Hi folks,
I am delighted to announce that vSphere Client SDK 6.7 is GA. You can access it from:
- https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/67/client for the vSphere Client SDK (HTML-only)
- https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/67/web-client for the vSphere Web Client SDK (Flex, Flex+HTML)
Some highlights:
- vSphere Web Client SDK is deprecated and 6.7 is its terminal release. The relevant APIs are still supported in this release but will not be extended and will be removed in the future. Use this if you need to build a plugin that supports both Clients or old Client versions.
- vSphere Client SDK contains new Javascript APIs (tech-previewed in the Fling). For now they support versions 6.7 and above (stay tuned for updates on this). The old Bridge APIs are deprecated but maintained for backward compatibility. See the documentation for more details on the new API.
- Many extension points have been deprecated to streamline recommended plugin integration within the Client. See the list of extension points for more details.
- A single html-sample plugin has been introduced to showcase the most common use cases, UX recommendations and API usage.
- Programming guide is rewritten as a single source of truth focusing on vSphere Client (HTML), clarity of setup steps and available APIs/extensibility.
There is a lot more in vSphere 6.7 so just try it out!
As always - your feedback is greatly appreciated! 🙂
Cheers,
Vladimir
