Description John Wolfe 2023-03-10 02:15:10 UTC
open-vm-tools 12.2.0 was released on Mar 7, 2023.

There are no new features in the open-vm-tools 12.2.0 release. This is primarily a maintenance release that addresses a few critical problems, including:

  *  Linux quiesced snapshots have been updated to avoid intermittent hangs of the vmtoolsd process.

  *  Updated the guestOps to handle some edge cases when File_GetSize() fails or returns -1.

  *  A number of Coverity reported issues have been addressed.

  *  Detect the proto files for the containerd grpc client in alternate locations.
