NEWS

General:
* Bug #1959846, #2760666: Don't crash the host, if an other virtualization
   runs in VMX mode.

Network:
* Bug #2849262: SLiRP: Active FTP failed with "500 Illegal PORT command".
   Environment COLINUX_HOST_IPADDR overwrites auto detected host ip address.

Console and daemons:
* Insert keys from fltk console without keyboard mapping. (Paolo Minazzi)
* New: NT console WinKey+V paste keys from clipboard. (Vladislav Grishenko)
* Linux as host: Handle extended keys, for example ALT+CurRight.
* Automatically add network dependency to coLinux as service.
* Version informations about binutils and SVN revision added to daemon file.

Linux Kernel:
* Remove floating point handling from passage page code. FPU save/restore
   only on demand and only inside Linux guest kernel, if Linux kernel or 
Linux
   userland needs the FPU. In cases where FPU was not used on Linux 
guest side,
   the registers of FPU are not touched. That saves some time between 
operating
   system switches. It's 1 percent (or less) faster now.
* Increase CO_LINUX_API_VERSION to 13, avoids crashes with older builds.
* cloop updated to version 2.625
* Forward plain text panic message instead "terminated with code 3".
