• Cope with UbuntuCloudImage by default [GH-86], [GH-64], [GH-43] On Ubuntu, always try to remove conflicting installations of GuestAdditions by removing those packages: virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11
• Unload kernel modules when UbuntuCloudImage packages are installed. (Thanks @eric1234 for commenting on ec9a7b1f0a)

  • remove version locks on gems provided by vagrant

• Fix crash on Vagrant 1.4 [GH-100]

heads-up

• With [GH-94] the name, vagrant-vbguest registers itself to vagrant's (≥1.1) plugin-system changed from 'vbguest management' to 'vagrant-vbguest'

0.9.0

• Adds support for vagrant 1.3 [GH-71], [GH-72]
• Fix crash when using as a command [GH-68].
• Don't trust VirtualBox Media Manager informations when looking for an iso file. [GH-70]

heads-up

• Be lax about missing installer for guest OS. No longer throws an error when no Installer class for the guest os was found. Keep the error message, stop vbguest workflow, but keep vagrant running. [GH-65]

0.8.0

• Adds Vagrant 1.2 compatibility [GH-59], [GH-60], [GH-62] / (thanks @Andrew8xx8 for pointing directions)
• Fix basic/fallback linux installer [GH-56]
• Guard auto-reload on broken vagrant builds. Some vagrant 1.1.x versions have a bug regarding ssh and cleaning up old connections, which results in vagrant crashing when a box is reloaded.

0.7.1

• Fix auto-reloading for vagrant 1.1 [GH-52] Also changes the reload method for vagrant 1.0 when ran as middleware (to not run build-in actions manually).

0.7.0

• When looking for a GuestAdditions iso file in media manager allow version number in filename. [GH-48], [GH-49] / (thanks @neerolyte)
• Support multiple locations to be searched while "guessing" GuestAdditions iso file

• Reworked bunch of internals, particularly how vagrants's environment is passed around. Also decoupled GuestAdditions finder into a separate class.
• Introduce a vagrant 1.0 compatibility layer for Installers and other vbguest internals

heads-up

• [GH-44] changes the behaviour of vbguest to that effect, that it will no longer halt vagrant workflow if running the VirtualBox GuestAdditions Installer returns an error-code. Instead it will print a human readable waring message.
• The environment (env) in custom installers is no longer the actions environment Hash, but the Environment instance. Which has some implications on how you can access e.g. the ui: instead of env[:ui] use env.ui
• To achieve compatibility to both vagrant 1.0 and 1.1, custom Installers, when executing shell commands on the guest system, should use vbguests communicate wrapper. e.g.: A call like vm.channel.sudo 'apt-get update' should be changed to communicate.sudo 'apt-get update' The old vm.channel syntax will continue to work on vagrant 1.0.x but will fail on vagrant 1.1.x.

    • start : Try to start the GuestAdditions Service
    • rebuild : Rebuild the currently installed Guest Additions
    • install : Run the installation process from "iso file"
  • New --status argument
  • Removed -I|--no-install argument (instead use --status)

0.5.1 (2012-11-30)
