Last week VMware snuck out two point releases for vCloud Director 8.10 and 8.20. For those still running those versions you now have 8.10.1.1 ( Build 6878548 ) and for 8.20 there 8.20.0.2 ( Build 6875354 ) available for download. These are both patch upgrades and resolve a number of bugs, some of which appear to be mirrored in both versions.

Scanning the Release Notes, below are some of the more notable fixes:

8.10
