Will there be any substantial changes to the next edition of the Virtual Machine?

Hi Sharon,

Short answer: no.

The upcoming version of the Virtual Machine (which will be called the 2016 SEA VM) will only differ from the 2015 SEA VM in the following ways:
  1. Ubuntu system software will be updated to ensure the latest security patches are incorporated.
  2. Consed will be updated to the latest version.
The 2015 SEA VM only differed from the 2014 SEA VM in that it had Starterator installed by default.

If you only plan on using Phamerator, and already have the 2014 or 2015 VM installed, you'll be fine. If you're starting from scratch, you might as well get the most updated version, the 2016 SEA VM. I'll post a link to it here when it's ready for download!
