Software-update: VMware Workstation Player 15.0.0 build 10134415

VMware heeft versie 15 Workstation Player uitgebracht. Player is gratis software waarmee virtuele machines kunnen worden gemaakt en gedraaid. Voor commercieel gebruik wordt echter wel een vergoeding gevraagd. Het is simpel gezegd een vereenvoudigde uitvoering van andere VMware-producten, zoals Workstation Pro, Server en ESX Server. Ook de virtual machines van Microsoft Virtual PC en Symantec LiveState Recovery-disks worden ondersteund. Daarnaast kunnen verschillende voorgeïnstalleerde virtual machines via deze pagina worden binnengehaald, zoals Debian, Ubuntu en Fedora. Versie 15 voegt onder meer ondersteuning toe voor diverse nieuwe gastsystemen.

New Guest operating systems support
The following support is new in Workstation 15 Player:

• Windows 10 1803
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Fedora 28
• RHEL 7.5
• CentOS 7.5
• Debian 9.5
• OpenSuse Leap 15.0
• FreeBSD 11.2
• ESXi 6.7

DirectX 10.1
DirectX 10.1 is an incremental update over DirectX 10.0. It provides higher visual quality through the support of multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA). DirectX 10.1 also supports Shader Model 4.1 and Cubemap Array.

Hardware version 16

• DirectX 10.1 support
• Graphics memory up to 3GB

REST API
You can use Workstation RESTful API to automate common virtual machine tasks using standard JSON over HTTP or HTTPS. The following virtual machine operations are supported:

• Virtual machine inventory management
• Virtual machine power management
• Networking management

VCSA 6.7 support
With Workstation 15 Player, you can import and run VCSA 6.7 (vCenter Server Appliance) in VMware Workstation 15 Player.

USB Auto connect to virtual machine
USB devices can automatically connect to a powered on virtual machine when you configure Workstation 15 Pro to remember the connection rule. This is a Windows host only feature.

High DPI support
High DPI related features require that the operating system of the host and virtual machine be Windows 10 version 1703 or later.

• Host level high DPI support - The Workstation interface auto detects the host level DPI change and auto adjusts the layout to meet the new DPI.
• Guest DPI synch with host - When there is a DPI change on the host side, the guest operating system adjusts its DPI to match the host DPI. VMware Tools 10.3.2 is required for this feature.

Known Issues

• On a Linux host, when the setting that records file and application usage is disabled, opening a virtual machine with VMware Workstation Player does not succeed.
  For example, on Ubuntu 18.04, the setting is Settings > Privacy > Usage & History. For an older version of Ubuntu, such as 16.04, the setting is System Settings > Security & Privacy > File and Applications.
  Workaround: Enable the setting that records file and application usage.
