NanaBox 1.0 (1.0.471.0)
This is the first stable version and of NanaBox.
I am sorry NanaBox 1.0 doesn't include the virtual machine creation and settings UI because it's not finished. But I really thanks to @driver1998 for his huge contribution to that. I think this feature will be finished in NanaBox 1.1.

- NanaBox needs elevated privilege via UAC.
- The automatic switch between Enhanced Session Mode and Basic Session Mode won't be implemented.
- The virtual machine creation UI and settings UI is not implemented.
Release Notes
- Fix the background color issue when window size is bigger than the virtual machine content or using the fullscreen mode.
- Improve the background color policy when window size is bigger than the virtual machine content in windowed mode for better user experience. (Suggested by AndromedaMelody.)
- Enable frame buffer redirection for reducing the overhead.
- Enable redirect key combinations by default to improve the user experience.
- Fix virtual machine instance network disconnection issue when starting the same virtual machine instance repeatedly.
- Improve the implementation of running with unpackaged mode in package mode via using package's LocalState folder instead of user's Temp folder.
- Improve the user experience when switching NanaBox instances via Windows taskbar.
- Update to Git submodule version of Mile.Project.Windows.

NanaBox 1.0 Preview 2 (1.0.247.0)
This is the second preview version and of NanaBox. This is the first version which is submitted to the Microsoft Store.
Note: NanaBox maybe the first open-source third-party Hyper-V client based on Host Compute System API.
Known issues
- The localization for the NanaBox UI is not implemented in NanaBox 1.0 Preview 1.
- The virtual machine creation UI and settings UI is not implemented in NanaBox 1.0 Preview 1.
- The automatic switch between Enhanced Session Mode and Basic Session Mode is not implemented because HcsEventSystemRdpEnhancedModeStateChanged event can be fired on at least Windows 10 Build 17763, but in Windows 11 Build 22621 cannot. It's confirmed as a HCS API bug via a friendly Microsoft employee and will fix it in the future.
- TPM support is not available because current stage of HCS API seems doesn't implement them.
- NanaBox needs elevated privilege via UAC because HCN API in Windows 11 Build 22621 will return ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED even add the current user to the Hyper-V Administrators user group. Windows 10 don't have that issue.
- Due to HCS API limitation, the guest only supports UEFI Class 3 or UEFI without CSM or Hyper-V Gen 2 VM.
Release Notes
- Fix access denied issue when virtual disk and image files located under any subfolders under %SystemDrive%\Users. (#2) (Thanks to AndromedaMelody.)
- Add full screen support. (#4) (Suggested by Belleve. Contributed by AndromedaMelody.)
- Fix issue when configuring the GPU-PV with the list assignment mode.
- Add overcommit support for virtual machines.
- Implement the multi-language support: English and Simplified Chinese.
- Improve the exit notice window layout. (Suggested by AndromedaMelody.)
- Update new original icon assets. (Designed by Shomnipotence.)
- Update Mile.Xaml to 1.1.434. (https://github.com/ProjectMile/Mile.Xaml/releases/tag/1.1.434.0)
- Update Mile.Windows.Helpers to 1.0.9. (https://github.com/ProjectMile/Mile.Windows.Helpers/commits/main)
- Implement the Shell New Submenu support for NanaBox Virtual Machine Configuration File creation. (Suggested by Legna.)
- Update NanaBox Configuration File Reference documentation.
- Add support for running with unpackaged mode in package mode for resolving cannot copy files from virtual machine to host file explorer. (#1) (Thanks to AndromedaMelody.)
- Make exposing the virtualization extensions to the virtual machine option available in the NanaBox Configuration File. So, people can use NanaBox on some processors which is not support Nested Virtualization via Hyper-V. (#3) (Suggested by driver1998.)
