Just a few days after releasing Beta3, Parallels releases Beta4 with some new features and major fixes:
* Introduced full screen mode
No comments here - just check. There's a known issue about that - native resolutions are not yet supported. Please be sure - we'll fix it in GA or even sooner
* Introduced dual-monitor support
You can now export the VM to second monitor and let it go fullscreen. Best experience is obtained when Parallels Tools are installed
* Improved real CD/DVD support
Maybe not improved, but just seriously reworked. We really do expect it to work almost fine. The only known issue left is:
- "Eject" button on the keyboard doesn't work when real CD/DVD device is connected to the VM. To eject the real CD/DVD, just disconnect it from the VM by right-clicking the CD icon in the bottom-left corner of the VM and selecting the appropriate control. After ~5 seconds the "Eject" button should work.
* Improved, easier to use interface
We polished it and removed some nasty bugs...
* Better sound support, including a fix for Windows 2000 guest OS
It should work with Windows 2000 guest now. As well, we removed nasty delays in sound and "repeating sound" problem. As a known issue - sound recording is not yet supported.
* Networking kernel panics resolved
Beta3 didn't solve all the kernel panics. Many of you were reporting that using PW with, say iTunes, can cause a kernel panic. This was fixed. Again, we expect no more kernel panics in beta4...
* Bridged networking issues fixed
* WiFi networking issues fixed
We're expecting the problems with bridged Airport/Wireless issues like "it doesn't work sometimes" to go
* Fixed some of the issues encountered when entering "Sleep" mode when a VM is running
MBP sleep problems mostly. VM shouldn't freese after wake up. And, MacOS shouldn't go to reboot after wake up as well.
* Many other
minor bug fixes
