 0.96
 ----

 
 This release of ClamAV introduces new malware detection mechanisms and other
 significant improvements to the scan engine. The key features include:
 
     - The Bytecode Interpreter: the interpreter built into LibClamAV allows
       the signature writers to create and distribute very complex detection
       routines and remotely enhance the scanner's functionality
 
     - Heuristic improvements: improve the PE heuristics detection engine by
       adding support of bogus icons and fake PE header information. In a
       nutshell, ClamAV can now detect malware that tries to disguise itself
       as a harmless application by using the most common Windows program icons.
 
     - Signature Improvements: logical signature improvements to allow more
       detailed matching and referencing groups of signatures. Additionally,
       improvements to wildcard matching on word boundaries and newlines.
 
     - Support for new archives: 7zip, InstallShield and CPIO. LibClamAV
       can now transparently unpack and inspect their contents.
 
     - Support for new executable file formats: 64-bit ELF files and OS X
       Universal Binaries with Mach-O files. Additionally, the PE module
       can now decompress and inspect executables packed with UPX 3.0.
 

     - Support for DazukoFS in clamd
 

     - Performance improvements: overall performance improvements and memory
       optimizations for a better overall resource utilization experience.
 
     - Native Windows Support: ClamAV will now build natively under Visual
       Studio. This will allow 3rd Party application developers on Windows
       to easily integrate LibClamAV into their applications.

 ----

 ClamAV 0.95 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. For detailed list of changes
 and bugfixes, please see the ChangeLog.

 
 The following are the key features of this release:
 

     - Google Safe Browsing support: in addition to the heuristic and signature
       based phishing detection mechanisms already available in ClamAV, the
       scanner can now make use of the Google's blacklists of suspected
       phishing and malware sites. The ClamAV Project distributes a constantly
       updated Safe Browsing database, which can be automatically fetched by
       freshclam. For more information, please see freshclam.conf(5) and
       http://safebrowsing.clamav.net.
 

     - 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.

 --
 The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team)
 

 0.94.1
 ------

 ClamAV 0.94.1 fixes some issues that were found in previous releases and

 includes one new feature, "Malware Statistics Gathering." This is an optional
 feature that allows ClamAV users optionally to submit statistics to us about
 what they detect in the field. We will then use these data to determine what
 types of malware are the most detected in the field and in what geographic
 area they are. It will also allow us to publish summary data on www.clamav.net
 where our users will be able to monitor the latest threats. You can help us
 by enabling SubmitDetectionStats in freshclam.conf.

 0.94
 ----

 Sourcefire and the ClamAV team are pleased to announce the release of
 ClamAV 0.94. The following are the key features and improvements of this
 version:

 
   - Logical Signatures: The logical signature technology uses operators
     such as AND, OR and NOT to allow the combination of more than one
     signature into one entry in the signature database resulting in
     more detailed and flexible pattern matching.
 
   - Anti-phishing Technology: Users can now change the priority and reporting
     of ClamAV's heuristic anti-phishing scanner within the detection engine
     process. They can choose whether, when scanning a supicious file, ClamAV
     should stop scanning and report the phish, or continue to scan in case the
     file contains other malware (clamd: HeuristicScanPrecedence,
     clamscan: --heuristic-scan-precedence)
 
   - Disassembly Engine: The initial version of the disassembly engine improves
     ClamAV's detection abilities.
 
   - PUA Detection: Users can now decide which PUA signatures should be loaded
     (clamd: ExcludePUA, IncludePUA; clamscan: --exclude-pua, --include-pua)
 
   - Data Loss Prevention (DLP): This version includes a new module that, when
     enabled, scans data for the inclusion of US formated Social Security
     Numbers and credit card numbers (clamd: StructuredDataDetection,
     clamscan: --detect-structured; additional fine-tuning options are available)
 
   - IPv6 Support: Freshclam now supports IPv6
 
   - Improved Scanning of Scripts: The normalization of scripts now covers
     JavaScript
 
   - Improved QA and Unit Testing: The improved QA process now includes
     API testing and new library of test files in various formats that are

     tested on a wide variety of systems (try running 'make check' in the source
     directory)

 
 For more details, please refer to http://www.clamav.net/press/0.94-WhatsNew.pdf
 and to the ChangeLog.
 

 You may need to run 'ldconfig' after installing this version.
 

 ** This version drops the special support for Cygwin. Our QA process showed
 ** serious problems with ClamAV builds under Cygwin due to some low-level
 ** incompatibilities in the POSIX compatibility layer, resulting in unreliable
 ** ClamAV behaviour.

 0.90
 ----

 The ClamAV team is proud to announce the long awaited ClamAV 0.90.
 This version introduces lots of new interesting features and marks

 a big step forward in the development of our antivirus engine.

 
 The most important change is the introduction of scripted updates.
 Instead of transferring the whole cvd file at each update, only the
 differences between the latest cvds and the previous versions will be
 transferred.
 
 In case the local copy of the latest cvd is corrupted or the scripted
 update fails for some reason, freshclam will fallback to the old method.
 Similarly to cvd files, scripted updates are compressed and digitally signed
 and are already being distributed. They will dramatically reduce traffic on
 our mirrors and will allow us to release even more updates in the future.
 
 Another noticeable change is the new configuration syntax: you can now turn
 single options on and off, the old crude hack of "DisableDefaultScanOptions"
 is no longer required.
 
