I just checked with the VMWare Tech that I've been working with on our freezing problems and this is what he told me:
I'm not sure where those folks got the information from but it's not correct. The View 5.2 client is simply an update to the client with no bug fixes only new features such as Windows 8 support. The next major software release is supposed to have the teradici bug fixes in them. At this point no one has communicated to us when a release date is set for this product.
Sorry, wish I had better news for you.
For those that have installed the new client and not experienced the freezing problem, I will be interested to hear whether or not the problem returns. For us, there does not seem to be consistent pattern as to when it occurs. We can go days without it happening, evening weeks, and then, suddenly have two or three days in a row when the problem occurs.
I guess we're going to just stick with the hotfix until the next major release of the client comes out.
