ChangeLog

Here are the list of changes that led to the current version

* Version 0.7.5
  * Bug #1959846, #2760666: Don't crash the host, if an other virtualization
    runs in VMX mode.

  Network:
  * Bug #2849262: SLiRP: Active FTP failed with "500 Illegal PORT command".
    Environment COLINUX_HOST_IPADDR overwrites auto detected host ip address.

  Console and daemons:
  * Insert keys from fltk console without keyboard mapping. (Paolo Minazzi)
  * New: NT console WinKey+V paste keys from clipboard. (Vladislav Grishenko)
  * Linux as host: Handle extended keys, for example ALT+CurRight.
  * Automatically add network dependency to coLinux as service.
  * Version informations about binutils and SVN revision added to daemon file.

  Kernel:
  * Remove floating point handling from passage page code. FPU save/restore
    only on demand and only inside Linux guest kernel, if Linux kernel or Linux
    userland needs the FPU. In cases where FPU was not used on Linux guest side,
    the registers of FPU are not touched. That saves some time between operating
    system switches. It's 1 percent (or less) faster now.
  * Increase CO_LINUX_API_VERSION to 13, avoids crashes with older builds.
  * cloop updated to version 2.625
  * Forward plain text panic message instead "terminated with code 3".

  Buildsystem:
  * Bug #2847393: Configure detected wrong program versions. (Steven Chen)

  Updated libraries and tools:
  * w32api 3.13
