What's New in 0.6.x?
Native Interface
The VirtualBox gem no longer piggy-backs on top of VBoxManage
or XML configuration files.
The gem now uses the native interface provided by VirtualBox to communicate. The result of
this is a huge speed increase which simply would not have been possible otherwise, and
stability across versions. In addition to that, the entire VirtualBox API is now at your
disposal. While the gem itself doesn't yet support creating VMs and so on, the API is available
for you to do it manually (if you really wanted to!).
Future versions will support more and more of the API.
