I have just released a new beta version, 4.34.2.

This version contains the new MIME-Base64 and MIME-tools packages, so you
will definitely need to run the install scripts, and not just copy over the
new MailScanner code.
This version of MailScanner will *not* work securely with older versions of
the MIME-tools or MIME-Base64 packages.

The Change Log currently looks like this:

* New Features and Improvements *
- Updated the Qmail support. See opencomputing.sf.net for more info on Qmail.
- Changed default supplied values for a few settings. This will have no effect
   on upgraded installations, but will improve resource use for new
   installations, such as not quarantining silent viruses which is pretty
   much a waste of disk space and i/o load.
- Added POSIX back-compatibility switches to scripts wanting to use "tail".
- Added "Remove These Headers" setting to allow arbitrary headers, such as
   delivery receipt requests, to be removed from mail.
- Implemented MCP support for SpamAssassin 3.0.0.
- Published packages for RPM and non-RPM systems to install ClamAV and
   SpamAssassin 3.
- Adapted code to run with MIME-tools 5.412.
- Removed most of the MIME-tools version checks as the new code doesn't
   specify versions for its components.
- Added a load more optional modules to the version number list so we get
   all the modules required by SpamAssassin 3 and Mail::ClamAV.
- Added MIME-tools 5.412 and MIME-Base64 3.03. You must have 3.01 or newer now.
- Updated Catalan reports.
- Added support for NOD32 2.04.

* Fixes *
- Fixed another Postfix perl buffering error on a few OS's.
- Added remaining MCP definitions to languages.conf files.
