1
MNE 2.0.1 adds support for Apple FileVault on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
2
MNE 2.0 provides management of Apple FileVault and Microsoft BitLocker.
3
MNE 1.0 provides management of Apple FileVault only (EOL - March 31, 2016).
4
The MNE OS X client packages haven't been updated in this release. So, the MNE 3.0.x release package includes the Mac OS X 2.1.0 client and DEGO software packages.
MNE 2.1.0 Hotfix 1072394 is a Mac OS X only release used for the management of FileVault. This hotfix is available on the Product Downloads site.
7
MNE 2.1.1 is a Mac OS X release:
This release includes the fixes for issues addressed in MNE 2.1.0 Hotfix 1072394.
Adds support for Apple FileVault on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).
MNE 2.1.1 Mac client is compatible with MNE 2.1 and MNE 3.0.x extensions.
8
The MNE OS X client packages haven't been updated in this release. So, the MNE 4.1.0 release package includes the Mac OS X 4.0.0 client and DEGO software packages.
9
This release package now includes the Mac OS X 4.1.0 client and DEGO software packages to support Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.0. The Windows client packages haven't been updated in this release.
10
The MNE 4.1.2 package at the download site has the build number 4.1.2.9.
The Data Protection Self Service Portal (DPSSP) extension is included in the MNE package for convenience. It has its own version number because it's developed as a separate component.
2
When upgrading, you must remove the existing MNE 1.0 help extension before checking in the MNE 2.0 help extension.
3
The DEGO extension is included in the MNE package because the DEGO for Mac OS X client package requires it. But, it's developed and also distributed as part of the Drive Encryption product, as reflected in the version number.
4
MNE adopts a component-based development approach, where each major component has its own separate version number. As a result, components such as the Advanced Features extension introduced in MNE 4.0 has a version number that might differ from the main product version. The Advanced Feature functions merge into the MNE Admin extension, as of MNE 5.0.0.
NOTE: If the operating system isn't listed, it isn't supported.
