Virtual DICE has been updated

We’ve updated Virtual DICE! Both “little” and “large” VMs have been updated.
There are two changes compared to last month’s release:

  1. VirtualBox Guest Additions has been updated to a much newer version, so the Virtual DICE VM should now be better integrated with the rest of your computer environment. For example, the focus will be more likely to follow the mouse – the VM should no longer capture your mouse and keyboard by default.
  2. DICE changes since September are included in the latest Virtual DICE releases.

You can find out more at:

If you have any problems with the new version please contact us using the computing support form. Thanks.
