-0.98.1

+0.98.2

 ------

-ClamAV 0.98.1 provides improved support of Mac OS X platform, support for new file types, and 

-quality improvements. These include:

-    - Extraction, decompression, and scanning of files within Apple Disk Image (DMG) format.

+Here are the new features and improvements in ClamAV 0.98.2:

-    - Extraction, decompression, and scanning of files within Extensible Archive (XAR) format.

-      XAR format is commonly used for software packaging, such as PKG and RPM, as well as 

-      general archival.

+    - Support for common raw disk image formats using 512 byte sectors,

+      specifically GPT, APM, and MBR partitioning.

-    - Decompression and scanning of files in "Xz" compression format.

+    - Experimental support of OpenIOC files. ClamAV will now extract file

+      hashes from OpenIOC files residing in the signature database location,

+      and generate ClamAV hash signatures. ClamAV uses no other OpenIOC

+      features at this time. No OpenIOC files will be delivered through

+      freshclam. See openioc.org and iocbucket.com for additional information

+      about OpenIOC.

-    - Recognition of Open Office XML formats.

+    - All ClamAV sockets (clamd, freshclam, clamav-milter, clamdscan, clamdtop)

+      now support IPV6 addresses and configuration parameters.

-    - Improvements and fixes to extraction and scanning of ole formats.

+    - Use OpenSSL file hash functions for improved performance. OpenSSL 

+      is now prerequisite software for ClamAV 0.98.2.

-    - Option to force all scanned data to disk. This impacts only a few file types where

-      some embedded content is normally scanned in memory. Enabling this option

-      ensures that a file descriptor exists when callback functions are used, at a small

-      performance cost. This should only be needed when callback functions are used

-      that need file access.

+    - Improved detection of malware scripts within image files. Issue reported

+      by Maarten Broekman.

-    - Various improvements to ClamAV configuration, support of third party libraries, 

-      and unit tests.

+    - Change to circumvent possible denial of service when processing icons within

+      specially crafted PE files. Icon limits are now in place with corresponding

+      clamd and clamscan configuration parameters. This issue was reported by 

+      Joxean Koret.

-There are also fixes for other minor issues and code quality changes. Please

-see the ChangeLog file for details.

+    - Improvements to the fidelity of the ClamAV pattern matcher, an issue

+      reported by Christian Blichmann.

+

+    - Opt-in collection of statistics. Statistics collected are: sizes and MD5 

+      hashes of files, PE file section counts and section MD5 hashes, and names

+      and counts of detected viruses. Enable statistics collection with the

+      --enable-stats clamscan flag or StatsEnabled clamd configuration

+      parameter.

+

+    - Improvements to ClamAV build process, unit tests, and platform support with

+      assistance and suggestions by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, Scott Kitterman,

+      and Dave Simonson.

+

+    - Patch by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to improve error handling in freshclam.

+

+    - ClamAV 0.98.2 also includes miscellaneous bug fixes and documentation 

+      improvements.

+

+bugs and issues that are addressed in ClamAV 0.98.2:
