This is the first stable version and of NanaBox.
I am sorry NanaBox 1.0 doesn't include the virtual machine creation and settings UI because it's not finished. But I really thanks to @driver1998 for his huge contribution to that. I think this feature will be finished in NanaBox 1.1.
Known issues
- Due to Host Compute System API and Host Compute Network API limitations, there are some limitations from them also applied to NanaBox:
- NanaBox only supports create UEFI Class 3 or UEFI without CSM or Hyper-V Gen 2 virtual machines.
- TPM support for virtual machines created by NanaBox is not available.
- NanaBox needs elevated privilege via UAC.
- The automatic switch between Enhanced Session Mode and Basic Session Mode won't be implemented.
- The virtual machine creation UI and settings UI is not implemented.
Release Notes
- Fix the background color issue when window size is bigger than the virtual machine content or using the fullscreen mode.
- Improve the background color policy when window size is bigger than the virtual machine content in windowed mode for better user experience. (Suggested by AndromedaMelody.)
- Enable frame buffer redirection for reducing the overhead.
- Enable redirect key combinations by default to improve the user experience.
- Fix virtual machine instance network disconnection issue when starting the same virtual machine instance repeatedly.
- Improve the implementation of running with unpackaged mode in package mode via using package's LocalState folder instead of user's Temp folder.
- Improve the user experience when switching NanaBox instances via Windows taskbar.
