Hi all,

I've added two new optional category groups. If your vendor has a
distinction between consumer (no vPRO) and corporate (with vPRO) ME
updates this email might be interesting, otherwise you can delete it
without reading any further. If this applies, for future uploads, you
can use this in the corporate metainfo.xml file:

  <categories>
    <category>X-CorporateManagementEngine</category>
    <category>X-ManagementEngine</category>
  </categories>

...and in the consumer one:

  <categories>
    <category>X-ConsumerManagementEngine</category>
    <category>X-ManagementEngine</category>
  </categories>

...and where there is no distinction, continue to use:

  <categories>
    <category>X-ManagementEngine</category>
  </categories>

It's important to include the "generic" X-ManagementEngine in the two
new types to maintain backwards compatibility for translations. It's
also important to list the "preferred" type first. If anyone wants me
to mass-update existing firmware components on the LVFS let me know.

Richard.
