VMware Player 4.0.0



# Installation Changes and Enhanced Keyboards
* The hardware requirements to install this version of Workstation have changed. Workstation now requires a relatively modern 64-bit CPU.
# Virtual Hardware Improvements
* The display technology has been changed to provide a better experience for Unity users and users who have multiple monitors. These changes also allow you to add a projector to your laptop without restarting your virtual machine.
* Virtual machines can now support up to 64GB of memory. The host system should have more than 64GB of memory to use this feature.
* An HD Audio device is available for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2008, and Windows 2008 R2 guests. The HD Audio device is compatible with the RealTek ALC888 7.1 Channel High Definition Audio Codec.
* USB 3.0 support is available for Linux guests running kernel version 2.6.35 or later (Ubuntu 10.10) through a new virtual xHCI USB controller. To enable this feature, add the following line to the .vmx file: usb_xhci.present = “true”. Do not enable this feature for Windows guests. Because Windows does not currently have a generic xHCI driver, this feature will not work in Windows.
* Bluetooth devices on the host can now be shared with Windows guests. With the latest hardware version, Bluetooth devices that are paired to the host system radio are available to Windows guests and can be paired from within the guest. You should not pair Bluetooth audio devices, such as headphones, or Bluetooth input devices, such as keyboards and mice, to a guest.
# Documentation Changes

- Now contains complete information on installing and using Player.
* Online help
- Has been redesigned to provide context-sensitive help and information on performing common tasks. For complete information on using Workstation and Player, see the guides.

VMware Player 5.0.1



What's New

This release of VMware Player adds the following new features and support:
 · Support for Ubuntu 12.10 as a host and guest has been added to Player 5.0.1
 · Solaris 11 has been added to guest OS list.


Resolved Issues

The following issues are resolved in VMware Player 5.0.1:
 · When powering on a virtual machine with Binary Translation on a SMEP-capable CPU, Player no longer causes the host to reset. If you run Windows 8 hosts on IvyBridge processors, VMware strongly recommends that you update your installation of Player.
 · Several security vulnerabilities have been addressed, including updating third party libraries.
 · For host systems with more than 4GB of memory, Player will use more of the available memory to run virtual machines.
 · The ability to mount a .vmdk file as a drive by right-clicking the file in File Explorer has been restored.
 · Occasionally, certain elements in the Windows 8 user interface were incorrectly displayed. This has been fixed.
 · After disconnecting certain USB devices from a virtual machine, Player would prevent devices from being reconnected without restarting the virtual machine. A more comprehensive error handling code has been added to prevent this problem from occurring.
 · To improve application startup performance, the data being collected as part of the optional User Experience Improvement Program will no longer be aggregated on every launch of Player.
 · Easy Install on the Linux version of Player now recognize all compatible operating systems.
 · The VMware monitor has been updated to work with Linux kernel 3.5.
 · Animated cursors are now displayed correctly in a virtual machine.

# Resolved Issues
* Download All Components Now button not working.
- When you navigate to Player > File > Player Preferences and click the Download All Components Now button, the button does not work as intended.
* Workstation or Player on Windows freezes if another application is frozen.
- What's going on: Workstation or Player incorrectly attempts to communicate with the frozen application and is stuck waiting for it to respond.
* Virtual machine hangs while powering off
- Rarely, virtual machines will cease functioning (hang) while powering off, particularly if the guest OS was in the middle of a BSOD or kernel panic.
* Easy Install does not recognize RTM builds of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 disc
- In the new virtual machine wizard, when you select a disc or ISO of the RTM build of Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2, the image is not recognized. Easy Install does not work with the RTM builds of those operating systems.
