Hypervisaur 0.6.0

New

• Your virtual machines in a rack. The library has a look of its own: each virtual machine is a unit in an equipment rack.
  • Lights show whether it's powered on, whether its Hypervisaur agent is connected (pulsing blue while it starts, teal once shells, logs and copying files work) and when it's reading or writing its disk.
  • A backlit character display shows its name and the exact system its agent reports, and scrolls text that's too long for it. The backlight is on while it runs.
  • A small screen shows what's on its display, a plate shows its processors, memory, disk space and network, and meters show how much of its processors and memory it's using.
  • The power button starts it, and holding it down shuts it down. The top of the rack shows how much of the Mac's memory running virtual machines are using between them.
• Start straight away. Clicking a virtual machine in the library starts or resumes it as its window opens, without pressing play.
• Start Without Window. Right-click a virtual machine and choose Start Without Window (or Resume Without Window) to run it in the background from the start. Click it to open its window later.
• Settings on one screen. A virtual machine's settings list every section down the side with a summary of it, beside the one you're changing, so they fit a Mac's screen without scrolling. Copy Settings From is now a menu next to Done.

Fixed

• Hypervisaur no longer keeps a virtual machine's session in memory after it stops when its menu in the library has been opened.

Updating from 0.5.2

• Open the installer package to replace Hypervisaur 0.5.2. Your virtual machines stay as they are.
• The display shows a virtual machine's system once its agent has connected while running this version.

Requirements

• A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later
• For Windows: Homebrew, the Windows 11 ARM64 disc image and your own Windows license
