The VMguy

And the first release from VMware in 2010 is:  Lifecycle Manager 1.1.  It can be downloaded here.

Looks like bug fixes and more scalability.

Here’s the what’s new section from the release notes:

VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager (LCM) 1.1 release enhances the performance, robustness, and scalability of LCM and resolves a number of known issues.

The LCM 1.1 release runs on VMware vCenter Orchestrator 4.0.1. To run LCM 1.1, you must install the version of Orchestrator (4.0.1 Build 4502) that accompanies the LCM 1.1 download. See the vCenter Lifecycle Manager 1.1 Installation and Configuration Guide for installation instructions.
