- Update to 12.2.0 (build 21223074) (boo#1209128)
- 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. Pull request #626
- FreeBSD: Support newer releases and code clean-up for earlier versions.
Pull request #584

- Add containerInfo plugin (jsc-PED-1344)
- Add dependencies on grpc, protobuf, and containerd for container introspection
- Add _service to handle open-vm-tools sources
- Update to 12.1.5 (build 20735119)
- A number of Coverity reported issues have been addressed.
- The deployPkg plugin may prematurely reboot the guest VM before cloud-init
has completed user data setup. If both the Perl based Linux customization
script and cloud-init run when the guest VM boots, the deployPkg plugin
may reboot the guest before cloud-init has finished. The deployPkg
plugin has been updated to wait for a running cloud-init process to
finish before the guest VM reboot is initiated. This issue is fixed in
this release.
- A SIGSEGV may be encountered when a non-quiesing snapshot times out.
This issue is fixed in this release.
- Unwanted vmtoolsd service error message if not on a VMware hypervisor.
When open-vm-tools comes preinstalled in a base Linux release, the vmtoolsd
services are started automatically at system start and desktop login.
If running on physical hardware or in a non-VMware hypervisor, the services
will emit an error message to the Systemd's logging service before stopping.
This issue is fixed in this release.