 Cosmetic changes apart, the 0.9x series introduces lots of new code, but some
 parts are not compiled in by default because they are not ready for production
 systems yet. You are encouraged to pass the --enable-experimental flag to

 ./configure when compiling ClamAV. The experimental code introduces many
 improvements in terms of detection rate and performances. If you find a bug,
 please take some time to report it on our bugzilla: http://bugs.clamav.net.
 Your help in testing the new code is really appreciated. The experimental code
 introduces many improvements in terms of detection rate and performances. 

 
 RAR3, SIS and SFX archives support is finally available together with 

 new unpackers and decryptors: pespin, sue, yc, wwpack32, nspack, mew, upack
 and others. Additionally, ClamAV now includes better mechanisms for scanning
 ELF, PDF and tar files. The email decoding has been improved to reduce both
 the memory requirements and the time taken to process attachments.

 
 As part of the Google Summer of Code program, we have introduced support for
 a new phishing signatures format that has proved very effective in detecting
 phishing emails. The ClamAV phishing module allows better and more generic
 detection of phishing emails by searching for URLs in email messages, and 
 comparing the real site with the URL displayed to the user in the message. 
 
 On the performance side, support for the MULTISCAN command has been 
 implemented in clamd, allowing to scan multiple files simultaneously.

 Support for Sensory Networks' NodalCore acceleration technology
 (http://www.clamav.net/nodalcore/) is now available in ClamAV and will be

 compiled in if the ncore libraries are detected at compile time. NodalCore
 acceleration allows highly improved scan speeds on systems equipped with
 NodalCore cards.

 ----
 
 Due to a high number of bad files produced by broken software, the MS05-002

 exploit detector now only checks specific RIFF files. This version also fixes

 a stability problem of clamav-milter/clamd and improves e-mail scanning.
 
 --

 The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team)

 0.82
 ----
 
 This release adds generic detection of MS05-002 ("Vulnerability in Cursor and
 Icon Format Handling Could Allow Remote Code Execution") based exploits.
 Fixes include correct attachment scanning in e-mails generated by some

 Internet worms (broken in 0.81), removed false positive "Suspect.Zip"

 warning on non-standard zip archives created by ICEOWS, better proxy support
 in freshclam, and speed improvements.
 
 --

 The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team)

 0.81
 ----
 
 Scan engine improvements were made. The internal mail scanner now supports
 multipart/partial messages, and support for decoding non-standard mail files
 was greatly enhanced. clamav-milter by default uses libclamav and scans emails
 itself without the use of clamd. libclamav can now extract RFC2397 encoded
 data within HTML documents, block zip archives with modified information in
 local header, and scan HQX files. PE file structure rebuilding from compressed
 executables was improved.

 Important note to clamdwatch users: please upgrade to the latest version
 (contrib/clamdwatch) as soon as possible.

 
 -) libclamav:
     + major improvements in the mail scanning engine:
 	o support for multipart/partial messages
 	o improved support for non-standard quoted-printable attachments
 	o in some situations it will try to guess a correct mode (e.g.
 	  a good type for an incorrect content-type, a best guess for an
 	  unknown encoding type, etc.)
 	o handling of RFC822 comments in the commands (e.g.: Co(foo)ntent-Type:
 	  text/plain)
 	o better recovery if memory softlimit is hit
 	o new test code that decodes emails without parsing them first (must
 	  be enabled manually before compilation)
 
     + support for extracting RFC2397 encoded data within HTML documents
     + blocking of zip archives with modified information in local header
     + improved PE structure rebuilding from compressed executables
     + improved support for zip archives
     + support for Mac's HQX file format
     + stability and (minor) security fixes
     + a lot of minor improvements, including support for new platforms
 
 -) clamd:
     + new directive ExitOnOOM (stop the deamon when libclamav reports an out of
       memory condition)
     + new directives StreamMinPort and StreamMaxPort (port range specification
       for a stream mode)
     + support for passing of file descriptors
 
 -) clamdscan:
     + added support for --move and --remove
 
 -) clamav-milter:

     + by default uses libclamav to scan e-mails
     + new option --external (enables the use of clamd)

     + various optimisations
 
 -) freshclam:
     + the DNS mode is now enabled by default (no need for DNSDatabaseInfo in
       freshclam.conf)
     + --no-dns uses a If-Modified-Since method instead of a range GET
     + added support for AllowSupplementaryGroups
 
 -) sigtool:
     + new options --vba and --vba-hex (extract VBA/Word6 macros and optionally
       display the corresponding hex values; Word6 binary code will be
       disassembled)
 

 -) The list of third party programs with support for ClamAV is growing
    rapidly. Here are the latest additions (see clamdoc.pdf for details):
 

     + AVScan - a libclamav based GUI a-v scanner for Unix
     + clamailfilter - a Python script that provides a-v scanning via procmailrc
     + ClamAVPlugin - A ClamAV plugin for SpamAssassin 3.x

 The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team)

 0.80rc4
 -------
 
 Improvements in this release include better JPEG exploit verification,
 faster base64 decoding, support for GNU tar files, updated on-access scanner,
 and others.

 The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team)

 0.80rc3
 -------
 
 This release candidate eliminates possible false positive alerts in UPX/FSG
 compressed files and clarifies behaviour of default actions in clamd and
 freshclam.
 
 We encourage users to take advantage of our new mirror structure. In order to
 download the database from the closest mirror you should configure freshclam
 to use db.XY.clamav.net where XY is your country code (see
 http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm for the full list). Please add
 the following lines to freshclam.conf:
 
     DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
     DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net
     DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
 
 DNSDatabaseInfo enables database and software version verification through
 DNS TXT records, and the second database mirror acts as a fallback in case
 a connection to the first mirror fails for some reason.
 
 

 0.80rc2
 -------
 
 This update fixes a serious bug in e-mail scanner.
 
