-ClamAV 0.99.2 is a release of bug fixes and minor enhancements.
4
+Welcome to ClamAV 0.99.3. In this release, we have included many code
5
+submissions from the ClamAV community:
6
+    - Interfaces to Prelude open source SIEM.
7
+    - Visual Studio 2015 for building Microsoft Windows binaries.
8
+    - Support libmspack code internally or as a shared object library.
9
+    - Linking with openssl 1.1.0.
10
+    - Numerous code patches, typos, and compiler warnings.
5 11
 
6
-    - fix ups improving the reliability of several ClamAV file parsers.
7
-    - sigtool now decodes file type signatures (e.g., daily.ftm CVD file).
8
-    - now supporting libpcre2 in addition to libpcre.
9
-    - systemd support for clamd and freshclam. Patch provided by 
10
-      Andreas Cadhalpun.
11
-    - fixed builds on Mac OS X 10.10 & 10.11.
12
-    - improved debug info for certificate metadata.
13
-    - improved freshclam messaging when using a proxy.
14
-    - fixed some freshclam functionality when using private mirrors.
15
-    - clamd refinements of open file limitations on Solaris. Patch by
16
-      Jim Morris
17
-    - clamav-milter signal handling for improved clean up during
18
-      termination.
12
+Additionally, we have introduced important changes and new features in
13
+ClamAV 0.99.3, including:
14
+    - Deprecating internal LLVM code support. The configure script has changed
15
+      to search the system for an installed instance of the LLVM development
16
+      libraries, and to otherwise use the bytecode interpreter for ClamAV
17
+      bytecode signatures. Using the deprecated internal LLVM code is possible
18
+      with the command: './configure --with-system-llvm=no'
19
+    - Compute and check PE import table hash (a.k.a. "imphash") signatures.
20
+    - Support file property collection and analysis for MHTML files.
21
+    - Raw scanning of PostScript files.
22
+    - Fix clamsubmit to use the new virus and false positive submission web
23
+      interface.
24
+    - Optionally, flag files with the virus "Heuristic.Limits.Exceeded" when
25
+      size limitations are exceeded.
26
+    - Improve decoders for PDF files.
