Checkmk versions & editions

2.2.0b1	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk Cloud (CCE), Checkmk MSP (CME)
2.1.0p16	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)
2.0.0p30	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

When Checkmk is used on on the Checkmk Appliance 1.6 or newer, it is necessary to update the appliance sidebar snapin.

Previous Checkmk versions displayed the error message

Failed to render navigation:
Traceback (most recent call last): File: "[stdin]", line 2, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

in the sidebar snapin.

Background: The Checkmk Appliance firmware 1.6 migrates the internal software stack to Python 3.7 which makes it incompatible with the previous snapin. This change makes it possible to use Checkmk on older and newer appliance firmware.
