0.99
----
*Highlights* for the second beta of ClamAV 0.99 include:
- New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the recent
blog post for more details on the new on-access capabilities.
- Improved support for YARA rules including private rules,
referencing other rules, and YARA "include" files.
- Configurable default password list to attempt zip file
decryption.
- TIFF support.
- ./configure options for YARA.
- upgrade Windows pthread library to 2.9.1.
- a new signature target type for uncategorized files.
ClamAV 0.99 contains major new features and changes. Particularly,
if you are using clamd on-access scanning or have applications using
all-match mode, you will want to review the changes and make any necessary
adjustments before using ClamAV 0.99.
- Processing of YARA rules(some limitations- see signatures.pdf).
- Support in ClamAV logical signatures for many of the features
added for YARA, such as Perl Compatible Regular Expressions,
alternate strings, and YARA string attributes. See signatures.pdf
for full details.
- New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the recent blog
post and clamdoc.pdf for details on the new on-access capabilities.
- A new ClamAV API callback function that is invoked when a virus
is found. This is intended primarily for applications running in
all-match mode. Any applications using all-match mode must use
the new callback function to record and report detected viruses.
- Configurable default password list to attempt zip file decryption.
- TIFF file support.
- Upgrade Windows pthread library to 2.9.1.
- A new signature target type for designating signatures to run
against files with unknown file types.
- Improved fidelity of the "data loss prevention" heuristic
algorithm. Code supplied by Bill Parker.
