    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

This will mature into the stable version tomorrow unless anyone has any
problems with it.
Mostly some more bug-fixes for people.
Full Change Log is below.

I would be very grateful if you could test out this version and check I
haven't made any dumb mistakes :-)

* New Features and Improvements *
- If the AttachmentWarning message put into a message is empty (zero-length)
  then the empty attachment won't be added to the message at all.
- Added scanning of PE's by default to clamavmodule scanner.
- Added feature when IP address in a ruleset has all 4 numbers, so that a
  full string match is done against the client IP, not a substring match.
- Added support for output from latest F-Prot and archive bomb detection.
- Set all virus scanners to SUPPORTED so no tweaking needed by users.
