Here is the statement that can be found on BBW's main page:

Right now the company is on hold and we are not planing to do any updates on Injoy Firewall and Apache Open Office fo now. If we resume them in the future is uncertain, but as always everything is possible. We will still provide some updates to our mmany ports we did. But most probably not in this mass and quantity. As this went to when time permits. We are sorry we had to go this route, but it' like it is.

Hello

To disable Valery's Addons it just to REM those out of the config.sys.

Here it is the link of the older release just in case.
- https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.2.4/VBoxGuestAdditions_7.2.4.iso

To install the Official VBOX addons, just take care to do not copy or replace some libc .dll that we already have in ArcaOS.
To do not confuse things, don't copy the Official Addons it on the same folder of Valery's Addons.

Applications / Apache OpenOffice port updates?
« Last post by St3gm4 on February 13, 2026, 06:14:02 pm »
Apache OpenOffice released a new version 4.1.16, for security and bug fixes. Will the AOO port continue to be supported for future updates as well?

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.16+Release+Notes

I understand that the priority will be the browser port.. just want to ask if the AOO port will still be supported for future updates by Bitwise?

https://www.bitwiseworks.com/products/ports.php

Also, I realized that they removed the application from their store. What happened?

Thank you Martin.
Can you tell -in case I'll try the GA 7.2.4 version-  if a proper uninstall job of the previuous installed (Valery's GA) must be applied ?  That is because I remember that it took a bit of manual installing work .

Hello Mauro

1) Windows dragging. On my VM I still have something similar to your video.

2) About the "dirty tracks". I remember I used to have that long time ago. I think it got resolved by using a newer GENGRADD from the VirtualBox Addons.

Just as a personal note, I stopped using "Valery's GA 5.0.51 r218" when the official VBox starting shipping the VBox OS/2 Addons with WPS support for shared folders. But at this moment I recommend only version 7.2.4 and not upgrading the addons to 7.2.6.

Just in case, ArcaOS 5.1.1 comes with VBOX Addons and does an specific install procedure that had saved me time and works fine. 

Regards

Hi, sorry if non joining Martin's topic talking about some Guest Additions weirdness in the latest VB version, I think not completely fitting for as follows:

-have Virtualbox 7.1.4 on Windows 11
-2 guest VM consisting in OS2 Warp 4.52 and ArcaOS 5.0
-both with Valery's GA 5.0.51 r218 , found best working years ago compared with te official Virtualbox ones, never tried other GA from there.

Have two things which could be improved.

1- ArcaOS 5.0 windows dragging shows annoying moving wake (video attached)
2- both VM leave "dirty tracks" when pointer touches upper or lower menu bar (image attached)

Do you think it could be caused by Guest Additions, or maybe video driver?

Thank you

Martin,

  I can confirm those 2 issues you mention happen here too. Gotta go back to 7.2.4.

Using windows7, I had to back on virtualbox to the latest where all works:  7.0.22r165102 (taken from virtualbox archive - older build)
(I know, now win11 only is supported  ;D )
