To make -the transition easier, we put various tips and upgrade notes on this page: -https://wiki.clamav.net/Main/UpgradeNotes095 - -The following are the key features of this release: - - - New clamav-milter: The program has been redesigned and rewritten from - scratch. The most notable difference is that the internal mode has been - dropped which means that now a working clamd companion is required. - The milter now also has its own configuration file. - - - Clamd extensions: The protocol has been extended to lighten the load - that clamd puts on the system, solve limitations of the old protocol, - and reduce latency when signature updates are received. For more - information about the new extensions please see the official - documentation and the upgrade notes. - - - Improved API: The API used to program ClamAV's engine (libclamav) has - been redesigned to use modern object-oriented techniques and solves - various API/ABI compatibility issues between old and new releases. - You can find more information in Section 6 of clamdoc.pdf and in - the upgrade notes. - - - ClamdTOP: This is a new program that allows system administrators to - monitor clamd. It provides information about the items in the clamd's - queue, clamd's memory usage, and the version of the signature database, - all in real-time and in nice curses-based interface. - - - Memory Pool Allocator: Libclamav now includes its own memory pool - allocator based on memory mapping. This new solution replaces the - traditional malloc/free system for the copy of the signatures that - is kept in memory. As a result, clamd requires much less memory, - particularly when signature updates are received and the database is - loaded into memory. - - - Unified Option Parser: Prior to version 0.95 each program in ClamAV's - suite of programs had its own set of runtime options. The new general - parser brings consistency of use and validation to these options across - the suite. Some command line switches of clamscan have been renamed - (the old ones will still be accepted but will have no effect and will - result in warnings), please see clamscan(1) and clamscan --help for - the details. +0.95rc2 +-------- + +This is a second release candidate for ClamAV 0.95.
