See below for more details:
VMware Fusion 1.1.2 addresses two MacBook Air related problems. Previously, MacBook Air users would encounter a crash if a virtual CD/DVD drive was connected to the virtual machine but a CD/DVD drive was not connected to the MacBook Air. The latest VMware Fusion update also adds the ability to burn CD/DVDs with the MacBook Air’s USB Superdrive.
Prior versions of VMware Fusion automatically excluded virtual machines from Time Machine backups to avoid hitting a Mac OS X related crash when backing up virtual machines that were in use. Apple has addressed this issue in Mac OS X 10.5.2 and VMware Fusion 1.1.2 enables Time Machine to backup virtual machines on Mac OS X 10.5.2 and later. NOTE: Since virtual machines can be large, you may want to consider manually excluding certain virtual machines from backup in Time Machine’s preference pane.
With Windows XP Service Pack 3 arriving on April 29th, VMware Fusion now supports Windows XP Service Pack 3 Boot Camp partitions when they are run as virtual machines.
Finally, VMware Fusion 1.1.2 addresses the problem with wireless bridged networking in some cases not being able to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
Other bug fixes include:
* Properly disconnect USB devices connected to the virtual machine when shut down, making the USB devices available again to the Mac.
* Fixes a sound problem where only the default speaker worked in some cases.
* Pressing the newly introduced keys on the new slim Apple Aluminum Keyboard caused VMware Fusion to crash in certain circumstances, this has now been fixed.
* VMware Fusion’s keyboard shortcuts to remap common Windows commands to Mac keyboard equivalents could not be disabled previously in Full Screen or Single Window views
* In some cases, VMware Fusion, after being upgraded to Version 1.1.1, would fail with a Signal 10 error when the user tried to use the keyboard. This problem has been fixed.
We hope you find VMware Fusion 1.1.2 helpful and as always let us know if you encounter any issues.