 

 0.80rc
 ------
 
 The development version of ClamAV is ready for general testing! New mechanisms
 have already proved very nasty to Internet worms successfully protecting
 against the new versions R, S, T, U, V and W of the infamous Mydoom worm
 and detecting them as Worm.Mydoom.Gen before they were analysed and specific
 signatures added by the ClamAV database maintainers. That means servers running
 the new version of ClamAV have detected and blocked 100% of Mydoom attacks!
 
 New features in this release include:
 
 -) libclamav
     + Portable Executable analyser (CL_SCAN_PE) featuring:
 	o UPX decompression (all versions)
 	o Petite decompression (2.x)
 	o FSG decompression (1.3, 1.31, 1.33)
 	o detection of broken executables (CL_SCAN_BLOCKBROKEN)
     + new, memory efficient, pattern matching algorithm (multipattern variant
       of Boyer-Moore) - it's now primary matcher and Aho-Corasick is only used
       for regular expression extended signatures
     + new signature format with advanced target type and offset specification
     + support for MD5 based signatures
     + extended regular expression scanner

     + great improvements in e-mail scanner (now handles even more worm tricks)
     + new method of mail files detection
     + all e-mail attachments are now scanned (previously only the first ten
       attachments were scanned)
     + added support for scanning URLs in e-mails (CL_SCAN_MAILURL)
     + detection of Worm.Mydoom.M.log
     + updated API (still backward compatible but please consult clamdoc.pdf
       (Section 6) and adapt your software)
 
 -) clamd
     + new directive ScanHTML (enables HTML normalisator and ScrEnc decoder)

       supported by clamscan
     + added support for archive scanning in stdin mode
 
 -) clamav-milter
     + improved template file format
     + quarantined file names now contain virus names
     + initial support for SESSION mode of clamd
 
 -) freshclam:
     + new directive DNSDatabaseInfo that enables ultra lightweight version
       verification method through DNS (using TXT records). Based on idea by
       Christopher X. Candreva and enabled by default.
       (see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/clamav/users/11102)
     + new option --no-dns (quick option to disable DNS method without editing
       freshclam.conf)

       results in three html files in current directory)
 
 -) configure:
     + new option --disable-gethostbyname_r (try enabling it if clamav-milter
       compilation fails)
     + new option --disable-dns (try enabling it if freshclam compilation fails)
     + extended regular expression scanner
 
 -) documentation
     + included new Mac OS X installation instructions
     + official documentation rewritten and outdated docs removed
 
 -) new 3rd party software with support for ClamAV:
     + OdeiaVir - an e-mail filter for qmail and Exim

 Special thanks to aCaB for his work on UPX, FSG and Petite decompressors.
 
 Thanks to good reaction times on new threats ClamAV was awarded as best
 security tool for 2004 by Linux Journal: "...With this year's outbreak of
 e-mail worms for non-Linux platforms, ClamAV has been getting quite a workout,
 and Linux admins on mailing lists report that database update times are keeping
 up with or beating the proprietary alternatives." Thanks!
 
 SourceWear.com is selling some very nice t-shirts and polo shirts powered by
 ClamAV. Wear them and virus writers will stay away from you :-) A quarter out
 of every dollar profited from the sale of these shirts will go to the ClamAV
 project. Visit http://www.sourcewear.com and click on ClamAV logo!

 0.75
 ----
 
 This release fixes detection of e-mails generated by Worm.Mydoom.I.
 
 Important notice for people using ClamAV 0.60:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Our logs show that there is still a small percentage of ClamAV 0.60
 installations updating their database. ClamAV 0.60 was released on
 July 29th, 2003 and it was the last release to use the old database
 format. Starting from version 0.65, released on November 12nd, ClamAV
 uses a new database format, which is compressed and digitally signed.
 We have been distributing the database in both formats till now, but
 we plan to drop support for ClamAV 0.60 on September 1st.
 
 We encourage _all_ users to upgrade to the latest release available.
 People running an old version of ClamAV are missing many viruses and 
 may experience stability problems.
 
 On non-production systems you can try the latest development version.
 The new engine not only speeds up the scanning process but also limits
 memory usage by about 8 MB ! It's able to scan new formats, including
 CAB, CHM, UPX, HTML (normalisation), PowerPoint macros and can detect
 annoying e-mails with empty attachments generated by new Bagle variants.

 Special thanks to Dirk Mueller <mueller*kde.org> for his code review,

 many bugfixes and cleanups.
 

 Thanks to the help of many companies (clamdoc.pdf: Section 2.10,
 http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html) we have 49 very fast and reliable
 virus database mirrors in 22 regions and the number is still growing.
 As of March 2004 we attempt to redirect our users to the closest pool
 of mirrors by looking at their ip source address when they try to resolve
 database.clamav.net. Our DNS servers can answer with a CNAME to:

 db.europe.clamav.net, db.america.clamav.net, db.asia.clamav.net or
 db.other.clamav.net. Our advanced push-mirroring mechanism (maintained by
 Luca Gibelli) allows database maintainers to update all the mirrors in less
 than one minute !

 There will be no major feature enhancements in the 0.7x series. Our work
 will be concentrated on a new scanning engine and preliminary heuristics -
 please help us and test CVS snapshots from time to time.
 
 

 We are happy to announce new programs with support for ClamAV (all of them

 have been reviewed by our team - more info in the documentation and

 on our website: http://www.clamav.net/download/third-party-tools):

 0.68-1
 ------
 Fixed RAR support.
 
 0.68
 ----
 This version fixes a crash with some RAR archives generated by the Bagle worm,
 also a few important fixes have been backported from CVS.
 
