Does anybody know if updating manually works for all three alternatives
(clamav, clamd, clamavmodule)?
And Jules, do you need help crafting a new SA+Clam package?

Cheers,

Alex

> The following are the key features of this release:
>

>      scratch. The most notable difference is that the internal mode has
> been
>      dropped which means that now a working clamd companion is required.
>      The milter now also has its own configuration file.
>
>    - Clamd extensions: The protocol has been extended to lighten the load
>      that clamd puts on the system, solve limitations of the old protocol,
>      and reduce latency when signature updates are received. Fore more
>      information about the new extensions please see the official
>      documentation and the upgrade notes.
>
>    - Improved API: The API used to program ClamAV's engine (libclamav) has
>      been redesigned to use modern object-oriented techniques and solves
>      various API/ABI compatibility issues between old and new releases.
>      You can find more information in Section 6 of clamdoc.pdf and in
>      the upgrade notes.
>
>    - ClamdTOP: This is a new program that allows system administrators to
>      monitor clamd. It provides information about the items in the clamd's
>      queue, clamd's memory usage, and the version of the signature
> database,
>      all in real-time and in nice curses-based interface.
>
>    - Memory Pool Allocator: Libclamav now includes its own memory pool
>      allocator based on memory mapping. This new solution replaces the
>      traditional malloc/free system for the copy of the signatures that
>      is kept in memory. As a result, clamd requires much less memory,
>      particularly when signature updates are received and the database is
>      loaded into memory.
>
>    - Unified Option Parser: Prior to version 0.95 each program in ClamAV's
>      suite of programs had its own set of runtime options. The new general
>      parser brings consistency of use and validation to these options
> across
>      the suite. Some command line switches of clamscan have been renamed
>      (the old ones will still be accepted but will have no effect and will
>      result in warnings), please see clamscan(1) and clamscan --help for
>      the details.
