Some nice advancements! + +![VirtualBox 7.0 Releases With Secure Boot and Full VM Encryption Support][1] + +A big upgrade for VirtualBox. This release is pretty interesting because we haven't seen a major update in recent years. + +For those unfamiliar with VirtualBox, it is a virtualization software developed by [Oracle][2]. + +With the launch of VirtualBox 7.0, many new features have been added. + +Let's take a look at some of the most crucial ones. + +### VirtualBox 7.0: What's New? + +![virtualbox 7.0][3] + +VirtualBox 7.0 is a helpful upgrade. There are icon updates, theme improvements, and some key highlights, including: + +* A new utility to show performance statistics for running guests. +* Secure boot support. +* Full VM encryption support (via CLI). +* Reworked new virtual machine wizard. + +#### Full VM Encryption via CLI + +Virtual Machines (VM) can now be fully encrypted, but only through the command-line interface. + +This also includes the config logs and saved states. + +As of now, users can encrypt their machines only through the command-line interface, and different methods are to be added in the future. + +#### New Resource Monitor Utility + +![virtualbox 7.0 resource monitor][4] + +The new utility lets you monitor performance statistics like CPU, RAM usage, disk I/O, and more. It would list the performance stats for all the running guests. + +Not the most attractive addition, but useful. + +#### Improved Theme Support + +The support for themes has been improved on all platforms. The native engine is used on Linux and macOS, and on Windows, a separate implementation is in place. + +#### Support for Secure Boot + +VirtualBox now supports Secure Boot, enhancing security against malware, viruses, and spyware. + +It will also prevent a VM from booting up with broken drivers, which is very important for enterprise applications. + +Users who use operating systems that require a secure boot to run should be able to create VMs easily. + +#### Other Changes + +VirtualBox 7.0 is a significant upgrade. So, there are several feature additions and refinements across the board. + +For instance, the new VM wizard has now been reworked to integrate unattended guest OS installations. + +![virtualbox 7.0 unattended distro installs][5] + +Other improvements include: + +* Cloud virtual machines can now be added to VirtualBox and controlled as local VMs. +* The VirtualBox icon has been updated with this release. +* A new 3D stack has been introduced that supports DirectX 11. It uses [DXVK][6] to provide the same support for non-Windows hosts. +* Support for virtual TPM 1.2/2.0. +* Improved mouse handling in multi-monitor setups. +* Vorbis is the default audio codec for audio recording. + +You can review the [release notes][7] for additional information. + +If you were looking for enhanced features, such as better theme support, encryption features, secure boot support, and similar feature additions, VirtualBox 7.0 is a nice upgrade. + +💬 *What do you think about the upgrade? Would you use the newer version or stick to the older version for your VMs for now?* + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/virtualbox-7-0-release/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w1200/2022/10/virtualbox-7-0-release.jpg +[2]: https://www.oracle.com/in/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/10/VirtualBox_7.0.png +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/10/VirtualBox_7.0_Resource_Monitor.png +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/10/VirtualBox_7.0_Unattended_Guest_Install.png +[6]: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk +[7]: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-7.0
