There were already Beta versions of VirtualBox 5.0 available, an now there is a RC, so I suspect release in the next few weeks.

The current version of phpvirtualbox supports 4.3 only, would it be hard to support 5.0, too? I have not yet tried, maybe the API is backwards compatible and would work out of the box.

    Do we have an ETA for VirtualBox 5.0 support?

    I have phpvirtualbox-5.0 ready for release. I'm just waiting on project uploads to be available again once they completely fix the sourceforge outage.

    Thank you for the update! I was about to hack my own "minimal-invasive" support (adopting new WSDL file).

    Looking forward to VB 5.0 support!

    Tried phpVirtualBox 4.3 with VB 5.0, it had few issues like screenshots were not working etc, but was still workable if you are really stuck.

    Yeah, a lot of stuff works, but e.g. starting a VM fails! Also snapshotting is not working. These are the main task I do everyday. Currently I have to use cmdline, which is horrible for such tasks. So I am waiting for the update, I hope Sourceforge gets its infrastructure back up!

    Sourceforge's SVN is back online, so I am looking forward to try new stuff. Is svn trunk already on VirtualBox 5?

      Last commit in SVN was on 2015-04-04, so it's probably not ready yet, especially judging by last commit names (Periodic commit. DO NOT USE!).

    Hi Denis,
    Have seen his, too!
    Do you have the same problem that the 4.3 variant does not start VMs? From the status line it looks like it tries to start the VM without "headless" and this fails (it displays "GUI" while staring, afetr that an exception is displayed). Mabye there was some change in the API, so headless was not correctly enabled with 5.0. I also found no setting where you can change the start type.

      I used VirtualBox 5 Beta 1 or 2 (not the final release) and it started VMs without issues. That was a month or so ago, haven't tried since.

    I think, this should be resolved. 5.0-1 works perfectly.

      I confirm. So far everything is good!
