VMNetX 0.5.0 released

The Olive client has been updated to version 0.5.0. This release includes support for 64-bit VMs and various other improvements. Note that VMNetX no longer supports Ubuntu 12.04; we recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

For Linux users, the new release is available through your distribution's package manager. Windows users can download the updated installer. The source release is also available.