 We strongly encourage users to install the 0.70-rc version (released today).

 has better Cygwin support.
 

 0.66
 ----

 This version is a response to the "clamav 0.65 remote DOS exploit" information
 published on popular security-related mailing lists. Unfortunately we had
 not been contacted by the author before he published that and had to release
 this (unplanned) package very quickly (it should be mentioned that CVS version
 was not vulnerable to the exploit). Untested code has been disabled also
 the Dazuko support is temporarily not available (if you really need it please
 use a CVS version or wait for a next stable release). Other noteworthy changes:

     + fixed database timestamp handling (and a double reload problem reported

       by Alex Pleiner and Ole Stanstrup)

     + new directive: ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio
     + new command: SESSION (starts a clamd session and allows to do multiple
       commands per TCP session)

 News:
 
 ClamAV was the first anti-virus protecting against Worm.SCO.A (aka MyDoom.A) !
 The signature was published by Diego d'Ambra in the daily update 105,
 26-Jan-2004 20:23 GMT and we were at least two hours faster than "big" AV
 vendors:
 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3764826&forum_id=34654
 http://www.pcwelt.de/news/viren_bugs/37278/4.html
 
 
 clamav-devel is finally able to decode OLE2 (Microsoft Office) files and
 decompress VBA streams ! The code is developed by Trog, official ClamAV
 developer. Also we're testing new clamd implementation that will solve
 several important problems (especially that "Time out" related). Please
 help us and test the latest CVS version.
 
 
 The virus database now contains more than 20.000 signatures ! On January 8,
 Denis De Messemacker (who joined our team 3 months ago) added signatures for
 about 7700 new viruses. Also special thanks go to Tomasz Papszun for his
 hard work on daily submissions and forcing us to keep ClamAV quality on
 the highest possible level.
 
 
 New mirroring mechanisms. Luca Gibelli (ClamAV) and mirror administrators
 (22 sites, http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html, please see clamdoc.pdf for
 a complete mirror information) are converting mirrors to new "push mirroring"
 method. It uses advanced techniques to ensure all the mirrors are up to date.

 IMPORTANT NOTE: The project has been moved into SourceForge. The only official
 		ClamAV's homepage is www.clamav.net (however clamav.elektrapro.
 		com still works). We would like to thank ElektraPro.com for
 		their support for the open-source community  - THANKS !
 
 
 ClamAV 0.65 introduces a new database container file format (called CVD) with
 support for digital signatures and compression. Please remove the old
 databases from your database directory before the installation. And the most
 important thing: clamd stability has been greatly improved (especially under
 FreeBSD) ! Also we have a new mirror infrastructure - you will find all the
 details in clamdoc.pdf. If you want to become an official ClamAV mirror
 (with entry in database.clamav.net) please read the clamav-mirror-howto.pdf
 document and contact our administrator - Luca Gibelli <nervous*clamav.net>.

 0.60
 ----
 
 Hello again...
 
 This is a new, (very?) stable release of Clam AntiVirus. 0.60 was developed
 and stabilized for over seven months and many people had contributed to the
 final release. This version introduces many enhancements and a new program:
 clamav-milter written by ClamAV developer Nigel Horne. This is a mail scanner
 for Sendmail/milter written entirely in C, which uses clamd for virus scanning.
 Clamav-milter and clamd duet is a powerful solution for systems where high
 performance is required. Please check clamdoc for more detail.
 
 
     Many people get confused with ClamAV database status because of
     the OpenAntiVirus update information at:
 	    http://openantivirus.org/latest.php
     (last update at 17 October, 2002). The ClamAV virus database contains
     the OAV database (with some signatures fixed or removed) but we
     develop it independently of the OAV project. Our database is updated
     frequently (on average 4-5 times a week). You can help (or join) us -
     will find some basic but useful instructions at
 	    http://clamav.elektrapro.com/doc/signatures.pdf
 
 
 News from ClamAV world:
 
 -) New email address for virus submitting: virus@clamav.elektrapro.com
    You don't need to encrypt a virus sample, but if your system doesn't allow
    you to send infected files just put it into an encrypted zip archive
    (password: virus)
 
    Special thanks to Nicholas Chua, Diego D'Ambra, Hrvoje Habjanic, Nigel Kukard
    and Chris van Meerendonk for a big number of samples submitted.
 
 -) New mailing list: virusdb@clamav.elektrapro.com
    After each update an email with subject "[clamav-virusdb] Update" and a list
    of viruses added is sent to it. You can set up a procmail rule for freshclam
    to react on such a mails (and update the database just after an update).
 
 -) New official mirrors:
     + clamav.ozforces.com: database mirror updated manually (thanks to
       Andrew <andrew@ozforces.com>)
     + clamav.essentkabel.com: full (automatic) mirror of clamav.elektrapro.com
       (thanks to Chris van Meerendonk <cvm@castel.nl>)
     + clamav.linux-sxs.org: database mirror - rsync from clamav.ozforces.com
       (thanks to Douglas J Hunley <doug@hunley.homeip.net>)
 
     Freshclam will automatically use them when the main server is not
     accessible.
 
 -) Official port in FreeBSD available ! (maintained by Masahiro Teramoto
    <markun@onohara.to>)
 
 -) Unofficial port for OpenBSD is available at:
 	http://www.activeintra.net/openbsd/article.php?id=5
    (maintained by Flinn Mueller <flinn@activeintra.net>)
 
 -) there are many new programs that use ClamAV, eg. mod_clamav (Apache
    virus scanning filter), clamdmail or Sagator. You will find more
    info in clamdoc.
 
