Bidirectional shared clipboard. Dynamic desktop resizing. *) after reboot journalctl -b-1 ends with the following so the shutdown was successful, but it did not reboot up at all by itself.

Host: MGA8-64 Plasma, i5-2500, Intel graphics, wired Internet. No installation issues. Ran a Mageia 8 32-bit Plasma guest, updated it, updated the guest additions, rebooted it, and all seems well. Ran a Windows 7 guest, used the gui "Upgrade guest additions" function to download and insert/upgrade the additions. Windows checked for new HP software(none available), updated anti-malware definitions. I told it to shut down, but it had to finish an update first. Typical. Created a new guest, then tried to boot into the latest round of Cauldron test beta Live i586 Xfce iso. This got as far as a login screen, and that was it - a known bug in the iso. Enabled 3D acceleration, and booted the guest into Live mode. Installed 32-bit Xfce without issues, and rebooted. Looks good here so far.

No regressions noticed in my testing on x86_64 host with x86_64 and i586 guests. Advisory committed to svn. Validating the update.
