We are<br \/>\nworking on making them available on vmware.com; hopefully they will<br \/>\nmake it there some day.  In the mean time, we appreciate your<br \/>\npatience.<\/p>\n<p>More information can be found in the README.txt file included in each<br \/>\ndownloaded package.<\/p>\n<p>Packages for RPM and Debian-based distributions, as well as binary and<br \/>\nsource tarballs, can be downloaded from the Google Code site:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/vmware-view-open-client\/downloads\/list?q=3.1.0-GA<\/p>\n<p>Please report any issues you find to:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/vmware-view-open-client\/issues\/list<\/p>\n<p>Thanks and Let&#8217;s Go Pens,<\/p>\n<p>Your View Open Client Team<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VMware has released VMware View 3.1 on the 27th May 2009 and VMware View Open Client 3.1 on June 5th.
