VMware Fusion 1.1.3 is now available and addresses six issues and incorporates the changes from VMware Fusion 1.1.2 that added support for the MacBook Air, support for Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp partitions, and enabled Time Machine backups.

VMware Fusion 1.1.3 addresses the following six issues:

• Boot Camp activation now works with Windows Vista SP1 Boot Camp partitions.

• VMware Fusion 1.1.3 again allows users to enable unbuffered I/O, otherwise known as Optimize for Mac OS application performance, on Mac OS X 10.5.3 now that Apple has addressed a previously hang under heavy disk load when unbuffered I/O is in use.

• Fixes problem where Sound would not work for VMs created with other VMware products including VMware Converter and VMware Workstation.

• Fixes a problem in VMware Fusion 1.1.2 that caused Shared Folder mounting failures in Linux guest operating systems.

• Fixes a problem where VMware Fusion did not distinguish between Traditional and Simplified Chinese so that if your system language preference was set to either Chinese version, Fusion would always present the Simplified Chinese interface. In VMware Fusion 1.1.3, this has been resolved and Simplified Chinese is only displayed on systems set to Simplified Chinese by default.

• Updates the Simplified Chinese on-line help.

VMware Fusion 1.1.3 update is a FREE update for all existing VMware Fusion customers and the 1.1.3 update includes English, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese language support.
