Howdy,

Changelog from VirtualBox is available here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog

Changes in the port:
- VirtualBox and the guest additions have been updated to 3.1.2.
- Port has been renamed to virtualbox-ose to reflect that we are
using the OSE version. Requested by: mm@
- A seperate port for the kernel modules has been created: virtualbox-ose-kmod
- A seperate port for guest additions for FreeBSD guests has been
created: virtualbox-ose-additions
- Added proper PulseAudio support for FreeBSD. Contributed by Noriyoshi Kawano
- procfs is no longer required because vbox uses sysctl(3) now. Contributed by
Baptiste Daroussin and Bernhard Froehlich
- Fix build with a non-standard location for the system source. Submitted
by: scf@

How to upgrade:
- Fetch the new ports:
# fetch https://svn.bluelife.at/nightlies/virtualbox-port-r601.tar.gz
# tar xf virtualbox-port-r601.tar.gz

- Build the new ports:
# cd virtualbox-ose-kmod && make
# cd ../virtualbox-ose && make

- If build was ok, deinstall old port
# pkg_deinstall virtualbox-\*

- Install new port:
# cd ../virtualbox-ose-kmod && make install clean
# cd ../virtualbox-ose && make install clean

For FreeBSD guests within VirtualBox please try the new guest additions port:
# fetch https://svn.bluelife.at/nightlies/virtualbox-port-r601.tar.gz
# tar xf virtualbox-port-r601.tar.gz
# cd virtualbox-ose-additions && make install clean
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vboxguest.sh start

Check that the VirtualBox kernel module is loaded via loader.conf
and reboot the machine.

Check the wiki page for known problems: http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox

Please report any functionality which was working with previous versions of
VirtualBox and no longer working with 3.1.2 or any build failure.

Many thanks to the VirtualBox developers, all tester and patch submitter
and the whole vbox@ team.


Happy Testing!

Only a success report for me. It works great on my 8-STABLE amd64 box
with a Windows 2008 R2 64 guest on raw hard drive and a Haiku guest
(VT on).

Many thanks !

I as well am able to report very positive results with this version.
Unlike the previous version where I was unable to have VM's utilize more
than one CPU, this works flawlessly. I have tested VM's of Windows XP,
Fedora 12 64bit, Ubuntu 32bit, and OpenSolaris 32bit and all work
perfectly. This really looks good.

Thanks!

Working fine here, up to date -current and winxp guest.

The splitting out of the kernel module into its own port will be a BIG
help to those of us who update regularly, thanks for this! :)
