+ClamAV 0.95 introduces many bugfixes, improvements and additions. To make |
|
| 5 |
+the transition easier, we put various tips and upgrade notes on this page: |
|
| 6 |
+https://wiki.clamav.net/Main/UpgradeNotes095. For detailed list of changes |
|
| 7 |
+and bugfixes, please see the ChangeLog. |

+The following are the key features of this release: |
|
| 10 |
+ |
|
| 11 |
+ - Google Safe Browsing support: in addition to the heuristic and signature |
|
| 12 |
+ based phishing detection mechanisms already available in ClamAV, the |
|
| 13 |
+ scanner can now make use of the Google's blacklists of suspected |
|
| 14 |
+ phishing and malware sites. The ClamAV Project distributes a constantly |
|
| 15 |
+ updated Safe Browsing database, which can be automatically fetched by |
|
| 16 |
+ freshclam. For more information, please see freshclam.conf(5) and |
|
| 17 |
+ http://safebrowsing.clamav.net. |
|
| 18 |
+ |
|
| 19 |
+ - New clamav-milter: The program has been redesigned and rewritten from |
|
| 20 |
+ scratch. The most notable difference is that the internal mode has been |
|
| 21 |
+ dropped which means that now a working clamd companion is required. |
|
| 22 |
+ The milter now also has its own configuration file. |
|
| 23 |
+ |
|
| 24 |
+ - Clamd extensions: The protocol has been extended to lighten the load |
|
| 25 |
+ that clamd puts on the system, solve limitations of the old protocol, |
|
| 26 |
+ and reduce latency when signature updates are received. For more |
|
| 27 |
+ information about the new extensions please see the official |
|
| 28 |
+ documentation and the upgrade notes. |
|
| 29 |
+ |
|
| 30 |
+ - Improved API: The API used to program ClamAV's engine (libclamav) has |
|
| 31 |
+ been redesigned to use modern object-oriented techniques and solves |
|
| 32 |
+ various API/ABI compatibility issues between old and new releases. |
|
| 33 |
+ You can find more information in Section 6 of clamdoc.pdf and in |
|
| 34 |
+ the upgrade notes. |
|
| 35 |
+ |
|
| 36 |
+ - ClamdTOP: This is a new program that allows system administrators to |
|
| 37 |
+ monitor clamd. It provides information about the items in the clamd's |
|
| 38 |
+ queue, clamd's memory usage, and the version of the signature database, |
|
| 39 |
+ all in real-time and in nice curses-based interface. |
|
| 40 |
+ |
|
| 41 |
+ - Memory Pool Allocator: Libclamav now includes its own memory pool |
|
| 42 |
+ allocator based on memory mapping. This new solution replaces the |
|
| 43 |
+ traditional malloc/free system for the copy of the signatures that |
|
| 44 |
+ is kept in memory. As a result, clamd requires much less memory, |
|
| 45 |
+ particularly when signature updates are received and the database is |
|
| 46 |
+ loaded into memory. |
|
| 47 |
+ |
|
| 48 |
+ - Unified Option Parser: Prior to version 0.95 each program in ClamAV's |
|
| 49 |
+ suite of programs had its own set of runtime options. The new general |
|
| 50 |
+ parser brings consistency of use and validation to these options across |
|
| 51 |
+ the suite. Some command line switches of clamscan have been renamed |
|
| 52 |
+ (the old ones will still be accepted but will have no effect and will |
|
| 53 |
+ result in warnings), please see clamscan(1) and clamscan --help for |
|
| 54 |
+ the details. |
