Changelog

v5.0.4Pre-release

v5.0.4 (Beta)

Added 6
  • DirectX 11 graphics support for Windows on macOS through experimental driver
  • Vulkan 1.3 graphics support for Linux guests with VirtIO Venus drivers in Mesa
  • OpenGL 4.1 support with Apple Core OpenGL backend on macOS
  • Neptune backend support in virglrenderer for DirectX support on macOS
  • Reload config and VLAN commands in scripting
  • Ability to get IP address from AVF machines in scripting
Changed 7
  • Minimum supported macOS version is now 13 and iOS version is now 16
  • Default FPS is now the maximum refresh rate of the display on macOS and iPadOS
  • CocoaSpice Metal renderer reworked to be faster and have lower latency
  • Pinch to zoom on iOS will turn off automatically updating zoom from the guest
  • German localization updated
  • Chinese (Hong Kong, Simplified) localization updated
  • USB icon updated
Fixed 7
  • Various SPICE renderer bugs that led to performance and tearing issues
  • SPICE memory leak that could result in large amount of memory use
  • Regression in GRUB rendering time due to new graphics backend
  • Vulkan issues on latest Wayland
  • GL acceleration regression where desktop might not render correctly
  • Issue on macOS where window resizes to 0x0 when native scaling is enabled
  • Crash in UTMRegistry and memory leak in AVF installer
Highlights
  • (macOS) DirectX 11 graphics support for Windows: Modern accelerated graphics for Windows 11 is now available on UTM for the first time. The driver is still experimental and games compatibility is currently limited.
  • Vulkan 1.3 graphics support for Linux: Vulkan 1.3 is now supported on Linux guests with VirtIO Venus drivers in Mesa. Additionally, OpenGL 4.1 is supported with the new Apple Core OpenGL backend (macOS only).
Notes
  • UTM 5 now requires macOS 13 and iOS 16 as the minimum supported version. If you are running an older version, you should stay on the last stable release of UTM 4.
  • We now have a development blog! Follow us for in-depth technical deep dives such as how we brought DirectX to QEMU.
  • (macOS) To use the new graphics driver for Windows 11, we recommend a fresh install because the driver is still experimental and its use could lead to instability in the system. During the install of the guest tools, you will be prompted to select the experimental graphics driver. If you wish to install the new driver on a system that already is running the older display only driver, you need to run the uninstall script provided on the guest tools install ISO first.
  • (macOS) Apple CoreGL backend does not support Vulkan or DirectX.
  • KosmicKrisp is provided as a WIP but the current upstream build is incomplete so MoltenVK is the recommended driver
  • Linux desktop rendering in Vulkan does not work due to lack of support for indirect draws for geometry shaders. Please configure your guest to use the older VirGL Gallium driver.

  • QEMU v10.0.2: The backend has been updated to the latest upstream QEMU which brings with it a variety of bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • Liquid Glass: UTM adopts the Liquid Glass design on *OS 26.
  • App Intents: New support for automation with Shortcuts.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Define custom key combinations (such as Ctrl+Alt+Del) that can be sent to the VM from the new Keyboard menu.
  • Improved Wizard: Simplify the creation of emulated machines by selecting from a list of well-supported configurations. The updated wizard can create more working configurations such as RISC-V64 Ubuntu, classic Mac OS 8.x/9.x, and Windows 95/98.
Changes (v4.7.5)

