Thesycon’s DPC Latency Checker is a Windows tool that analyses the capabilities of a computer system to handle real-time data streams properly. It may help to find the cause for interruptions in real-time audio and video streams, also known as drop-outs. The program supports Windows 2000, XP, XP x64, Vista, Vista x64, 7, 7 x64.
VMM: fixed loading of saved states if VT-x/AMD-V was disabled (4.3.2 regression;)VMM: fixed single-stepping inside the guest for certain instructions (VT-x only;)VMM: fixed a performance issue involving APIC accesses after rebooting a VM (4.3.0 regression; VT-x only;)VMM: fixed TPR patching to be enabled for 32-bit guests even when the chosen guest type is 64-bit (4.3.0 regression; AMD-V only)VMM: fixed occasional VINF_EM_TRIPLE_FAULT errors on hosts without the unrestricted guest execution featureGUI: don’t bother the user with the BPP warning if no Guest Additions are installedGUI: fixed machine-window paint artifacts on VM reboot / guest-screen resizeGUI: make sure the assigned license and description are attached to the exported applianceGUI: fixed bugs in close VM action restrictions handlingGUI: fixed incorrect wizards text colors for some unusual look and feel stylesGUI: should restore seamless mode as soon as possible after VM reboot or shutdownGUI: fixes for medium enumerationGUI: the OS X hot corners were not accessible while a VirtualBox VM is running (Mac OS X hosts only;)GUI: fixed an old bug which bared the host from cleanly shutdown / reboot if the VM selector window is open (Mac OS X hosts only;)Host-only Networking: fixed creating of host-only network interfaces (4.3.0 regression;)NAT: don’t run into an infinite loop in case the host cannot access any DNS server (4.3.0 regression;)NAT: don’t re-connect the cable if the DNS information changes and the cable was disconnected before (4.3.0 regression;)NAT: fixed several issues with automatically starting / terminating of NAT networks on VM start / stop and configuration changesVBoxNetDHCP: don’t block prevent VBoxSVC from terminating2D Video acceleration: fix crashes on presentation mode switchesBusLogic: allow to run VMs with more than one BusLogic SCSI controller enabledKeyboard: fixed a VM crash if a VM was resumed from a saved state where at least one key was pressed VBoxSVC: fixed a heap corruption under certain conditions (4.3.0 regression)VBoxSVC: fixed a race leading to a hang during initializationOVF: fixed import logic for OVF appliances containing multiple VMsOVF: improved logic for finding an appropriate image format during OVF importAPI: block the removal of the current snapshot if it has child snapshots (only relevant for VMs without snapshottable hard disks, their presence always prevented removal), which resulted in VM configuration corruptionAPI: mark VM configurations with snapshots but without current snapshot as inaccessible, as this combination is nonsenseAPI: fixed information for some automatically generated events (only with XPCOM, Windows host was not affected), which caused errors when getting some of the attributes over the webserviceSDK: extended the functionality coverage for the C bindingsGuest Control: various bug fixes and improved VBoxManage helpWindows hosts: another attempt to fix the massive DPC latencyMac OS X hosts: properly sign the kernel extensions for Mavericks hostsMac OS X hosts: fixed a bug where the VirtualBox dock icon was not properly removed from the dock after a VM terminated preventing Mavericks hosts from shutting downMac OS X hosts: fixed minor installer issueLinux hosts / guests: Linux 3.13 compile fixesLinux guests: build the vboxvideo kernel module correctly on OL/RHEL 6.1 guestsDpc Latency Checker Online
