There must be more to the patch than the Retina support...
I was just wondering if there was a complete change log of fixes available.
After I upgraded from Parallels 6 to Parallels 7 I had issues with Parallels not being able to register from within the application and issues with Parallels performing any in-app downloads. The Windows 8 Preview files are an example of this and ironically, the same "Unknown Error" occurred when attempting to submit the problem report.
I was in a long back and forth with "Technical Support Engineers" via e-mail that seemed to be getting no where. It had become apparent from the Parallels System Log that the HTTP requests were failing within Parallels. I confirmed this by performing a packet capture and noticed that after the DNS query, no traffic left the application before or after the error message.
Anyway, to make a long story short, before installing Build 7.0.15098, I attempted to register and download the win8 files again - it failed. So I updated, and now it all works.
I am very happy that the issue was resolved - however, I still want to know what happened. So the single bit about retina support in a 300+ MB patch left me wanting.
In any case, thank you for the update!
I am once again a happy Parallels customer.
Cheers.
Greg
