 Welcome to ClamAV 0.98.5! ClamAV 0.98.5 includes important new features
 for collecting and analyzing file properties. Software developers and
ec8be1f5
 analysts may collect file property meta data using the ClamAV API for
 subsequent analysis by ClamAV bytecode programs. Using these features
 will require that libjson-c is installed, but otherwise libjson-c is not
 needed.
