Pre-release
Installation
Visit https://getutm.app/install/ for the most up to date installation instructions.
Highlights
- Wizard redesign (thanks @js-john)
- Store .utm bundles anywhere on disk (including on external drives) and import them as a shortcut. See notes below for some limitations.
Notes
- (iOS) UTM v3.1.x will be the last update to support iOS 11 and iOS 12. If you are still running those versions, please make sure you report any issues now so they can be fixed by the final release of v3.1.x. After that, iOS 13+ will be required to run future versions of UTM.
- This update makes significant changes to the backend of UTM which may have introduced more issues than usual. As a precaution, please make sure you back up your VMs before running this beta in case there are bugs that cause data loss.
- You can now run .utm files stored anywhere. There are a few caveats: First, all newly created VMs will still be created in the default storage (app sandbox). You can move the VM after creation with the new button on the toolbar or by right clicking (or force touch) on the VM entry and selecting "Move..." Second, when VM shortcuts are deleted, the underlying data is unaffected, and shortcuts are automatically deleted when they are no longer valid (for example, the .utm was moved). You can re-import the .utm by either double clicking it from Finder, or using "File -> Import Virtual Machine..." Finally, Apple VMs do not support persistent shortcuts, which means the shortcut is always deleted after UTM quits. This means you must re-import Apple VMs every time UTM is launched.
Changes (v3.1.1)
- Automatically delete broken bookmarks for removable drives and shared directories after showing the error once (#3575)
- Refactored backend QEMU VM manager to support Swift concurrency and also fix some rare race issues
- Added picker for console background and text colour (thanks @ktprograms)
- Added font style (bold/italics) for console font as well as font chooser for macOS (thanks @ktprograms)
- Fixed crash/freeze when using UTM URL actions (#3642)
- (iOS) Wizard: style was incorrect on iOS 14
