New Features:

  • Dark theme mode for vSphere Client
    • Go to User menu and click on Switch theme to switch over to Dark theme mode of vSphere Client
  • vCenter Authentication Proxy UI is added to vCenter -> Configure -> Authentication Proxy
  • System configuration displays the summary of vCenter (multiple vCenters in case of linked mode) and PSC node (in case of external PSC) and also show them as links. Clicking on these links will open the VAMI UI for these nodes.

Improvements

If there are multiple vCenter servers in vSphere Client connected using linked mode, then certain operations like Deploy OVF across different vCenters will result in a certificate warning asking users to open the vSphere Client for the different vCenter than the one you are using. This warning dialog is updated to give the URL of the vCenter server as a link (Refer this reddit post for reported issue)

Bug fixes

Performance fix for loading actions menu when fling appliance is pointed to a 6.5 vCenter with external PSC