  • Wizard: New template to create classic Mac OS VMs for M68K and PPC (#3504, #6890)
  • Wizard: Most common and supported machines for emulation are now listed prominently with the full list of supported QEMU architectures/targets hidden behind an "Expert" mode. This is necessary because most of the QEMU targets are not properly supported by the wizard anyways and does not generate a bootable config. They usually require a lot more manual tinkering. The page order of the wizard is also tweaked so the hardware config comes before the boot config now.
  • Localization: Updated Chinese (Hong Kong, Simplified) (thanks @changanmoon)
  • (iOS SE) Fixed a crash when launching ArchLinux due to mis-handling of REV32
  • (iOS SE) Fixed a crash when the first instruction executed is a goto
  • (iOS SE) Removed ARM32, RISC-V32, and added M68K. There is little use for ARM32 and RISC-V32 as they cannot boot anything useful that cannot also be booted by the 64-bit variant (which is still included). If you have a counter example of this, please open an issue on GitHub and we can consider re-adding it back in the future. However, removing these will make the app size a lot smaller. M68K is added to support classic Mac OS.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Create custom combinations of keyboard shortcuts from either Settings -> Input or via the Keyboard icon in the VM (press and hold on iOS/visionOS). This will allow you to easily send key commands such as Ctrl+Alt+Del or Stop+A to the VM. (#5698, #6310, #6757)
  • Wizard: New option to import an existing drive image when setting up a Linux VM. This allows Ubuntu for RISC-V64 to work out of the box. (#7183)
  • Wizard: New option to create a serial port only Linux VM. This allows Ubuntu for RISC-V64 to work out of the box. (#7183)
  • Wizard: Removed VHDX import option because Microsoft now provides ARM64 ISO images. Note: You can still create manually import an VHDX after creating a new VM.
  • Wizard: New template to create classic Mac OS VMs for M68K and PPC (#3504, #6890)
  • Wizard: Most common and supported machines for emulation are now listed prominently with the full list of supported QEMU architectures/targets hidden behind an "Expert" mode. This is necessary because most of the QEMU targets are not properly supported by the wizard anyways and does not generate a bootable config. They usually require a lot more manual tinkering. The page order of the wizard is also tweaked so the hardware config comes before the boot config now.
  • Localization: Updated Chinese (Hong Kong, Simplified) (thanks @changanmoon)
  • (iOS SE) Fixed a crash when launching ArchLinux due to mis-handling of REV32
  • (iOS SE) Fixed a crash when the first instruction executed is a goto
  • (iOS SE) Removed ARM32, RISC-V32, and added M68K. There is little use for ARM32 and RISC-V32 as they cannot boot anything useful that cannot also be booted by the 64-bit variant (which is still included). If you have a counter example of this, please open an issue on GitHub and we can consider re-adding it back in the future. However, removing these will make the app size a lot smaller. M68K is added to support classic Mac OS.
  • (macOS 11) Fixed guest tools mounting (#7297)
  • (macOS 11) Fixed stop button not working (#7298)
  • (macOS) Fixed a bug where an error message on startup leads to the window being stuck (#7161)
  • (macOS) Settings: New setting to disable file locking so VMs can be launched from a network share or a filesystem that does not support locking (#7211)
  • (macOS) Settings: New setting to disable screenshots completely for privacy reasons (#6620)
  • (macOS) Settings: New setting to swap Ctrl and Cmd keys in VMs (#4003)
  • (macOS 26) Settings: Brand new layout with a sidebar to match other native apps
  • (macOS) AVF: Added clearer message when trying to install macOS beta without having the latest beta support tools installed
  • (macOS) AVF: New option to resize (expand) disk images (#6891)
  • (macOS 26) Fixed a layout issue with the resize image popover
  • (macOS) Home: Fixed hide sidebar button
  • (macOS) Config: Show localized network adapter names when available (#7287) (thanks @Schamper)
  • (macOS) Scripting: Fixed an issue where wrong UUIDs were generated for display configs (#7145)
Changes (v4.7.0)
  • Updated to QEMU v10.0.2
  • Config: In the RAM slider, the maximum value has been increased to 64GiB (note that you can always go above the slider limit by typing in the text box) (#7234)
  • Localization: Updated Chinese (Hong Kong, Simplified) (thanks @changanmoon)
  • Wizard: Fixed crash when VM name is empty (#7245)
  • (iOS) Toolbar: Refactored toolbar button layout code
  • (macOS) Host only networks: you can set up multiple host-only networks (including ones shared by VMware) and have multiple VMs on the same virtual network (thanks @Schamper)
  • (macOS) utmctl: added option to boot Apple VMs into recovery mode (thanks @cees-elzinga)
  • (macOS) Enable QEMU support for vmapple (#7150) Machine model is removed for stability reasons but apple-gfx-pci is still supported for Intel VMs

How v4.7.2 went
v4.7.1Pre-release

v4.7.1 (Beta)

Highlights
  • QEMU v10.0.2: The backend has been updated to the latest upstream QEMU which brings with it a variety of bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • Liquid Glass: UTM adopts the Liquid Glass design on *OS 26.
  • App Intents: New support for automation with Shortcuts.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Define custom key combinations (such as Ctrl+Alt+Del) that can be sent to the VM from the new Keyboard menu.
  • Improved Wizard: Simplify the creation of emulated machines by selecting from a list of well-supported configurations. The updated wizard can create more working configurations such as RISC-V64 Ubuntu and classic Mac OS 8.x/9.x.
Notes
  • (iOS) iOS 26 breaks the technique that AltJIT and similar tools use to enable JIT.
