Please do NOT use this VirtualBox Beta release on production machines. A VirtualBox Beta release should be considered a bleeding-edge release meant for early evaluation and testing purposes.

Download:http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.0_BETA2/

Please do NOT open bug reports at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker but use our VirtualBox Beta Feedback forum to report any problems with the Beta. Please concentrate on reporting regressions since VirtualBox 3.2.12 / VirtualBox 4.0.0 Beta 1.

Note: As of version 4.0, VirtualBox introduces the Extension Pack mechanism which allows Oracle and 3rd parties to deliver additional functionality on top of the standard Open Source product. The Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack, adds support for USB 2.0, RDP server and the PXE bootloader with E1000 support.
You can download this Pack from the same location and install it via the VirtualBox Global Settings using the Extensions pane.

This is the second beta of the upcoming 4.0 release. The following items were added/fixed since VirtualBox 4.0.0 Beta 1:
ExtPacks: show a confirmation dialog before installing an extpack
ICH9 chipset: fix Windows detection of the 82801IB host bridge
Linux hosts: fixed a wrong dependency to libstdc++5 in the Oracle ExtPack for 32-bit Linux which prevented to install that package on recent Linux distributions
Solaris hosts: fixed a bug which prevented to install ExtPacks at all
Linux/Solaris hosts: fixed the changelog in VirtualBox.chm (4.0 Beta 1 regression)
Audio/HDA: fixed issue with Ubuntu 10.10 guests and OpenSolaris guests
Audio/HDA: fixed choppy sound of Windows guests
GUI: fixed display of the file shortcuts on some older Window Manager on X11
Mouse: fixed mouse reporting which was not working for X11 guests with pre-4.0 Additions (4.0 Beta 1 regression)
Settings: use forward slashes in paths to make settings files more portable between Windows & other platforms
VBoxManage: show exact image format variant with VBoxManage showhdinfo
VBoxHeadless: detect VBoxSVC crash and terminate the VM cleanly
SATA: fixed DVD detection with Solaris guests
Linux Additions: fixed compilation of the kernel modules with DKMS (4.0 Beta 1 regression)
VMDK: fixed image corruption with async I/O (4.0 Beta 1 regression)
VBoxManage: fixed image resizing and the associated help text
OVA: fix wrong size writing for individual files greater 4GB (max. 8GB now)
X11 guests: multi-monitor support for X.Org Server 1.3+
