Just had the time to install VirtualBox 2.2.0 on my Mac and I am looking forward to testing the new host-only mode which made it into this release. This is something I have been using for quite a while in order to setup a number of systems on isolated networks by using loopback tun-devices. The new host-only mode should make this so much easier without the hassle of setting up dhcp etc. on the host system.
Some other cool features also made it into the release such as:
- OVF (Open Virtualization Format) appliance import and export
- OpenGL 3D acceleration for Linux and Solaris guests
