Parallels Server 3.0 Beta4 Build 1990 is now available for download. The build reintroduces Leopard Server virtualization, which had been temporarily removed. The upgraded beta means that Leopard Server can once again be run under a virtual machine on XServe systems, or any other compatible Apple hardware.
As a company employee posts in the Parallels forum, this is what’s new in Beta 4:
Virtualization Engine
- Guest Mac OS X Leopard Server support (on top of Mac OS X Leopard Server only)
- General performance improvement
- Virtual machine density improvement
Virtual devices
- Networking performance improvement
Server Infrastructure and User interface
- Separate installer for Parallels Management Console for Linux included
- Separate installer for Parallels SDK included
