*주의, 5.2 버전에는 게스트 확장 기능이 아직까지 일부 리눅스 배포판에서 3D 가속 옵션이 켜진 경우 올바르게 작동하지 않는 문제가 있다고 함. 고치기 어려운 문제인지 다음 버전 업데이트 때 고칠 수 있기를 바란다고(....)

PXE: speed up booting by better handling pending packets when the link is not up yet

VBoxManage: handle CPUID sub-leaf overrides better

Windows Additions: fix several 3D related crashes

Solaris hosts: allow increasing MTU size for host-only adapter to 9706 bytes to support jumbo frames

Linux Additions: on systems using systemd, make sure that only the Guest Additions timesync service is active
