-{ Quote: "
This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:

Teleportation (aka live migration); migrate a live VM session from one host to another (see the manual for more information)

VM states can now be restored from arbitrary snapshots instead of only the last one, and new snapshots can be taken from other snapshots as well ("branched snapshots"; see the manual for more information)

2D video acceleration for Windows guests; use the host video hardware for overlay stretching and color conversion (see the manual for more information)

More flexible storage attachments: CD/DVD drives can be attached to arbitrary storage controllers, and there can be more than one such drive (the manual for more information)

The network attachment type can be changed while a VM is running

Complete rewrite of experimental USB support for OpenSolaris hosts making use of the latest USB enhancements in Solaris Nevada 124 and higher

Significant performance improvements for PAE and AMD64 guests (VT-x and AMD-V only; normal (non-nested) paging)

Experimental support for EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface; see the manual for more information)
Support for paravirtualized network adapters (virtio-net; see the manual for more information)" }-

Fixes are on the link above.
