Highlights

  • QEMU v9.1.2 The backend has been updated to the latest upstream QEMU which brings with it a variety of bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • (macOS 15) Nested virtualization for Linux Linux VMs using Apple Virtualization backend on macOS 15 and M3 or newer will now have nested virtualization enabled by default.
  • (macOS 15) Total Store Ordering for QEMU VMs using QEMU backend on macOS 15 can now enable TSO (in QEMU settings) at the hypervisor level. When TSO is enabled on a guest operating system that is aware of the system register (i.e. Rosetta for Linux), performance of Intel emulation within the guest can be greatly improved. Note that if the guest kernel supports dynamically toggling TSO, you do not need to enable this.
  • (macOS 15) Improved macOS guest support The last window size (including full screen size) will be restored when the guest supports dynamic resolution. Removable drives and shared directories can now be ejected and changed while the macOS VM is running. Copy/paste synchronization between macOS 15 guest and host now works when the guest tools are installed (from the CD icon in the toolbar).

Notes

  • (macOS) There is a known issue with macOS 15.0 and 15.0.1 where accesses to files will fail due to a permission error. This issue has been resolved with macOS 15.1.
  • (macOS) There is a known issue on M4 series of Macs where virtualization fails for macOS guests older than 13.4. The issue should be addressed by Apple in a future update. (#6794)
  • There is a known issue (#6332) with Windows 11 24H2 that causes the display to show a black screen or "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)" upon boot. We recommend not upgrading to 24H2 for existing installs and 23H2 for new installs. If you have already upgraded, please follow the workaround described in the linked issue.
  • The default CPU for x86_64 emulation and virtualization will now try to match the architecture of your system or the highest architecture that QEMU supports. For example, a 2016 MacBook Pro or newer will now emulate a "Skylake" based processor instead of a generic x86_64 processor. This should improve compatibility and performance of newer operating systems but may cause issues with older operating systems. If you run into issues, you can manually change the CPU model to an older one in the VM's System settings.
  • The update to QEMU v9.1.2 will likely introduce other issues and regressions. If you experience any problem (crashes, performance, errors) that was not evident in v4.5.x, please open an issue and provide all the requested information. It would also be helpful if you can provide a reproducible example and note the last version of UTM where it worked properly.

Highlights

  • (macOS) UTM Remote server for macOS On macOS 13+, you can enable UTM Server from the new option on the home screen or from Window -> UTM Server. Once enabled, you can stream QEMU backend VMs to supported clients. The preferences page includes additional options including auto-starting the server and allowing external connections so it can be used outside of the local network. New documentation pages will be added in the future.
  • (macOS) UTM Remote client for iOS and visionOS When UTM Server is enabled on macOS, you can connect to it with the new UTM Remote client which uses the same frontend as UTM for iOS/visionOS but without any of the QEMU backend. You can get it for free on the App Store.
  • (iOS) UTM SE's wizard now allow you to create a VM easily with a floppy boot image.
  • (iOS SE) We now accept donations through In-App Purchase. If you would like to support us, please use the heart button on top of the list of VMs.

Notes

  • (macOS) The automation URI scheme has been removed due to potential security issues if the user clicks a malicious link that sends an input to the VM. Most of the URI scheme functionality has moved to the scripting interface.

Changes (v4.5.4)

  • Fixed an issue causing "The file ... couldn't be opened" immediately after creating a new VM (#6398)
  • The timestamp of the .utm package will always update to the last time it runs, this should make managing backups easier (#6474)
  • Fixed the error "Failed to lock byte 100: Operation not supported" when trying to attach an ISO which the OS has mounted or from a network drive that does not support locking (#6564)
  • Fixed an issue where release notes loading can be delayed by a lack of internet connection (it should just fail silently)

  • (macOS) Fixed an issue where mouse/keyboard was not getting released when an error message popped up and "Capture .. automatically ..." is enabled (#6352)
  • (macOS 14+) AVF: New option to mount drive on virtual NVMe interface when running a Linux guest with Apple Virtualization. This should address file system corruption issues. (thanks @gnattu)
  • (macOS 12+) AVF: Use full synchronization mode for all non-external drives. This should address file system corruption issues. (thanks @gnattu)

Changes (v4.5.2)

  • Improved icon selector UI (thanks @js-john)
  • Changed the position of destructive buttons in various confirmation alerts to better comply with Apple Human Interface Guidelines
  • Wizard: New options for "Other" operating system to allow for Floppy boot as well as legacy hardware (useful for setting up a DOS machine)

  • (iOS) UTM SE's wizard now allow you to create a VM easily with a floppy boot image.

Notes

  • (macOS) The automation URI scheme has been removed due to potential security issues if the user clicks a malicious link that sends an input to the VM. Most of the URI scheme functionality has moved to the scripting interface.

v4.4.5

macOS Users: there is no difference between v4.4.4 and v4.4.5. You do not need to update.

Highlights

  • macOS Sonoma support New Apple Virtualization features include save/restore VM state and dynamic resolution for macOS Sonoma guests. Note that currently, you must remove the Sound and Entropy device in order to use save/restore VM state.
  • Automatically save state when you close a VM This will only work on VMs that support save states. If your VM does not support it, you will get an error message with an explanation.
  • (macOS) USB commands in utmctl You can now use utmctl usb commands to connect and disconnect USB devices from a running VM.
  • (iOS) TrollStore support for newer iOS With the release of TrollStore 2, this update brings JIT support for all iOS device that can run TrollStore. If (and only if) you are on at most iOS 16.3.1 AND your device is M1, M2, or A16, then you can also use the virtualization option. No other device or higher iOS version will likely ever be supported due to Apple removing Hypervisor in iOS 16.4. The only way around this is if Apple un-deletes the code (unlikely) or a jailbreak powerful enough to run a custom kernel is released (even more unlikely as this has never been done on a modern iOS device).

Notes

  • (macOS) If you are running a virtualized VM on an Intel Mac with TPM enabled and the guest freezes on startup, you will need to temporarily disable Hypervisor (Settings -> QEMU -> Use Hypervisor), boot into Windows, and then re-enable Hypervisor after shutting down. The TPM device changed in v4.4.1 and this causes an issue on existing VMs.
  • (macOS) When entering full-screen, auto-capture of system keys in AVF (introduced in v4.3.2) and of mouse in QEMU (introduced in v4.4.0) is no longer default. You can enable the option in preferences (Cmd+,) under the Input tab.
  • Linux guests: Mesa 23.2.1 introduced a bug that will crash UTM with the error GL_ARB_clear_texture. If you experience this bug, temporarily disable GPU acceleration, then downgrade your Mesa package (or update to the next version when it comes out/nightly build), and the switch back to GPU acceleration.
  • Windows guests: the guest tools have been updated to fix the double cursor bug as well as some driver signing issues when Secure Boot is enabled. To update the guest tools, make sure you have ejected any mounted ISO and then use the CD icon and select "Install Windows Guest Tools". This should automatically download and mount the latest tools.

  • Fixed a "device not found" error when starting a VM with an empty interface (#5845)
  • Fixed JIT for TrollStore builds (#5216) (thanks @crstestacc)