 Changes:
 
 -) libclamav:
     + fixed buffer overflow in unrarlib (patch by Robbert Kouprie
       <robbert@exx.nl>)
 
     + various mbox code updates (fixed memory leak; added support for decoding
       viruses sent in message bodies, detection of viruses that put their
       payloads after the end of message marker (thanks to Stephen White
       <stephen@earth.li> for the bug report and useful CGI tools); 
 
     + zziplib updated to 0.10.81 (some problems with older version were reported
       by Martin Schitter)
     + direct scanning of mbox/maildir files (new directive CL_MAIL)
     + file scanner optimization (patch by Hendrik Muhs
       <Hendrik.Muhs@student.uni-magdeburg.de>)
     + bzip2 support
     + faster detection of malformed Zip archives (eg. 'Zip of Death'), they are
       reported as a viruses
     + fixed strcasecmp() compile problem in zziplib on Free/NetBSD and others
 
 
 -) clamd:
     + fixed descriptor leak in directory scanner - it was causing random
       clamd crashes and locks, especially on highly loaded servers. Reported
       by Kristof Petr <Kristof.P@fce.vutbr.cz>.
 
     + fixed crash with archive scanning on BSD (increased thread stack size)
       (Nigel Horne)
     + fixed CONTSCAN command (used by clamdscan) - it had archive support
       disabled (hardcoded)
     + fixed SelfCheck option (there was a logic bug, and the option was
       disabled) it now checks a databases time stamps and reloads them
       if needed.
     + fixed possible writing to undefined descriptors (bug found by
       Brian May <bam@debian.org>)
     + new STREAM command (scanning data on socket) and directives:
       StreamSaveToDisk (save stream to disk to allow scanning within archives),
       StreamMaxLength. This option allows scanning data on socket (might be
       sent from another host), currently only clamav-milter uses this.
 
     + new ScanMail directive for scanning into mbox/Maildir files
     + new directive: ArchiveLimitMemoryUsage (limit memory usage with bzip2)
     + new directive: AllowSupplementaryGroups (feature requested by Exiscan
       users)
     + syslog support (LogSyslog) (patch by Hrvoje Habjanic
       <hrvoje.habjanic@zg.hinet.hr>)
     + fixed parser segfault with extra space between option and argument
       in config file (Magnus Ekdahl <magnus@debian.org>)
 
 
 -) clamscan:
     + fixed --remove option (didn't work when the file was scanned with an
       internal unpacker) (patch by Damien Curtain <damien@pagefault.org>)
     + --move option for moving infected files into a specified directory
       (by Damien Curtain <damien@pagefault.org>)
     + --mbox enables a direct support for mbox files
       (ex. clamscan --mbox /var/spool/mail)
     + fixed --log (-l) option
     + fixed -i option (patch by Magnus Ekdahl <magnus@debian.org>)
     + enabled default archive limits (max-files = 500, max-size = 10M,
       max-recursion = 5)
     + use arj instead of non-free unarj (patch by Magnus Ekdahl)
     + use unzoo instead of non-free zoo (patch by Magnus Ekdahl)
     + removed thread support
 
 freshclam:
     + mirror support (implemented by Damien Curtain <damien@pagefault.org>)
     + --proxy-user: proxy authorization support (implemented by Gernot Tenchio
       <g.tenchio@telco-tech.de>)
     + new options --on-error-execute, --on-update-execute
       (ex. freshclam -d -c 6 --on-error-execute "sendsms 23332243 Can't
       update virus database"). Idea by Douglas J Hunley <doug@hunley.homeip.net>
 
 configure:
     + --disable-cr (don't link with C reentrant library (needed on some newer
       versions of OpenBSD))
 
 -) Enhanced AIX (thanks to Mike Loewen <mloewen@sturgeon.cac.psu.edu>) and
    Tru64 support (thanks to Christophe Varoqui <ext.devoteam.varoqui@sncf.fr>)
 
 -) documentation:
     + included how-to in Portugese by Alexandre de Jesus Marcolino
     + clamdoc.pdf and system manual updates
 
 Many thanks to Luca 'NERvOus' Gibelli from ElektraPro for his support,
 to Ken McKittrick from USA DataNet for a fully accessible FreeBSD box and
 to mailing list subscribers for a constructive discussions.

 0.54
 ----
 Many major changes this time...
 
 -) libclamav:
     + fixed segfault with some strange zip archives (there is a bug in zziplib,
       libclamav contains a work around for it) (the problem was reported by
       Oliver Paukstadt <pstadt@stud.fh-heilbronn.de>)
     + engine improvements (better support for a detection of new viruses,
       limited memory usage (consumes ~ 5 Mb now))
     + mbox code updated and moved into the library: fixed core dump when an
       embedded message includes a mime header with the line Content-Type:
       without specifying the type of content, fixed (theoretical) memory leak,
       support for multipart/report messages, fixed bug causing some formats to
       fail to scan) (Nigel)
 -) clamd:
     + new commands: CONTSCAN (it doesn't stop scanning even when virus is
       found), VERSION
     + disable logging of a unnecessary time stamps with LogTime when
       LogVerbose isn't used (patch by Ed Phillips <ed@UDel.Edu>)
 -) freshclam:
     + "Cache-Control: no-cache" enabled by default
     + Cygwin support fix
 -) clamdscan:
     + initial version
 -) all tools:
     + removed huge printf() in help() (there was a buffer overflow problem with
       --help option under Windows and SCO Unix (reported by Wojciech Noworyta
       <wnow@konarski.edu.pl> and Nigel respectively)
 -) configure:
     + allow configuration of the clamav user and group with --with-user and
       --with-group (patch by Patrick Bihan-Faou <patrick@mindstep.com>)
     + --enable-id-check - it uses the check procedure from Jason Englander
       <jason@englanders.cc>, currently it will fail on systems with getent
       which doesn't detect clamav group.
     + do not overwrite the existing config file
 
 
 There are initial packages for Windows available at:
     http://clamav.elektrapro.com/binary
 
 --tk
 
 
 0.53
 ----
 This release has removed the limit for a file name length in clamscan. Some
 viruses (eg. W32/Yaha.E) are using very long file names, and they were
 ignored in mbox mode. Users of AMaViS-ng and other wrappers were not
 vulnerable to this problem, because that programs don't use original
 attachement file names.
 
