VirtualBox 2.0.0 (released 2008-09-04)

This version is a major update. The following major new features were
added:

    * 64 bits guest support (64 bits host only)
    * New native Leopard user interface on Mac OS X hosts
    * The GUI was converted from Qt3 to Qt4 with many visual improvements
    * New-version notifier
    * Guest property information interface
    * Host Interface Networking on Mac OS X hosts
    * New Host Interface Networking on Solaris hosts
    * Support for Nested Paging on modern AMD CPUs (major performance gain)
    * Framework for collecting performance and resource usage data (metrics)
    * Added SATA asynchronous IO (NCQ: Native Command Queuing) when accessing raw disks/partitions (major performance gain)
    * Clipboard integration for OS/2 Guests
    * Created separate SDK component featuring a new Python programming interface on Linux and Solaris hosts
    * Support for VHD disk images 

In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:

    * VMM: VT-x fixes
    * AHCI/SATA: improved performance
    * GUI: keyboard fixes
    * Linux installer: properly uninstall the package even if unregistering the DKMS module fails
    * Linux additions: the guest screen resolution is properly restored
    * Network: added support for jumbo frames (> 1536 bytes)
    * Shared Folders: fixed guest crash with Windows Media Player 11
    * Mac OS X: Ctrl+Left mouse click doesn’t simulate a right mouse click in the guest anymore. Use Hostkey+Left for a right mouse click emulation. (bug #1766) 

Unfortunately, of course, Debian is currently stuck at 1.6.2 so this
would have to be a fresh package.
