It's still during Christmas/New Year holiday, and Parallels, Inc. released third Beta for Parallels Desktop for Mac (Build 3106) on Friday, just 8 days after the release of second Beta.

New features (over second Beta released on 21st December) are:

• Coherence now handles “round” windows like Windows Media Player or Winamp correctly.
  
• Fullscreen and Coherence mode on secondary monitor fixed.
  
• Guest pixel size calculation was fixed – applications like MS Access or MS PowerPoint should handle graphs correctly.
  
• Guest Linux screen resolutions in 24 bit mode fixed.
  
• Possiblity to switch off Command+ZXCV mapping or swap Control and Command keys introduced (the feature was requested by a number of beta-testers)
  
• Several USB 2.0 fixes – more bulk devices to work since now. The work on web cameras and other isochronous devices is still in progress.
  
• Parallels Transporter Beta3 (with support of converting VMware and Virtual PC virtual hard disks to Parallels virtual machines)
