vmware yesterday released an update to their Fusion virtual machine environment for OS X incrementing its version to 7.1. While the update fixed a number of know issues including the black on black menu icon reported by us when running Yosemite’s black theme, a fix for the lost ability to run the SecondLife viewer or any third party viewer is still missing. vmware support has accepted this a bug that will be resolved.
If you need to run the SecondLife or other viewers in a Windows or Linux virtual machine on OS X, you are adviced to stay on version 6 till the issue has been resolved.
The 7.1 update fixed some performance issues and felt snappy compared to 7.0.1. The full release notes and know issues are published here.
