<p>Connectix has just released a new update to Virtual PC for Macintosh,<br />
version 5. This new update, version 5.0.2, fixes issues mainly dealing<br />
with performance and networking. Please update your copies of Virtual PC<br />
for Macintosh.</p>
<p>*Note - This Updater will only update released versions of Virtual PC for<br />
Mac 5.0 or 5.0.1.</p>
<p>To download the update, go to<br />
<a href="http://www.connectix.com/support/vpcm_online.html" title="http://www.connectix.com/support/vpcm_online.html">http://www.connectix.com/support/vpcm_online.html</a>. The file is 10.53MB.</p>
<p>****</p>
<p>Connectix Virtual PC Version 5.0.2 Vital Information<br />
+ Added significant performance enhancements for Virtual PC running in Mac<br />
OS X.<br />
+ Improved performance of Virtual PC in Mac OS X with background<br />
applications. Virtual PC will receive more time when it's the foreground<br />
application.<br />
+ Virtual PC now yields processor time when a guest OS is in the foreground<br />
but idle. (Requires the new Virtual PC Additions.)<br />
+ Increased throttle time in Mac OS X to give more time to video.<br />
+ Faster overall boot time for most OSes (when no other applications are<br />
running) in Mac OS X.<br />
+ Greatly improved performance of 16-bit applications running in Windows<br />
2000 in Mac OS X.<br />
+ Improved speed of installing 32-bit operating systems (i.e. Windows 2000)<br />
in Mac OS X.<br />
+ Fixed an issue between Virtual PC and sound initialization that caused<br />
Virtual PC to crash at launch.<br />
+ Added fix for rare crash when saved states were restored on beige G3s.</p>
<p>NETWORKING<br />
+ Added fix to allow PPTP VPN over Shared Networking in Mac OS 9. VPN using<br />
Shared Networking in Mac OS X requires the user to be logged in as root.<br />
See the "Virtual PC Vital Information" document for more information.<br />
+ Improved diagnostics added to gather more informative troubleshooting<br />
details.</p>
<p>PRINTING<br />
+ Fix for printing using Virtual PC emulation to Canon printers in Mac OS X.</p>
<p>SERIAL<br />
+ Added fixes and improvements for serial port emulation including full<br />
9-pin support. This should allow greater compatibility with various serial<br />
devices (Mac OS X only).<br />
+ Made serial port preferences window completely interactive. Also detects<br />
the attachment of any USB serial adapter while the "Settings..." window is<br />
open in Mac OS X. Virtual PC now detects the removal of serial port(s) and<br />
defaults back to "none" when this occurs. + Serial port will no longer<br />
disappear from the COM Settings panel when the window is opened and USB is<br />
enabled. USB<br />
+ Automatically resume a USB device if packets are detected being sent to a<br />
suspended device. Allows the LinkSys WAP11 USB configuration utility to<br />
work.<br />
+ Fixed USB connection issues in both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X that caused<br />
crashes on plug-in and un-plug of a device.</p>
<p>MISCELLANEOUS<br />
+ Added scripting support to allow debugging of blue-screen events in<br />
Windows XP. + Fix for MatLab 6 (max [1 2] calculation) so it returns the<br />
correct result.<br />
+ Fix for rounding results in CallAtlanta program.<br />
+ Fixed an issue in Mac OS 9 that caused a crash when the hard drive and CD<br />
drive were spun down (slept) and a call was made to the drive from Virtual<br />
PC.<br />
+ Fixed an issue with reading Joliet CD formats under Mac OS 9.<br />
+ Changed behavior of incompatible or corrupted saved states so that the<br />
user is asked before the state is deleted.<br />
+ Fixed an issue with Folder Sharing the Mac's free drive space is now<br />
correctly reported by Windows 9x OSes.<br />
+ Allow multiple users in Mac OS X to run Virtual PC and share preferences<br />
and drive images. This will also allow the drive image and preferences to<br />
be moved into the Virtual PC application folder and placed on a removable<br />
drive for increased mobility.<br />
+ New Virtual PC Additions</p>
