and showvminfo to list groups, fixed machine readable list (#5582)

VBoxManage: bandwidthctl uses sub-commands instead of options (#5582)

showvminfo: Started converting the code into using macros for showing the standard typed properties. Still much to do.

Main: Extended IMachine and the settings XML with three tracing related properties.

Config.kmk,VMMDev,Main,QtGui,VBoxManage: Refactored IGuest::additionsVersion and associated acts, splitting it up into additionsVersion and additionsRevision like IVirtualBox and IExtPack handles versioning. Fixed missing saved state in VMMDev where the VMMDevReq_ReportGuestInfo2 info was not saved and Main+Frontends led to believe we were running guest additions older than 3.2. The changes have be subjected to limited testing. Added TODOs for another missing save in VMMDev.

%lS -> %ls.

burn fix

PCI: Main and VBoxManage work

VBoxManage: cosmetical fix

Added a promiscModePolicy attribute to INetworkAdapter, three values: deny (default), allow-network (i.e. VMs), allow-all (i.e. include unrelated host traffic).

Main/VBoxManage: Update on guest facilities, added IAdditionsFacility; now it's possible to iterate over known facilities (see VBoxManage showvminfo --details). Also, facilities now are grouped into several classes (AdditionsFacilityClass).

networking API renaming

#3551: “Main: Replace remaining collections with safe arrays” Replace SnapshotCollection. Reviewed by dmik. Tested with GUI.

IPRT: make RTGetOpt accept non-'--' parameters; use RTGetOpt for 'VBoxManage list'; default to short output for 'list vms' unless --long is specified

cosmetical issue

Storage: Eradicated the last bits using the old VDI only backend, keeping only the testcases for now (no longer built). Completely removed old iSCSI driver. Added intnet option to addiscsidisk and adjusted documentation. Made backend name comparisons case-insensitive. Detect VMDK files not according to VMDK 1.0 and reject with clear error message. Changed format probing logic to not fall through to the "unsupported" case if it's a known format, i.e. has valid header. VBoxManage converthd generic format converter made official. Added format flag to VBoxManage createhd, allows creating VMDK files. VBoxManage convertdd reimplemented based on new framework, supporting any image format. VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid reimplemented based on new framework, supporting any image format. Cleaned up error codes.

VBoxManage: build fix.

VBoxManage: file header cleanup.

Frontends/VBoxManage: split off metrics command to reduce chance of compiler screwup.

VBoxManage: the other problematic function is handleModifyVM, disabled global optimizations for it. Enabled the handleShowVMInfo optimization hack for x86 too, as it suffers (even if it's significantly less).

VBoxManage: Split handleList out of VBoxManageInfo.cpp. showVMInfo is problematic for MSC 8.0/64, since this isn't performance critical stuff I've disable global optimizations for this case.

Frontends/VBoxManage: Fix machinereadable variant of SATA info dumping. Convention is to use the same string as for the "VBoxManage moddifyvm" parameter if possible.

VBoxManage: started splitting it up.
