A short summary of the changes:

- Attempt to notify the host that a backup manifest is available on every completed snapshot. Previously vmtoolsd attempted to detect whether the host was running an older version of ESX that did not support receiving a backup manifest, which occasionally resulted in it erroneously identifying a host as an older host.
- Provide more informative logging messages when a backup manifest notification is refused by the host.
- Abort quiesced snapshot operations promptly after detecting that the host has aborted its side of the operation. Previously vmtools would continue until it hit its own internal timeout.
- Don’t try to notify the host that a backup manifest is available when the quiesced snapshot is aborted.

We suggest to have these changes integrated into the 10.3.5 package.
