Changes: open-vm-tools 2009.10.13 changes: * The vmxnet3 Linux kernel module has been added. This module provides better network performance for the guest. The corresponding virtual hardware is available beginning with Workstation 6.5, though performance benefits are unlikely to be realized until a later VMware product release. The module should work for all kernels beginning with 2.6. * The open-vm-tools no longer depend on libproc-dev. Several people reported this issue (Sourceforge bug 1960947). * Added a command line argument to skip privileged operations during make install (--without-root-privileges). * Guestd now supports backwards time synchronization, though the corresponding hypervisor-side changes are not yet part of any shipping VMware products. * Assortment of bug fixes.
