Folks, I am pleased to let you know of a major new feature to be added to ClamAV. 0.95RC2 will be released next Monday, 16/3/09, which will include support for Google Safe Browsing.
We wish to avoid a major new functionality such as this going into the marketplace untested by adding it as a feature between the release candidate and the full version. Furthermore, we don't want to wait for 0.96 to publish the code, given that the code is ready now and it's a major feature, not something for a minor release such as 0.95.1. Therefore we've decided to publish the extra release candidate for 0.95. 0.95RC2 will have this feature built-in. 0.95 is now due for publication on 23rd March, a slippage of 1 week which I hope you will all accept so that we can ensure that this new feature is fully tested before it goes live on your servers. We expect the functionality will be off by default. The entry in freshclam.conf will be "SafeBrowsing Yes". There is no option in clamd.conf. If the engine finds Google Safe Browsing files in the database directory, ClamAV will enable safe browsing. To turn it off you need to update freshclam.conf and remove the safebrowsing files from the database directory before restarting clamd. The above two points are as of now, and may change between now and Monday.
