* Wed Sep 21 2011 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 8.8.0 (Stable series):
+ This release of open-vm-tools matches the VMware Tools package
released with Workstation 8.0 and Fusion 4.0.
It's targeted at desktop users who want the latest features in
(VMware's) Unity, HGFS and drag & drop support.
- Add open-vm-tools-vmxnet+kernel-3.0.patch: HAVE_NETDEV_PRIV is
gone in kernel 3.0 and netdev_priv is in kernel since 2.6.6.
- use set_permissions instead of run_permissions on 11.4+
* Thu Jul 21 2011 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2011.07.19:
+ Fix an issue in the HGFS driver that could lead to a kernel
panic.
+ Update some code to support new compiler and kernel versions.
+ Minor bug fixes and code cleanup.
- Changes from version 2011.06.27:
+ A few enhancements to Unity: XFCE support, better interaction
with "the other" (Ubuntu's) Unity and compositing window
managers, better X error handling, and a few bug fixes.
+ few bug fixes in HGFS, and minor bug fixes in other components.
+ Otherwise, mostly code cleanup.
* Thu Jun 02 2011 prusnak@opensuse.org
- updated to 2011.05.27:
+ Mostly cleanups and a few bug fixes.
- fixes [bnc#673267] [bnc#690491]
* Tue May 31 2011 prusnak@opensuse.org
- use -Wno-unused-but-set in optflags so it will not fail build
while using -Werror
* Wed May 25 2011 prusnak@opensuse.org
- added check in initscript whether VMTOOLSUSER_BIN exists
* Fri Apr 29 2011 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Udpate to version 2011.04.25:
+ Mostly cleanups and small bug fixes in this release.
+ Logging is enabled by default in vmtoolsd, writing to syslog.
The default log level is not chatty, so few messages should
make it to syslog during normal operation.
+ The GUI version of the toolbox was removed.
* Wed Apr 27 2011 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Extend the init script to detect the name of the balloon driver,
which changed several times in the kernel.
* Thu Apr 14 2011 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to 2011.03.28:
+ HGFS mounter and vmusr's suid wrapper were changed to avoid
issues with symlink attacks. A new mount utility for vmblock on
Solaris and FreeBSD was added.
+ The VMCI driver was thoroughly reworked so that it can serve as
both the host and guest VMCI driver. This is mostly targeted at
supporting nested VMs.
+ vmusr got better integration with X's session manager,
including proper cleanup during session teardown.
+ Unity has been enhanced to better handle some desktop
environments.
+ Many small bug fixes in other areas, including updates for
newer Linux kernels.

+ Some copy & paste issues with KDE were fixed.
+ Mostly cleanups and bug fixes, with a few build enhancements.
- Changes from 2011.01.24:
+ Mostly cleanups and bug fixes.
+ Install code fixed to handle translation catalogs correctly.
- No longer care for missing modules on openSUSE 11.2. It is EOL in
a few weeks. As a consequence, remove the sources (they are in
current kernels):
+ pvscsi.tar.bz2
+ vmxnet3.tar.bz2
+ vmemctl.tar.bz2
- Fix some lint warnings: obsolete only <, not <=, Add PreReq:
permissions to the -gui package.

yet merged into the main kernel.
* Wed Dec 22 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Update to version 2010.12.19:

of the new DnD protocol is not available yet in VMware
products, though.
+ vmtoolsd gets some new functionality to support new features
being developed internally.
+ vmxnet driver for FreeBSD fixed to allow changing the MAC
address.
+ lots of bug fixes and other cleanups in various areas.
- Re-enable building of X dependenices (with_X 1)
- Disable unity on openSUSE < 11.4. It requires glib >= 2.24.
* Thu Nov 25 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Re-Inject pvscsi for older kernel builds.
* Mon Nov 22 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org

* Mon May 31 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Better logic to easily disable modules that got inlcluded in the
Linux Kernel, for bnc#605085.
* Thu Apr 22 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Re-introduce vmxnet3 on openSUSE <= 11.2. Up to then we have
kernel 2.26.31, which does not bring the vmxnet3 driver yet.
The driver itself is the last one shipped with open-vm-tools,
version 2009.12.16.
* Wed Apr 21 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Send SIGUSR1 to vmware-user process when the services are being
stopped. This possibly solves bnc#544400.
* Wed Apr 07 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Add open-vm-tools-libpng14.patch to fix build with libpng 1.4.

