Hypervisaur 0.7.0

New

• Shared folders for Windows. Add folders in a Windows virtual machine's Sharing settings, and each one appears in File Explorer as a network drive named after it, starting at Z:, once you've signed in to Windows.
  • The Hypervisaur agent connects the drives for whoever signs in, so there's nothing to set up in Windows.
  • Folders marked Read Only can't be changed from Windows.
  • The folders are served by Samba on your Mac, which only the virtual machine can reach, over signed SMB 3 connections with a password of the virtual machine's own.
  • Folders you add or remove are shared or disconnected the next time the virtual machine starts.
• The Sharing settings for Windows now have the shared folders and Share Clipboard together.

Updating from 0.6.0

• Open the installer package to replace Hypervisaur 0.6.0. Your virtual machines stay as they are.
• Windows needs Samba from Homebrew to share folders. A Windows virtual machine's Sharing settings offer to install it, and it's installed with everything else when you create a new Windows virtual machine.
• Windows installs the new Hypervisaur agent from the DRIVERS disk by itself the first time it starts after updating.

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
