That should do a good job of telling you about the NEW options. I'm not sure how well it will work for obsolete options. I guess it depends on how verbose the devs are in the config file when they change the options. This method also has the disadvantage of requiring you to install the new version before you can see the changes (or at least opening up the tarball to pull out the new config file). However... as I pointed out in my previous email, it appears that we already have what is being requested in the upgrade notes in the wiki. The wiki page is linked from the download page on ClamAV.net. So as long as the devs continue to update these notes as they did for v0.93, everything is good. -- Bowie _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
