What's new in this version:
- This update of VMware Workstation Player exposes hardware support for branch target injection mitigation to VMware guests. This hardware is used by some guest operating systems to mitigate CVE-2018-5715 (also called by the name "Spectre")
For a guest operating system to use hardware support for branch target injection mitigation, the following steps must be taken:
- Install this update of VMware Workstation Player
- Ensure that your VM is using Hardware Version 9 or higher. For best performance, Hardware Version 11 or higher is recommended
- Update your guest operating system with fixes for CVE-2018-5715 (consult the operating system vendor for these updates)
- Update the host firmware (or CPU microcode, if host firmware cannot be updated)

What's new in this version:
Virtual Hardware Platform 14:
Workstation 14 Pro builds from the newest vSphere Virtual Hardware Platform, now at version 14, and with it delivers new features such as support for:
- Microsoft Device Guard and Credential Guard “Virtualization Based Security” feature support for Windows 10 Guests (Guests only at this time)
- A new Virtual NVMe device for faster disk access on SSD storage and a requirement for vSAN testing
- UEFI Secure Boot, required for VBS and supported with ESXi 6.5 Virtual Guests.
- A new Virtual Trusted Platform Module which is used to manage keys for guest encryption services such as BitLocker.
- Support for the latest Intel Kabylake and AMD Ryzen CPUs
Workstation Pro: The Master of Local Desktop Virtualization:
- Workstation 14 Pro adds upon this with new Virtual Network Simulation features. We’ve had Network Packet Loss and Bandwidth before, but we have now added Network Latency to the mix, configurable for both Incoming and Outgoing traffic for each virtual network adapter. This feature makes it easy to test the resiliency of your applications under harsh network conditions.
- Workstation 14 Pro also allows users to stay organized with custom network renaming.
- We’ve of course also added support for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, known also as build 1709 or ‘Redstone 3’, which includes Windows Server 2016, as both Host and Guest. On the Linux side we have added support for Ubuntu 17.04 LTS, and Fedora 26 as both Host and Guest.
Seamless vCenter Deploy:
- For users looking to test the vCenter Server Appliance, Workstation Pro now provides a guided wizard to make the deployment effortless
New Remote Controls:
- When connected to vSphere, users can now control Power operations for ESXi hosts. Power them off, Reboot them or bring them in or out of Maintenance mode right from Workstation Pro.
The Essential Virtualization Tool:
- All this and numerous bug fixes, small enhancements, and performance gains leveraging newer CPU hardware features for virtualization are what continue to make Workstation Pro the essential tool for IT professionals, and Workstation Player the ideal solution for secure virtual desktops

What's new in this version:
- I have built a version of Vim 8.0 with all the latest patches. This is mainly interesting for MS-Windows users who download the binary. Upgrading to this version is recommended, since it fixes many problems.
- I have renamed the original Vim 8.0 files to include the patchlevel. The new files are both available as "80" and "80-586". Note that caching may cause the "80" file to still be the old one.
