I am all for the changes (just something else on my list each release -
life as usual :).  What would help me is a single succint document that
lists critical stuff like this for packagers (maybe NewStuff, to follow
exim's example?).  I do read the Changelog, and try to keep abreast of
CVS, but some of the changes weren't even in CVS (clamd.conf, IIRC) and
did take me by surprise.  I am still pondering how best to mess with
people's config files without upsetting anyone :)

ClamAV/Debian users - now's your chance to pick the defaults from the
new options.  Any one want anything/hate anything strongly, please write
me (off list) and let me know.

Thanks everybody for your hard work,
