Main/idl: fix last dangling link

Main/idl: fix more dangling links

Main/idl: fix dangling link

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

Add support to supply passwords for disk encryption while the VM is running

DHCPServer: Define DHCP option encodings as an enum. The enum is not currently used in the API itself as we only smugle hex-encoded options through existing API to remain backward compatible, but it provides authoritative C definitions that we can now use on both sides of the API.

Host 3D unscaled HiDPI output: privide notifyHiDPIOutputPolicyChange() IDisplay interface to GUI in ouder to notify 3D about corresponding user option value change.

Main/Medium: Add basic support to encrypt/decrypt media, work in progress

Main/idl: forgotten UUID changes

Main/Medium: redesign API level medium locking, needed conversions from MediaList to MediumLockLists in several places, forced cleanups elsewhere, too Main/Token: introduced token objects for controlling the unlocking, will be used as a general concept in the future Main/Snapshot: snapshot deletion needed significant cleanups as it was still using many shortcuts, directly calling the API to lock media instead of using lock lists. Now much better, and the online snapshot deletion is also a lot cleaner as it no longer passes unnecessary parameters around which are already known in the machine/snapshot code Main/MediumLock: small improvements, now has a mode which skips locking already locked media, needed by the Snapshot code where we have overlapping lock lists and have to update the original one instead Main/Console+Session+Machine: follow-up changes for the online snapshot merging parameter passing simplification, plus an unrelated lock order violation fix in Machine which happens only for inaccessible machines Main/testcase: update correspondingly doc: update SDK reference

Fixed python bindings bustage on windows, the libary UUID was changed in r84453 without updating vboxapi.py. Added warning so this won't be forgotten again. Also, the typelib minor version has been out of sync since VBoxSVC was first started... fixed that as well, hoping it won't bust anything.

Main: re-commit r86967 Main/Network: DHCP server has got the ear in Main, and we able create/describe more complex infrostructures. DHCP server together with Lwip NAT can handle per vm/slot configuration and store them in xml settings. place-holder: Host interface nameserver list, domain name and search strings, I suppose that this functions should be used on initialization stage and then on host configuration change even or directly from event.

SDK docs build fix.

Main/Frontends: Also use facilities for guest features (seamless, graphics), added facility-state-to-name to VBoxManage, some renaming.

Main: before unregistering a machine, move media shared with another machine to that machine's media registry to prevent that machine from becoming inaccessible

Comment update.

Comment typo.

Burn fix, added facility status "failed", removed unused parameters, some renaming.

Main/VBoxManage: Introduced facility handling for more fine grained status reporting of Guest Additions components.

burn fix, typo

Main, VMM, vboxshell: more PCI work (persistent settings, logging, more driver API), API consumer in vboxshell

docs: make Doxygen happy

docs fix

Main, frontends: proper description for maximal number of NICs per VM

Main, VMM: PCI passthrough work

Main: fix and clarify that ISnapshot::SetName and SetDescription automatically save the machine settings; API docs

Main,VBoxManage: Implemented the progress objects for ExtPackManager::Uninstall and ExtPackFile::Install. Fixed a bug in ExtPackFile wrt cleaning up on failure.

Main/Console+Machine: move PowerDown progress object to VBoxSVC, plus VMTask cleanup

backed out 69217

VMM, Main: PCI passthrough work

IExtPackFile,IExtPackManager: Added progress and display info to the Install and Uninstall methods. No progress object will be returned in 4.0.0 as that is too risky.

Main: convert MediumVariant uses into unsigned long for the 4.0 API to make them callable from web service clients (SOAP enums do not know numerical values behind enums)

IMachineDebugger: More methods and attribute stubs that may come in useful.

build fix

IMachineDebugger: Stubbed a few, new methods that may come in handy in the 4.0 product cycle. Adjusted the dumpGuestCore method so that it can later be amended with any stream compression method we like.

Main: OnGuestMonitorChanged event.

Main/Events+VirtualBoxClient: merge VBoxSVCUnavailable and VBoxSVCAvailable events into one event with a boolean attribute Frontends/VBoxSDL+VBoxHeadless: adjust appropriately

Main: OnGuestMonitorDisabled event.

VRDE: use VRDE properties for video redirection settings.

Main/idl: need another event for signalling that VBoxSVC was successfully restarted

Main: forgot to change uuid, API to list supported VRDE properties.

