That looks like the change log for the last version. I wish microsoft would be more forthcoming with information on the development of MSE.

Agree,the MSE team isn't very user friendly when it comes to "sharing informations with your users".I would expect from the leading security solution to share all the info about product updates.

Well its very hard to find a release notes when MSE released and yes I highly doubt that changelog was the last version.

If you download the latest version from the MSE website the installer will upgrade the existing version on your PC. No need to uninstall it first.

With no real details on what's improved on the new version, the Microsoft team announced that on 20 July they will release a update for MSE.

As part of regular update of our antimalware technology to address the latest in the threat landscape, MMPC is planning to release a new antimalware engine on 20 July 2011.

Even though that Microsoft issues Engine Updates to MSE and other Microsoft security products, I don't find any significant improvements. Maybe it's time for a new version.
