<p>This release adds support for using the Terminal app in developer options for
running other operating systems with hardware-based virtualization. It's
currently only a terminal but Android is adding support for graphics and GPU
acceleration for a future release. For now, it's still too experimental and not
stable enough to be moved outside developer options. We don't recommend using
developer options on a production device, but you can temporarily enable it to
turn on this feature and turn them back off without it being disabled like most
developer options. The data inside it should currently be treated as temporary
and disposable. We plan to support using other guest operating systems beyond
the standard Debian-based image they provide, which can remain as an option
without being a default.</p>
<p>This release adds support for the experimental virtual machine management app
introduced in Android 15 QPR2. It currently only provides support for managing a
single VM and interacting with it via a WebView-based terminal. Android is in
the process of adding support for graphics and GPU acceleration for a future
release. For now, it's only available in developer options due to being highly
experimental. We don't recommend using developer options on a production device,
but you can temporarily enable it to turn on this feature and turn them back off
without it being disabled like most developer options. The data inside it should
currently be treated as disposable rather than relying on it not losing it from
a bug or a backwards incompatible update. We plan to support choosing other
guest operating systems beyond the Debian-based image provided by Android along
with taking far more advantage of the virtualization infrastructure.</p>
