Parallels ha puesto para descarga una nueva actualización para Parallels 3.0 en formato Beta que añade nuevas características y mejoras solicitadas por los usuarios de este software.
Esta actualización, una vez finalizado el período de pruebas, será gratuita para los usuarios registrados del software.
La actualización cuenta con las siguientes novedades:
– Coherence es ahora compatible con Expose, incluyendo efectos de sombra paralela. Podrás desde ahora “apilar” aplicaciones Windows y Mac como más te guste.
– Una herramienta mejorada Explorer que ahora funciona con máquinas virtuales que pueden estar pagadas
– Una completa herramienta Image compatible con Snapshot para convertir, agrandar o dividir discos virtuales
– Soporte iPhone en Windows XP y Vista
La lista de las nuevas características y la posibilidad de descargar la actualización (insistimos, aún en fase beta) se encuentra en este enlace.
Here’s what’s new:
Coherence windows now work with Expose! This means that each individual Windows application window will appears a separate, selectable window when you hit F9 to enter Expose. Windows windows (man, that sounds weird to say…) also have neat OS X effects too, like drop shadows. You’ll also be able to “stack” Windows application and Mac application windows in any order you’d like, so the experience is completely seamless.
The Image Tool is back at full strength and completely compatible with snapshotted drives. Using the image tool, users can:
Convert virtual hard drive format (plain to expanding, expanding to plain),
Enable/disable the «undo disk» option, which will erase all changes made during a session at shutdown. Its ideal for those of you doing a lot of testing or working in school settings),
Easily enlarge a virtual hard drive if you’re running out of space.
Explorer, our free utility that lets you browse and work with your VM’s hard drive even with the VM is off, now also works with VMs that are suspended. Be sure to read the release notes/user guide on how to do this safely.
iPhone support in XP and Vista. Yes, I realize the irony of syncing an Apple device with Windows running on a Mac, but lots of people need to hook their iPhones up to Outlook. Try not to judge.
As we roll through subsequent betas, we’ll be adding some other really cool, never-before-seen-anywhere features, so keep an eye on the blog for updates.
