 Here are the new features and improvements in ClamAV 0.98.2:

dd58abe1
     - Support for common raw disk image formats using 512 byte sectors,
       specifically GPT, APM, and MBR partitioning.

dd58abe1
     - Experimental support of OpenIOC files. ClamAV will now extract file
       hashes from OpenIOC files residing in the signature database location,
       and generate ClamAV hash signatures. ClamAV uses no other OpenIOC
       features at this time. No OpenIOC files will be delivered through
       freshclam. See openioc.org and iocbucket.com for additional information
       about OpenIOC.

     - All ClamAV sockets (clamd, freshclam, clamav-milter, clamdscan, clamdtop)
       now support IPV6 addresses and configuration parameters.

     - Use OpenSSL file hash functions for improved performance. OpenSSL 
       is now prerequisite software for ClamAV 0.98.2.

     - Change to circumvent possible denial of service when processing icons within
       specially crafted PE files. Icon limits are now in place with corresponding
       clamd and clamscan configuration parameters. This issue was reported by 
       Joxean Koret.

     - Improvements to the fidelity of the ClamAV pattern matcher, an issue
       reported by Christian Blichmann.
 
     - Opt-in collection of statistics. Statistics collected are: sizes and MD5 
       hashes of files, PE file section counts and section MD5 hashes, and names
       and counts of detected viruses. Enable statistics collection with the
       --enable-stats clamscan flag or StatsEnabled clamd configuration
       parameter.
 
     - Improvements to ClamAV build process, unit tests, and platform support with
       assistance and suggestions by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, Scott Kitterman,
       and Dave Simonson.
 
     - Patch by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to improve error handling in freshclam.
 
     - ClamAV 0.98.2 also includes miscellaneous bug fixes and documentation 
       improvements.
