Package: open-vm-tools
Version: 2:13.0.10

open-vm-tools 13.0.10 was released on Jan 20, 2026 - based on build 25056151

There are no new features in the open-vm-tools 13.0.10 release.  This is
primarily a maintenance release that addresses a fix.

A minor enhancement has been made for Guest OS Customization.  The
DeployPkg plugin has been updated to handle a new cloud-init error code
that signals a recoverable error and allow cloud-init to finish running

Starting with cloud-init version 23.4, an error code was introduced to
signal a recoverable error. open-vm-tools interprets this error code as a
cloud-init execution failure, so continues executing guest customization
with a VM reboot in the end.

This issue is resolved in this release.  During Linux guest customization,
open-vm-tools now correctly waits for cloud-init execution to complete,
even when cloud-init encounters recoverable errors.  This addresses
open-vm-tools issue #768 (https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/768)
- Make GetCloudinitStatus() more robust.
