The network script has been updated to: use vmware-toolbox-cmd to query any network logging configuration from the tools.conf file. Use vmtoolsd --cmd \"log ...\" to log a message to the vmx logfile when the logging handler is configured to \"vmx\" or when the logfile is full or is not writeable. - The hgfsmounter (mount.vmhgfs) command has been removed from open-vm-tools.

* make use of the now upstream provided make install
* configure --no-root-privileges, to not install mount.vmhgfs as suid- Add patch open-vm-tools-2009.04.23-rpath.diff: removes the rpath logic which was introduced for the vmusr and vmsvc plugins. libtools is broken in this respect. (patch submitted upstream for review)- Extend preun section with service rename (vmware-guest -> vmtoolsd) (patch provided by prusnak)- forcibly activate vmtoolsd service also on update.- fix up the KMP rename: for this to work we need to provide / obsolete vmware-kmp and vmware-kmp-; otherwise, zypper starts pulling in other kernels.
* Fri Mar 20 2009 dominiqueAATTleuenberger.net- rename vmware-KMP to vmware-guest-KMP for easier identification of the use and to avoid confusion (users installing the KMP on the vmware hosts) (bnc#481137)- create subpackage libvmtools0
* Thu Mar 19 2009 dominiqueAATTleuenberger.net- Upgrade to snapshot 2009.03.18
* Mostly a bug fix release.
* The new DnD V3 protocol is now available in open-vm-tools.
* vmtoolsd is now preferred instead of vmware-guestd - vmware-guestd will most probably be completely removed in the next release. - > vmtoolsd is not yet standard enabled in openSUSE packages.- Obsolete merged patches vmxnet and vmxnet3.patch.
* Mon Mar 09 2009 mmarekAATTsuse.cz- renamed modprobe config to /etc/modprobe.d/50-vmnics.conf (required by new module-init-tools).
