Boxes 3.8.1

[news 28]

Hi,

 

Boxes 3.8.1 is now available. Changes since 3.8.0:

 

- Don't crash on missing udev properties.

- Enable usb-redirection by default.

- Allow rebooting the box on changes to system properties, even if box is in

saved state.

- Automatically delete under-install/live VM on source media deletion.

- Use correctly sized logos.

- Avoid weird glitches in UI by actually cancelling the connecting process when

user goes back to collection view.

- Add '--enable-ovirt' configure option.

- Delete box configuration even when box is deleted by another UI.

- Continue/Create buttons in wizard should have the focus when they are

sensitive. In most cases, this will enable users to create VMs very quickly.

- More info on hardware requirements in user help pages.

- Added/updated/fixed translations:

- British English

- Catalan (Valencian)

- Finnish

- Hebrew

- Indonesian

- Norwegian bokmål

- Simplified Chinese
