Boxes 3.3.5



We are pleased to announce a new release of Boxes.

Changes since 3.3.4.1:

- Fix startup against latest gtk+.
- Make sure VM image dir exists. This got broken when we started using
  XDG_CONFIG_DIR as VM image directory.
- Don't choke on unknown installer media.
- Fix build against git master of libvirt-glib.
- Confine file chooser dialog in creation wizard to local filesystem.
- Be slightly helpful to users when they are typing URL manually in creation
  wizard.
- Fix recent regression in non-express installations.
- Express install:
  - Support 32-bit Windows 7.
  - Add user to 'wheel' group in Fedora, rather than editing the sudoers file.
- Disable screenshots on machine deletion.
- Choose resources according to media architecture.
- Don't use gettext since we're using intltool.
- Mark comments string in About dialog as translatable and add
  translation credits.
- Added/updated translations:
  - Polish
- Many other functional and non-functional improvements and fixes.

All bugs fixed in this release:

668230 - express,fedora: Add user to 'wheel' group
668536 - Hangs at Analyzing installer media: "storage pool is not active"