 -) clamscan:
     + removed limit for a file name length (thanks to Odhiambo Washington
       <wash@wananchi.com> for the test files and extensive mbox testing)
     + mbox: adapted to the new changes, enabled thread support (Nigel),
 	    re-enabled temporary directory removing.
 
 0.52
 ----
 
 This version contains a portability fixes - it should compile on OpenBSD,
 MacOSX and NetBSD (support for them was broken in 0.51). 
 
 -) clamd: various fixes:
 	+ drop supplementary groups (suggested by Enrico Scholz
 	  <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de>) (this has been implemented
 	  in freshclam, too)
 	+ work-around for the segmentation fault at QUIT under FreeBSD
 	+ check timeouts when waiting for threads in RELOAD mode
 	+ SelfCheck - internal integrity check (by default every 1 hour)
 	+ fixed problem with directory scanning on non typical file systems
 	  (bug reported by Jason Englander <jason@englanders.cc>)
 	+ clamd is a system command (clamd.1 -> clamd.8, /usr/local/bin ->
 	  /usr/local/sbin) (Magnus Ekdahl)
 -) clamscan:
 	+ mbox code updates (Nigel Horne) - it fixes some problems on *BSD
 	  systems (see mailing lists archives for the details)
 	+ enable core dumping (Nigel Horne) [ with --enable-debug ]
 -) freshclam:
 	+ applied http-proxy patch from http://bugs.debian.org/clamav (by
 	  Martin Lesser <admin-debian@bettercom.de>)
 	+ when configured with --disable-cache, freshclam forces 'no-cache'
 	  option in proxy servers (patch by Ant La Porte <ant@dvere.net>)
 
 -) HPUX (10.20/11.0 tested) support (thanks to Joe Oaks <joe.oaks@hp.com>)
 -) fixed support for SCO Unix and BeOS (Nigel Horne)
 -) support/mboxscan: new version with SpamAssassin support (Nigel Horne)
 -) re-included TrashScan 0.08 (by Trashware <trashware@gmx.de>) - the security
    issue has been fixed.
 -) included "Installing qmail-scanner, Clam Antivirus and SpamAssassin under
    FreeBSD" how-to by Paul Hoadley and Eric Parsonage
 
 
 0.51
 ----
 
 OAV database is up to date ! There was a problem with signature parsing,
 because some hex strings were upper case. Anyway, I still recommend you
 freshclam for a database updating.
 
 -) support for the genuine OAV database
 -) limited memory usage (at the cost of speed, increase CL_MIN_LENGTH in
    libclamav/clamav.h to make it faster, it's safe to set it on 3-4 for
    the OAV database)
 -) fixed compile problem on TurboLinux 6.5 (probably others, too), the bug
    was reported by Henk Kuipers <henk@opensourcesolutions.nl>.
 -) clamd: fixed THREXIT (thanks to Piotr Gackiewicz <gacek@intertele.pl>)
 -) clamd: fixed serious bug with thread argument type
 -) clamscan: mbox: don't scan empty attachments (Nigel Horne)
 -) configure: --with-db1, --with-db2 (suggested by Magnus Ekdahl)
 
 
 0.50
 ----
 
 Here it is...
 Clam AntiVirus 0.50 contains an anti-virus library - libclamav, a fully
 multi-threaded daemon clamd(1) and a quite long list of changes. The
 documentation was rewritten and you _should_ review it. By courtesy of
 NERvOus <nervous@nervous.it> and ElektraPro, there are three mailing lists
 available - you can subscribe via www at http://clamav.elektrapro.com/ml.
 Please check the manual for more information.
 
 
 New software:
 
 -) libclamav with RAR, Zip and Gzip support built-in. The library is thread
    safe and should be very secure, also. It uses UniquE RAR File
    Library by Christian Scheurer and Johannes Winkelmann (RAR 2.0 support only)
    and zziplib library by Guido Draheim and Tomi Ollila. Both of them are
    included and slightly modified in the clamav sources. You need the zlib
    library for the Zip/Gzip support, though. The API is described with
    examples in the clamdoc.
 
 -) clamd: a modern anti-virus daemon. It uses configuration file clamav.conf
    described in the clamav.conf(5) manual. The program was written with
    security as a goal. 
 
 -) clamuko: on-access scanning under Linux. It utilizes Dazuko kernel module
    (GPL, http://dazuko.org) and is clamd-based.
 
 New features / improvements:
 
 -) enhanced scanner engine (better detection of some complex polymorphic
    viruses)
 
 -) clamscan: Nigel Horne <njh@bandsman.co.uk> has added the ability to scan
    mail attachments in a filter. For example:
 
    $ clamscan -i --mbox - < /var/spool/mail/john
    /tmp/aa6b9fc06bc477ae/setup.exe: Worm/Klez.H FOUND
 
    Nigel is the author of the whole mbox code in clamscan. Currently it only
    works in a filter mode, but there are plans to move the code into the
    libclamav and allow clamd using it. Please check support/mboxscan, also.
 
