0.95rc1 |
||||
------- |
||||
|
||||
ClamAV 0.95rc1 introduces many bugfixes, improvements and additions. 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. It fixes a number of |
||||
problems that were found in 0.95rc1 and activates support for Google Safe |
||||
Browsing, which can be enabled by turning on the SafeBrowsing option in |
||||
freshclam.conf. Please see 'man 5 freshclam.conf' and |
||||
http://safebrowsing.clamav.net for more information. |
