Note:

In case of existing installations on systems running macOS versions older than Big Sur (11.x), you must first update them to the intermediary version 4.15.139.200139. This will enable migration to the new update location for product versions with universal binaries.

Resolved Issues

General

  • Installing the macOS kit (Apple M1) on machines with M1 processors prompted endpoint users to install Rosetta as well.
  • The product failed to connect to Bitdefender cloud services due to an internal issue.

Graphical User Interface

  • The application top menu was not displayed when launching Endpoint Security for Mac from the dock.
  • Events sorting in the History section was not performed by date after making actions such as resizing columns.
