Well BlueBear have kindly given me another 47 beta invites to give away to coincide with the release of the second beta version of the software , Interestingly named “Curious Cub”.

I haven’t had a chance to take a look at it myself but have had a good look at Duncan Epping’s article over at Yellow Bricks which you can read by clicking here

If you’d like a beta invite just drop me a comment on this post and I will do my best to process them all tomorrow.  Might be after the day job has finished though :o)

Beta Release Documentation

New functionality

We have added support for configuring existing virtual machines. All the expected functions are available. Configuration for a Virtual Machine is accessible via the configure button attached to a given VM object on the screen (Inspector Panels / Map)

Configuration of all standard resources is available, e.g. Memory Size, CPU allocation/shares, virtual disks, virtual NICs, and removable devices. Usage Notes

Virtual disks are of the “preallocated/thick” type, support for all disk types will be available in the next release.

‘Host-device-backed’ virtual devices (e.g. floppy/cdrom/raw) are not supported, but will be available in a future release.

‘Remote-backed’ virtual devices (e.g. floppy/cdrom/ISO images on the client) are not supported, but will be available in a future release.

VMs must be powered off for configuration. While it is possible to reconfigure a running VM, it may result in a host fault that will cause your changes to be discarded.

If you make changes to a VM that you don’t want to commit, simply close the configure window and the changes will be discarded, (or hit the discard button).

Support for VM Creation will be available in the next release.

Known Issues

Untrusted certificates on windows may cause an authorization dialog to continually appear. The certificate must be added to the local store, please see this page for a work-around.

License keycodes are case sensitive, please ensure you enter them exactly.

VirtualCenter is not yet fully supported. While it might work, functionality is not guaranteed to give predictable results. We are currently adapting Kodiak’s back-end data model to more effectively handle VirtualCenter’s data structures.

Support / Bug Reports

We’re working on enhancing our support wiki, bug reporting and additional content are almost ready.