Main: API to list supported VRDE properties.

IExtPackFile::Install: Added a 'replace' parameter for automatically trying to uninstall an existing extension pack during upgrade.

Documentation: Use links.

Documentation.

GuestControl/Main: Added timeout value for SetProcessInput to prevent host hangs when guest misbehaves.

Main/Medium+Machine+Settings: new medium type MultiAttach, meant for having many VMs pointing at the same base medium and each having its own diff for changes

Main/FE/Qt: don't enable USB 2.0 support for new VMs if the proper ExtPack is not installed

IMachineDebugger::dumpGuestCore: Added DBGFR3CoreWrite interface.

new IID for IExtPack* to be on the safe side after that attribute reordering.

build fix.

ExtPack: First part of the extension pack license code.

Comments update.

language

Main: docs update on IEventListener::handleEvent

IExtPackBase: Added two attributes: license and showLicense.

Main,VBoxManage,FE/Qt: Implemented IExtPackFile and dropped IExtPackManager::Install.

ExtPackManager: Added API for opening a tarball prior to installation (does not work yet).

Guest execution: Implemented ability to start guest processes hidden.

Main: Bandwidth groups for disks (and later network) This introduces two new interfaces. The first one named IBandwidthGroup represents one I/O limit and can be assigned to several mediums which share this limit (which works only for harddisk images with the disabled host cache). The second one IBandwdithControl manages the groups and can create new ones and destroy them if not required anymore. VBoxManage: commands to access the bandwidth groups Syntax: VBoxManage storageattach <uuid|vmname> ... --bandwidthgroup <name> --bandwidthgroup assigns the specified device to the given group. VBoxManage bandwidthctl <uuid|vmname> --name <name> --add disk|network --limit <megabytes per second> --delete The --name parameter gives the name of the bandwidth group. --add creates a new group of the given type (only disk is implemented so far) with the given name. --limit sets the limit to the given amount of MB/s Note that limit can be changed while the VM is running. The VM will immediately pick up the new limit for the given group name. --delete deletes the group with the given name if it isn't used anymore. Trying to delete a still used group will result in an error. Example: VBoxManage bandwidthctl "Test VM" --name Limit --add disk --limit 20 Creates a group named Test having a 20 MB/s limit. VBoxManage storageattach "Test VM" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium test.vdi --bandwidthgroup Limit Adds a new disk to the SATA controller and assigns the bandwidth group Limit to it. VBoxManage storageattach "Test VM" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium test.vdi --bandwidthgroup none Removes the bandwidth limit from the disk. VBoxManage bandwidthctl "Test VM" --name Limit --add disk --limit 10 Changes the limit of bandwidth group Limit to 10 MB/s. If the VM is running the limit will be picked up immediately.

Make vrde auth library configurable per VM.

VRDPAuth -> VBoxAuth.

Main: s/out/return

added JRockitVE operating system support

Main/VirtualBoxClient: new client-side singleton interface for convenient monitoring of VBoxSVC liveness, plus a big whitespace cleanup of the xidl file

Guest Additions update: Don't wait when showing modal progress dialog in GUI.

Main: remove dead and obsolete code

Main: better type checks when firing events

PCI: more 4.0 interfaces

idl: name conflict resolved

Main: PCI passthrough work

VirtualBox.xidl: doc build fix.

Main,Config.kmk,VBoxManage,ExtPacks: Moved the VRDE bits from IVirtualBox to the extension packs; changed ISystemProperties and IVRDEServer to talk about VRDE extension packs instead of VRDE libraries.

ExtPack: Fixes to IExtPack (QueryInterface can't be used for getting stuff from the ext pack, designed the plug-in interfaces). Bugfixes making 'VBoxManage list extpack' work when building with VBOX_WITH_EXTPACK_PUEL=1.

Burn fix

Main, FE/VBoxManage: Make it possible to mark specific controllers as bootable which means that the BIOS can access devices attached to the controller to boot from it

Main: code for generic listener creation

Main: replaces callback mechanism of NAT redirect change event notification with event-driven model.

Main, QT/FE, VBoxManage: per-chipset controller count limits

Main/IGuest::updateGuestAdditions: Introduced additional flags parameter for later use.

Main: API docs

Main: Added attribute IVirtualBox::ExtensionPackManager.

Main: API docs

Main: Change the 'default default' machine folder to '/home/umoeller/VirtualBox VMs'
