• GUI: Fixed virtual machines grouping when VM was created or modified in command line (bugs #11500, #20933)
• GUI: Introduced generic changes in settings dialogs
• VirtioNet: Fixed broken network after loading saved state (bug #21172)
• Storage: Added support for increasing the size of the following VMDK image variants: monolithicFlat, monolithicSparse, twoGbMaxExtentSparse, twoGbMaxExtentFlat
• VBoxManage: Added missing --directory switch for guestcontrol mktemp command
• Mouse Integration: Guest was provided with extended host mouse state (bug #21139)
• DnD: Introduced generic improvements
• Guest Control: Fixed handling creation mode for temporary directories (bug #21394)
• Linux Host and Guest: Added initial support for building UEK7 kernel on Oracle Linux 8
• Linux Host and Guest: Added initial support for RHEL 9.1 kernel
• Linux Guest Additions: Added initial support for kernel 6.2 for vboxvideo
• Audio: The '--audio' option in VBoxManage is now marked as deprecated; please use '--audio-driver' and '--audio-enabled' instead. This will allow more flexibility when changing the driver and/or controlling the audio functionality
