This is to announce that open-vm-tools 11.1.5 has been GA released.
See https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-11.1.5
In addition to containing the SDMP plugin fixes made available in the "stable-11.1.0-SDMP-fixes" branch, the release also addresses several issues reported by the Coverity tool and issues reported to https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues |
[Impact]
* In the past a lack of updated open-vm-tools versions was found fatal
and therefore we agreed to regularly backport those to the latest LTS.
This is backporting the recent version 11.5 to Focal.
[Test Case]
* Test open-vm-tools done by VMWare QA Team as agreed for these
backports.
[Regression Potential]
* This has the usual regression potential of a new version upgrade and
therefore is higher than a usual SRU. But as agreed int he past to
support new (virtual) hardware open-vm-tools shall regularly be
backported. I suggest keeping it somewhat longer in proposed than usual
just to be on the safe side.
[Other Info]
* This is a practice for or quite a while (almost two years now), see:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1784638

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1877672
The request back then came from the community and the decision back then was between VMWare and Ubuntu. VMWare QA Team since then does the qualification of these uploads as we (I) don't have a matrix of Host versions for that around.
Also see https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-11.1.5
Under the accepted special SRU cases [1] this qualifies for #2 and #3 of [2].
