-ClamAV 0.95rc1 introduces many bugfixes, improvements and additions. To make
4
-the transition easier, we put various tips and upgrade notes on this page:
5
-https://wiki.clamav.net/Main/UpgradeNotes095
6
-
7
-The following are the key features of this release:
8
-
9
-    - New clamav-milter: The program has been redesigned and rewritten from
10
-      scratch. The most notable difference is that the internal mode has been
11
-      dropped which means that now a working clamd companion is required.
12
-      The milter now also has its own configuration file.
13
-
14
-    - Clamd extensions: The protocol has been extended to lighten the load
15
-      that clamd puts on the system, solve limitations of the old protocol,
16
-      and reduce latency when signature updates are received. For more
17
-      information about the new extensions please see the official
18
-      documentation and the upgrade notes.
19
-
20
-    - Improved API: The API used to program ClamAV's engine (libclamav) has
21
-      been redesigned to use modern object-oriented techniques and solves
22
-      various API/ABI compatibility issues between old and new releases.
23
-      You can find more information in Section 6 of clamdoc.pdf and in
24
-      the upgrade notes.
25
-
26
-    - ClamdTOP: This is a new program that allows system administrators to
27
-      monitor clamd. It provides information about the items in the clamd's
28
-      queue, clamd's memory usage, and the version of the signature database,
29
-      all in real-time and in nice curses-based interface.
30
-
31
-    - Memory Pool Allocator: Libclamav now includes its own memory pool
32
-      allocator based on memory mapping. This new solution replaces the
33
-      traditional malloc/free system for the copy of the signatures that
34
-      is kept in memory. As a result, clamd requires much less memory,
35
-      particularly when signature updates are received and the database is
36
-      loaded into memory.
37
-
38
-    - Unified Option Parser: Prior to version 0.95 each program in ClamAV's
39
-      suite of programs had its own set of runtime options. The new general
40
-      parser brings consistency of use and validation to these options across
41
-      the suite. Some command line switches of clamscan have been renamed
42
-      (the old ones will still be accepted but will have no effect and will
43
-      result in warnings), please see clamscan(1) and clamscan --help for
44
-      the details.