 -) clamscan: support for including and excluding multiple patterns with
    --include and --exclude (patch by Alejandro Dubrovsky
    <s328940@student.uq.edu.au>).
    Example: clamscan --include .exe --include .obj --include .scr /mnt/windows
 
 -) clamscan: don't scan /proc files (Linux, st_dev comparing). No more
    /proc/kcore related mails :))
 
 -) clamscan: use libclamav's archive support by default (it's enabled by default
    and may be disabled with --disable-archive) and switch to the external
    unpackers (if specified) in the case of libclamav archive code error.
 
 -) freshclam: proxy support (via $http_proxy variable and --http-proxy).
    I started implementing proxy support some time ago, but never finished.
    Nigel Horne did the great job and has finished the proxy support !
 
 -) freshclam: --daemon-notify. freshclam will send the RELOAD command to the
    daemon after database update (supports both tcp and local sockets, it reads
    clamav.conf to determine the socket type).
 
 -) freshclam: support for viruses.db2
 
 Bug fixes:
 
 -) freshclam: log 'Database updated' message (thanks to Jeffrey Moskot
     <jef@math.miami.edu> for the bug report). It now prints a number
     of signatures in a database, also.
 
 -) clamscan: fixed compile problem on Solaris 8 and some other systems -
    #include <signal.h> lack in others.c (thanks Mike Loewen
    <mloewen@sturgeon.cac.psu.edu> for the bug report)
 
 Documentation:
 
 -) included Japanese documentation by Masaki Ogawa <proc@mac.com>
 
 -) updated Spanish "Sendmail + Amavis + ClamAv - Como" by Erick I. Lopez
    Carreon <elopezc@technitrade.com>
 
 -) rewritten clamdoc, included clamdoc-html, removed PostScript version (.ps)
 
 -) Clam-Mutant ;) logo update by Michal Hajduczenia <michalis@mat.uni.torun.pl>
 
 -) new man pages: clamd(1), clamav.conf(5); others updated
 
 
 !!!
     Please don't use the oav-update script with this version. It doesn't
 update viruses.db2 and supports OpenAntiVirus.org site only (the last
 update of the OAV database was 1 July !). Nicholas Chua <nicholas@ncmbox.net>
 has generated over 200 new signatures, ClamAV's database is also frequently
 updated (expecially when new wild virus/worm appears, eg. W32/BugBear.A).
 
     This software is still in developement (new software == new bugs), however
 clamscan should be very stable. You shouldn't use clamd/clamuko (well, clamd is
 stable, clamuko isn't) on production systems, yet. Please wait for 0.51 at
 least ;). ClamAV 0.50 was tested on Linux and Solaris and should work fine.
 There is a problem with clamd on FreeBSD (tested on my FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT) -
 the daemon crashes with Zip/Gzip files (disabling ScanArchive should help).
 
 Enjoy !

 0.24
 ----
 
 -) fixed threads deadlock in a critical error situation (bug found by David
    Sanchez <dsanchez@veloxia.com>)
 -) fixed sigtool bug (negative seeking)
 -) fixed potential clamscan segfault in the case of memory allocation error

 -) unpacker execution error is no longer treated as critical - a few programs

    (eg. Qmail-Scanner, TrashScan) have clamscan command hardcoded with all
    archive options turned on. Now, if unpacker can't be executed, raw file is
    scanned and scan process is continued.
 -) reverted to pthread.h detection
 -) TrashScan 0.07 (Trashware <trashware@gmx.net>)
 -) --exclude (regular expressions are not supported !)
    [ex: clamscan --exclude="/proc/kcore" /], but please use it with care.
 -) included html documentation
 
 IMPORTANT NOTE:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 You will probably have a problem with a default Qmail-Scanner (1.13 or newer)
 installation. You need to increase qmail-smtpd softlimit or disable it. You
 can force clamscan to use only half of the memory which it uses by default, too.
 Please change the following line in the clamscan/matcher.h file:
     #define MIN_LENGTH 5
 to:
     #define MIN_LENGTH 3
 and recompile the program. Unhappily, scanning may be a little slower in some
 cases, but it shouldn't be significant. Then you can safely set the qmail
 softlimit to 8 MB. I want to thank Doug Monroe <doug@planetconnect.com> for
 his contribution in the problem analysis.
 ---
 
 New ClamAV version is in a heavy development. It has currently built-in
 support for RAR, Zip, Gzip and tar. The daemon will support only built-in
 compression/archive support. Snapshot will be available for a few days.
 
 0.23
 ----
 
 -) fixed compile problem on FreeBSD (thanks to Wieslaw Glod <wkg@x2.pl> and
    Ken McKittrick <klmac@usadatanet.com>)
 -) clamscan reads all .db files from data directory, so you can put your
    own databases there and they won't be overwrited by the updaters. viruses.db
    is still the main database file (if --database isn't used).
 -) --deb (debian binary packages scanning) by Magnus Ekdahl <magnus@debian.org>
 -) --remove option, but be careful with it !
 -) new clam logo ;) (GPL) by Michal Hajduczenia <michalis@mat.uni.torun.pl>.
 -) TrashScan 0.06 (by Trashware <trashware@gmx.net>) - a script for scanning
    mail with procmail. I recommend it. (support/trashscan)
 -) documentation updates
 
 0.30 release will contain a daemon and an anti-virus library (with simple API),
 so you can use it directly in your projects. I want to build in zip and rar
 support, also.
 
 There are binary packages for AIX available. Please check the documentation.
 
