FYI: 1. the requested functionality has been implemented in SVN (and will be included in 0.94.1): https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1213 2. this is a copy&paste of the README file from the clamav tarball (0.93-0.94): the release notes include information about changes to the config files; all of them have been posted to clamav-announce@ 0.94 ---- Sourcefire and the ClamAV team are pleased to announce the release of ClamAV 0.94. The following are the key features and improvements of this version: - Logical Signatures: The logical signature technology uses operators such as AND, OR and NOT to allow the combination of more than one signature into one entry in the signature database resulting in more detailed and flexible pattern matching. - Anti-phishing Technology: Users can now change the priority and reporting of ClamAV's heuristic anti-phishing scanner within the detection engine process. They can choose whether, when scanning a supicious file, ClamAV should stop scanning and report the phish, or continue to scan in case the file contains other malware (clamd: HeuristicScanPrecedence, clamscan: --heuristic-scan-precedence) - Disassembly Engine: The initial version of the disassembly engine improves ClamAV's detection abilities. - PUA Detection: Users can now decide which PUA signatures should be loaded (clamd: ExcludePUA, IncludePUA; clamscan: --exclude-pua, --include-pua) - Data Loss Prevention (DLP): This version includes a new module that, when enabled, scans data for the inclusion of US formated Social Security Numbers and credit card numbers (clamd: StructuredDataDetection, clamscan: --detect-structured; additional fine-tuning options are available) - IPv6 Support: Freshclam now supports IPv6 - Improved Scanning of Scripts: The normalization of scripts now covers JavaScript - Improved QA and Unit Testing: The improved QA process now includes API testing and new library of test files in various formats that are tested on a wide variety of systems (try running 'make check' in the source directory) For more details, please refer to http://www.clamav.net/press/0.94-WhatsNew.pdf and to the ChangeLog. You may need to run 'ldconfig' after installing this version. ** This version drops the special support for Cygwin. Our QA process showed ** serious problems with ClamAV builds under Cygwin due to some low-level ** incompatibilities in the POSIX compatibility layer, resulting in unreliable ** ClamAV behaviour. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team) 0.93.3 ------ This release fixes a problem in handling of .cld files introduced in 0.93.2. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team) 0.93.2 ------ This release fixes and re-enables the Petite unpacker, improves database loading and solves some other minor issues. 0.93.1 ------ This version improves handling of PDF, CAB, RTF, OLE2 and HTML files and includes various bugfixes for 0.93 issues. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team) 0.93 ---- This release introduces many new features and engine enhancements, please see the notes below for the list of major changes. The most visible one is the new logic in scan limits which affects some command line and config options of clamscan and clamd. Please see clamscan(1) and clamd.conf(5) and the example config file for more information on the new options. Most important changes include: * libclamav: - New logic in scan limits: provides much more efficient protection against DoS attacks but also results in different command line and config options to clamscan and clamd (see below) - New/improved modules: unzip, SIS, cabinet, CHM, SZDD, text normalisator, entity converter - Improved filetype detection; filetype definitions can be remotely updated - Support for .cld containers (which replace .inc directories) - Improved pattern matcher and signature formats - More efficient scanning of HTML files - Many other improvements * clamd: - NEW CONFIG FILE OPTIONS: MaxScanSize, MaxFileSize, MaxRecursion, MaxFiles - ** THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED **: MailMaxRecursion, ArchiveMaxFileSize, ArchiveMaxRecursion, ArchiveMaxFiles, ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio, ArchiveBlockMax * clamscan: - NEW CMDLINE OPTIONS: --max-filesize, --max-scansize - REMOVED OPTIONS: --block-max, --max-space, --max-ratio * freshclam: - NEW CONFIG OPTION CompressLocalDatabase - NEW CMDLINE SWITCH --no-warnings - main.inc and daily.inc directories are no longer used by ClamAV; please remove them manually from your database directory -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team) -- oo .....
