are freshclam versions <0.100 blocked? Because they seem to support cdiffs.
I understand the rest.

Yes. But we can’t have infinite amounts of versions of downloads sticking
around. People have boxes and cronjobs long forgotten sitting there
attempting to download the definitions for version 0.84. If we were to
allow downloads for every version, we might as well shut down the project.
Plus, it’s security software…. Update it!
It is becoming more and more necessary to enforce these cut off points
because of many reasons. Load to the mirror network being one. So, .100,
and .101 will continue to be supported for a bit, but soon, we’re going to
have to cut those off too.
Do those versions cause some additional problems for your mirrors?
Yes. It’s at least two more versions downloading. Every version adds
additional bandwidth consumption to the mirror network.
are there different versions of clamav databases for different versions of
clamav scanner?
I remember that few years ago, new signature was intentionally put to
database to crash make older clamav versions fail, but with proper message.
That one indicated there was only one version available at that time.
