IMPORTANT

• Driver name change: With this release default driver name (vmdk) has been changed to vsphere. For e.g.
  docker volume create -d vsphere --name=testvol
  Docker caches volume plugin name so, please restart docker service after installation.
  If needed, you can configure driver to use deprecated vmdk name using instructions here
• Upgrades: If you're upgrading from previous release then please follow instructions described here
