Whats New:
VirtualBox 5.0.20 (released 2016-04-28)

This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:

Storage: fixed a regression causing write requests from the BIOS to cause a

Guru Meditation with the LsiLogic SCSI controller (5.0.18 regression; bug

#15317)
Storage: several emulation fixes in the BusLogic SCSI controller emulation
NAT Network: support TCP in DNS proxy (same problem as in bug #14736 for

NAT)
NAT: rework handling of port-forwarding rules (bug #13570)
NAT: rewrite host resolver to handle more query types and make it

asynchronous so that a stalled lookup doesn't block all NAT traffic
Snapshots: don't crash when restoring a snapshot which has more network

adapters than the current state (ie when the snapshot uses ICH9 and the

current state uses PIIX3)
Guest Control: various bugfixes for the copyfrom and copyto commands / API

(bug #14336)
VBoxManage: list processor features on list hostinfo (bug #15334)
Linux hosts: fix for Linux 4.5 if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT is enabled (bug #15327)
Windows hosts: another fix for recent Windows 10 insider builds (bug #15337)
Windows hosts: make it work on Windows XP again (5.0.18 regression)
Windows Additions: fixed performance issues with PowerPoint 2010 and the

WDDM graphics drivers if Aero is disabled