+ Updates in Linux kernel modules for compatibility with newer
kernels.
+ New functionality in the Unity support code.
* Tue Mar 23 2010 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Disabled vmxnet3 building. this only did not give an error anyhow
as there was a typo, thus having the module already disabled for
quite some time.

kernels < 2.6.9.

(in case the script is not found, do not scare the user)
* Tue Jul 21 2009 prusnak@suse.cz
- added || : to modprobe -r and umount calls in vmtoolsd [bnc#523342]
* Fri Jun 19 2009 dominique-obs@leuenberger.net
- Updated to 2009.06.18
* Mostly a bug fix release.
* vmhgfs now is able to use vsock as a transport (although
backend support for HGFS over vsock is not yet released in
VMware products).
- Removed patch open-vm-tools-wiperPosix.patch. An alternative
solution was integrated upstream
- Dropped patch open-vm-tools-rpath.patch: merged upstream
* Sat May 23 2009 dominique-obs@leuenberger.net
- Updated to 2009.05.22
* Mostly a cleanup and bug fix release.
* Fix a build issue where a symlink attack could cause the
open-vm-tools build to overwrite data (by placing a symlink in
/tmp).
* Second (and last?) batch of changes to clean up duplicate files
in the source tree, including Solaris and FreeBSD kernel
modules andother module-specific shared files.
* Plugins now are properly built using plugins_LTLIBRARIES so
that "-rpath" doesn't need to be used (this would cause an
RPATH entry to be added to the final binary, which some tools
didn't like).
* open-vm-tools now properly detects PAM and enables PAM support
in the code.
- Removed -rpath.patch. Variation of it integrated upstream
- Added patch to consume (-wiperPosix.patch) the result of fgets
- BuildRequires pam-devel
- The pam miss-naming on x86_64 has been fixed upstream
- Add a new -rpath patch. Not everything is solved upstream.
- Delete arch dependent files from /usr/share (not yet needed)
* Sat Apr 25 2009 dominique.leuenberger@tmf-group.com
- Upgrade to snapshot 2009.04.23
* Implemented copy & paste support for RTF data and file contents.
* guestd has been removed from open-vm-tools; vmtoolsd is now the only
option for the main tools service.
* Added vmblock and vmmemctl modules for Solaris (under the CDDL).
* vmware-user can now work with both vmblock-fuse and vmblock.
* Linux HGFS now has a stream-based (TCP, vsock) transport, still under
development.
* First batch of changes to cleanup duplicated files in the source tree.
Most duplicated files in the Linux kernel modules have been cleaned up.
- Extensive rewrite of the spec file:
* make use of the now upstream provided make install
* configure --no-root-privileges, to not install mount.vmhgfs as suid
- Add patch open-vm-tools-2009.04.23-rpath.diff: removes the rpath logic
which was introduced for the vmusr and vmsvc plugins. libtools is broken
in this respect. (patch submitted upstream for review)
- Extend preun section with service rename (vmware-guest -> vmtoolsd)
(patch provided by prusnak)
- forcibly activate vmtoolsd service also on update.
- fix up the KMP rename: for this to work we need to provide / obsolete
vmware-kmp and vmware-kmp-<kernelflavor>; otherwise, zypper starts pulling
in other kernels.
* Fri Mar 20 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- rename vmware-KMP to vmware-guest-KMP for easier identification
of the use and to avoid confusion (users installing the KMP on the
vmware hosts) (bnc#481137)
- create subpackage libvmtools0
* Thu Mar 19 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Upgrade to snapshot 2009.03.18
* Mostly a bug fix release.
* The new DnD V3 protocol is now available in open-vm-tools.
* vmtoolsd is now preferred instead of vmware-guestd
- vmware-guestd will most probably be completely removed in the next release.
- > vmtoolsd is not yet standard enabled in openSUSE packages.
- Obsolete merged patches vmxnet and vmxnet3.patch.
* Mon Mar 09 2009 mmarek@suse.cz
- renamed modprobe config to /etc/modprobe.d/50-vmnics.conf
(required by new module-init-tools).
