-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.
+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.
