Hi Ed,
Thank you for your email. "dot-dot" releases (4-dot-5-dot-2) aren't normally
widely announced through
any sort of press releases.
It will be mentioned in our newsletter, going out next week.
Thanks!!
Regards,
Amy

Subject: [service] New version of VMware workstation
As a subscriber and owner of VMware workstation, I was surprised to
learn that a newer version (4.5.2-8848) was available. I did not hear
about this from your site but from a Linux newsgroup where I had posed a
question about some problem I was having with the distro and VMware.
I find this disturbing that as a subscriber I hear about updates through
other sources. I hope that in the future you will inform your users via
e-mail whenever there are updates to their registered products.
Thank You
Ed Gurski
