Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce the release of the Vagrant VMware Desktop 
plugin. This plugin supports VMware Workstation on Windows and Linux 
platforms, and VMware Fusion on macOS. It is the unification of the 
existing Vagrant VMware Workstation plugin and the Vagrant VMware Fusion 
plugin. The existing Workstation and Fusion plugins are now considered 
deprecated and all new development will be focused on the Desktop plugin.

Users are encouraged to update to the Vagrant VMware Desktop plugin. For 
existing users of the Vagrant VMware Workstation or Vagrant VMware Fusion 
plugins this is a free update. Existing licenses for the Fusion and 
Workstation plugins are compatible with the Desktop plugin.

This plugin introduces a new utility service to provide consistent behavior 
across platforms. The utility service is required by the Vagrant VMware 
Desktop plugin. More information about the utility, including installation 
instructions, can be found here:

 https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/vmware/vagrant-vmware-utility.html

When upgrading from the existing VMware Workstation or VMware Fusion 
plugins it is recommended to halt/destroy all existing Vagrant managed 
VMware VMs. The Desktop plugin includes updates to port forward handling 
and this will reduce the chance of lost port forward entries.

A number of bug fixes and improvements have been included within this 
release along with the unification of the plugins.

* Added generic provider name: vmware_desktop

* Prevent VMX warnings from printing on existing guests

* Updated network configuration and interactions

* Package command support

For a full list of updates, please see the CHANGELOG:
