-*Highlights* for the second beta of ClamAV 0.99 include:

-    - New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the recent

-      blog post for more details on the new on-access capabilities.

-    - Improved support for YARA rules including private rules,

-      referencing other rules, and YARA "include" files.

-    - Configurable default password list to attempt zip file

-      decryption.

-    - TIFF support.

-    - ./configure options for YARA.

-    - upgrade Windows pthread library to 2.9.1.

-    - a new signature target type for uncategorized files.

+ClamAV 0.99 contains major new features and changes. Particularly,

+if you are using clamd on-access scanning or have applications using

+all-match mode, you will want to review the changes and make any necessary

+adjustments before using ClamAV 0.99.

+    - Processing of YARA rules(some limitations- see signatures.pdf).

+    - Support in ClamAV logical signatures for many of the features

+      added for YARA, such as Perl Compatible Regular Expressions,

+      alternate strings, and YARA string attributes. See signatures.pdf

+      for full details.

+    - New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the recent blog

+      post and clamdoc.pdf for details on the new on-access capabilities.

+    - A new ClamAV API callback function that is invoked when a virus 

+      is found. This is intended primarily for applications running in 

+      all-match mode. Any applications using all-match mode must use 

+      the new callback function to record and report detected viruses.    

+    - Configurable default password list to attempt zip file decryption.

+    - TIFF file support.

+    - Upgrade Windows pthread library to 2.9.1.

+    - A new signature target type for designating signatures to run

+      against files with unknown file types.

     - Improved fidelity of the "data loss prevention" heuristic

       algorithm. Code supplied by Bill Parker.

+    - Support for LZMA decompression within Adobe Flash files.

+    - Support for MSO attachments within Microsoft Office 2003 XML files.

+    - A new sigtool option(--ascii-normalize) allowing signature authors

+      to more easily generate normalized versions of ascii files.
