New Features (Summary)

• URL automation and VM downloading (Add URL scheme #2670) (thanks @conath) Allows for controlling and downloading VMs with utm:// URL. Check out Add URL scheme #2670 for more information.
• (macOS) Improved cursor/keyboard capturing and handling: permit macOS shortcuts (minimize, full-screen) when not captured, fix various cursor bugs, basic support for VoiceOver and capturing, and more.
• (macOS) Various UI enhancements: export log/args to file (Use NSSavePanel on macOS for exporting #3056), title bar changes (Remove VM name from main window title on macOS #3125), exit confirmation works beyond Cmd+Q/W (Show alert before closing window or quitting #3154) (thanks @ktprograms and @conath)

Changes (v2.3.1)

• Fixed crash when Fn key is pressed (thanks @ktprograms) (UTM 2.3.0 crashes when pressing the Fn key while inside a VM #3179)
• Fixed Unicode support in terminal mode (thanks @tie)

Changes (v2.3.0)

• Support re-generating and customizing MAC address (Add option for unique MAC addresses #2724)
• On PC/Q35 devices, USB mouse and keyboard will be disabled in order to prevent interference with the PS/2 keyboard and mouse that is always added to the machines. Some software such as Windows Installer will not work with the second mice.

I have tested the following guests on my M1 MacBook Pro (macOS 11.6); system architecture is in braces:

• Mac OS 9 (PowerPC) OK
• DOS (i368 / x86) OK
• Windows 11 for ARM (aarch64 with Hypervisor; "Bridged Network" mode) Install flaky Windows Installer triggers QEMU USB reset, aborting installation #3194 but likely Windows problem. otherwise OK – runs great, have not tried to get 2D gpu accel working (QXL)
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ARM OK: Desktop works, 3D crashes as expected 2.2.1 VirGL crashes the QEMULauncher (pointer being freed was not allocated) #3053
• ReactOS (x86_64) OK
• Windows 10 21h1 (x86_64)
