Does anybody know if updating manually works for all three alternatives (clamav, clamd, clamavmodule)?<br>And Jules, do you need help crafting a new SA+Clam package?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Alex<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Dear ClamAV users,<br>
<br>
ClamAV 0.95rc1 introduces many bugfixes, improvements and additions. To make<br>
the transition easier, we put various tips and upgrade notes on this page:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.clamav.net/Main/UpgradeNotes095" target="_blank">https://wiki.clamav.net/Main/UpgradeNotes095</a><br>
<br>
The following are the key features of this release:<br>
<br>
- New clamav-milter: The program has been redesigned and rewritten from<br>
scratch. The most notable difference is that the internal mode has been<br>
dropped which means that now a working clamd companion is required.<br>
The milter now also has its own configuration file.<br>
<br>
- Clamd extensions: The protocol has been extended to lighten the load<br>
that clamd puts on the system, solve limitations of the old protocol,<br>
and reduce latency when signature updates are received. Fore more<br>
information about the new extensions please see the official<br>
documentation and the upgrade notes.<br>
<br>
- Improved API: The API used to program ClamAV's engine (libclamav) has<br>
been redesigned to use modern object-oriented techniques and solves<br>
various API/ABI compatibility issues between old and new releases.<br>
You can find more information in Section 6 of clamdoc.pdf and in<br>
the upgrade notes.<br>
<br>
- ClamdTOP: This is a new program that allows system administrators to<br>
monitor clamd. It provides information about the items in the clamd's<br>
queue, clamd's memory usage, and the version of the signature database,<br>
all in real-time and in nice curses-based interface.<br>
<br>
- Memory Pool Allocator: Libclamav now includes its own memory pool<br>
allocator based on memory mapping. This new solution replaces the<br>
traditional malloc/free system for the copy of the signatures that<br>
is kept in memory. As a result, clamd requires much less memory,<br>
particularly when signature updates are received and the database is<br>
loaded into memory.<br>
<br>
- Unified Option Parser: Prior to version 0.95 each program in ClamAV's<br>
suite of programs had its own set of runtime options. The new general<br>
parser brings consistency of use and validation to these options across<br>
the suite. Some command line switches of clamscan have been renamed<br>
(the old ones will still be accepted but will have no effect and will<br>
result in warnings), please see clamscan(1) and clamscan --help for<br>
the details.<br>
