We are pleased to announce a new (unstable) release of Boxes. 3.5.4 - Jul 15, 2012 ==================== Changes since 3.5.3: - Create VM based on host capabilities: Choose the virtualization type (KVM or Qemu), architecture and features (acpi, apic and pae) of the created domain based on host capabilities.
