Yes, and we apologize for the length of time it took to get it out. We essentially had to completely rebuild several backend systems after the transition from the former team to the current team. We encountered several more issues than we anticipated, we were able to overcome them, and we're pushing forward with a lot of other rebuilds on our backend to make things faster and provide better coverage. Again, sorry for the length of time, ClamAV is in good hands and we're moving forward at a rapid pace. We just have a lot of work to even out the baseline before we can start working up the "tree" as it were. -- Joel Esler Senior Research Engineer, VRT OpenSource Community Manager Sourcefire _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
