This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
 GUI: always report recommended resolutions for all monitors (not always done since
4.2.12)
 GUI: make sure the assigned license and description are attached to the exported appliance
 GUI: the OS X hot corners were not accessible while a VirtualBox VM is running (Mac OS
X hosts only; bug #4139)
 NAT: don’t run into an infinite loop in case the host cannot access any DNS server (4.3.0
regression; bug #12300)
 NAT: don’t re-connect the cable if the DNS information changes and the cable was disconnected before (4.3.0 regression; bug #12225)
 Main: properly save the passthrough flag for DVD drives without an attached medium
 Keyboard: fixed a VM crash if a VM was resumed from a saved state where at least one key
was pressed (bug #11289)
 2D Video acceleration: fix crashes on presentation mode switches (bug #9194)
 Storage: fixed errors with snapshots when using QCOW or QED disk images (bug #12144)
 Storage: fix for newer Linux kernels not detecting a hard disk as SSD when using the IDE
or SATA controller (bug #12025)
 Storage: fixed detection of CD/DVD media when switching from an empty to a host drive
with passthrough enabled

 Extpack Installer: make it work if the file is located in a folder with special characters
 SDK: extended the functionality coverage for the C bindings
 API: block the removal of the current snapshot if it has child snapshots (only relevant for
VMs without snapshottable hard disks, their presence always prevented removal), which
resulted in VM config corruption
 API: mark VM configs with snapshots but without current snapshot as inaccessible, as this
combination is nonsense
 API: fixed information for some automatically generated events (only with XPCOM, Windows host was not affected), which caused errors when getting some of the attributes over
the webservice (bug #12379)
 Mac OS X hosts: support for Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
 Mac OS X hosts: properly sign the kernel extensions for Mavericks hosts (bug #12256)
 Mac OS X hosts: use a launchd script instead of the deprecated StartupItem mechanism
(bug #8940)

the dock after a VM terminated preventing Mavericks hosts from shutting (bug #12241)

 Linux Additions: Linux 3.12 compile fix (bug #12083)
 Linux Additions: Linux 3.11 fix for shared folders (bugs #11946, #12128)

#11996)
 Linux Additions: make 3D work on Slackware 14.1 (bug #12320 comments 3 and 4)
 Windows Additions: fixed memory leak caused by WTSQuerySessionInformation() on Windows 2000 guests (bug #12072)
