New Updates in 6.0

Bug fixes

Ability to edit VMs with network adapters attached to static-binding distributed virtual port groups
Fixed a bug related to changing network adapter type
Fixed a bug related to VM screen shots and consoles when connecting to host client via IPv6 address
Fixed a bug where consoles would not work when host client was reverse-proxied on a non 443 port
Fixed a bug when modifying congestion control algorithm in TCP/IP stacks
Fixed an issue where context menus would sometimes be unlocalized and show missing translation errors
Many more minor fixes

Performance

Performance tuning in populating distributed virtual portgroup port metadata (caused host client to hang on load with a DVS with large numbers of connected VMs)
Performance tuning in loading of virtual machines
Performance tuning in global search (search populates much faster now when a large number of VMs exist)
Performance tuning when loading Host Summary

Notable additions

Ability to consolidate virtual machine disks
Hide session timeout notification when mouse moves
