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.