 0.22
 ----
 
 This release fixes bug with scanning archives in unaccessible directories with
 *superuser* priviledges (after dropping priviledges scanner wasn't able to
 access the archive, although the same archive was accessible), thanks
 for Sergei Pronin <sp@finndesign.fi> for the problem description. Now all
 archives unaccessible directly by the clamav user are copied (with a respect to
 --max-space) to the temporary directory. All old filesystem tricks were removed.
 
 Other fixes / improvements:
 
 -) better error handling, new error codes
 -) improved -i (--infected) option
 -) removed --strange-unzip option
 -) removed eicar test files and logos from the documentation due to the GPL
    (thanks for Magnus Ekdahl <magnus@debian.org>), ClamAV-Test-Signature is
    used instead
 -) removed Qmail-Scanner patch, ClamAV is supported by Q-S 1.13 (thanks guys!)
 -) code cleanups
 
 
 0.21 Release
 ------------
 
 It fixes following problems:
 
 -) database downloading in freshclam/0.20
 -) malformed amavis-perl patch from 0.20
 -) clamscan problems with some unzip versions, please try --strange-unzip
    option
 
 ClamAV 0.21 source package contains initial support for NetBSD
 (thanks to Marc Baudoin <babafou@babafou.eu.org>, Jean-Edouard BABIN
 <Jeb@jeb.com.fr>), better support for Mac OS X (Masaki Ogawa <proc@mac.com>),
 and clamdoc documentation corrected by Dennis Leeuw <dleeuw@made-it.com>.
 
 
 0.20 Release
 ------------
 
 The most important change in this release is a new, linear pattern matching
 algorithm. You will find more informations about it in clamscan/matcher.c -
 in the sources and in clamdoc. Summary (since 0.15):
 
 New features:
 
 -) fast pattern matching algorithm
 -) sigtool utility, check `man sigtool` and clamdoc
 -) Linux: threads autodetection on various architectures
           (Magnus Ekdahl <magnus@debian.org>)
 -) -i, --infected: clamscan prints only infected files
 -) 'Data scanned' in summary, size in megabytes with 16 Kb precision
 -) configure: --with-dbdir sets the database location
 -) support/sigmake shell script by Dennis Leeuw <leeuw@stone-it.com>
 -) Spanish "Sendmail+Amavis+ClamAv installation how-to" by
    Erick I. Lopez Carreon <elopezc@technitrade.com>
 
 Updates:
 
 -) "Debian GNU/Linux Mail Server v. 0.2.0" by Dennis Leeuw <leeuw@stone-it.com>
 -) qmail-scanner patch from Kazuhiko <kazuhiko@fdiary.net>
 -) general documentation cleanups / updates
 -) freshclam / Internet database location
 
 Fixes:
 
 -) threads autodetection on not-x86 Linux systems
 -) gcc 3.x support (David Ford <david+cert@blue-labs.org>)
 -) data type fix on Mac OS X (Peter N Lewis <peter@stairways.com.au>)
 -) removed -w, --whole-file, now clamscan scans whole files by default
    -w is still supported by internal getopt(), because it is used in
    various patches
 -) removed --one-virus, still supported by getopt(); removed 'Found viruses'
    from summary, clamscan stops file scanning after first virus
 -) fixed old problem with scanning stdin
 -) removed amavisd-patch - strange problems have been reported
 
 OpenAntiVirus Update is a great tool written by Matthew A. Grant
 <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz> and it will be the primary updater for ClamAV
 in the near future. In contrast to freshclam it has proxy support and many
 specific features. Please check clamdoc for more informations and how to
 obtain it.
 
 
 0.15 Notes
 ----------
 
 This version contains minor bugfixes only, such as:
     -) multiple fixes in freshclam (it has problems, when one of the
        hosts wasn't accessible), there were logic flaws in the code
     -) fixed problem with password protected archives (unpackers were waiting
        for password)
 
 New features:
     -) OpenBSD support (thanks to Kamil Andrusz <wizz@mniam.net>)
     -) added support for amavisd, qmail-scanner (see ./support)
 
 There were no major bugs and I was very busy, that's why new version is
 released just today. In the next 2 months, clamav development will be much
 faster. Here are some of my plans:
 
     ~ 0.20 : New pattern-matching algorithm
     ~ 0.30 : clamlib; clamscan and the daemon based on it
 
 There is a new homepage:
 
 		http://clamav.elektrapro.com
 
 Thanks to ElektraPro.com for sponsoring this site (it's very fast).
 Thanks to NERvOus <nervous@nervous.it>.

 snapshots link.
 
 Resource usage limits in 0.14
 -----------------------------
 
 Two new features: --max-files, --max-space have been implemented. If you have
 enabled one of this options, clamscan monitors resource usage (number of
 created files and used space) and stops extractor when it has exceeded
 the limit. You should use these options to protect your machine against
 Denial of Service attacks. In the near future --max-levels (limit for
 recursive archives extracting) and --max-time (spent on checking/extracting
 files) will be implemented.
 
 
 FreeBSD: AMaViS compile problems
 --------------------------------
 
 Please check FAQ.
 
 !!! Strange signatures in VirusSignatures-2002.04.15.10.51.zip !!!
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Last version of signatures was ~90 kb, this version is ~474 kb.
 But I don't understand, why some signatures are mega-huge. When I decoded
 them, they looked like regular files. In CA they were removed from the
 database and I probably add them later, in normal sizes.
 
 Installation :
 --------------
 
 Please view documentation in ./docs. There are several formats - pdf, ps
 and plain latex, if you want to compile it yourself.
 
 You need GNU make (on Solaris you should have gmake).
 It was tested only with gcc 2.9x compilers.
