support for DirectX accelleration with windows guest, talking about ebuilds the relevant news are:

  • app-emulation/virtualbox-modules: added support for the new kernel module vboxnetadp.
  • app-emulation/virtualbox-ose: fixed problematic mesa checks in configure (thanks to Grzegorz Chwesewicz and David Gence, wrt #265558 and #268885)
  • app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions: dropped the old vboxadd-timesync binary, added new vboxadd-service binary, added new virtualbox-guest-additions initd
  • x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox: added support for the new vboxvideo drm kernel driver, added a patch to fix mesa checks in configure (thanks to Grzegorz Chwesewicz and David Gence, wrt #265558 and #268885)
