New features added to freshclam: - Update signature definitions over HTTPS. - Support for HTTP protocol v1.1 (formerly v1.0). - New libfreshclam library with an all new API and versioning separate from libclamav (v2.0.0). This library is now build and installed alongside libclamav as a hard dependency of freshclam. - The ability to opt-in and opt-out of standard and optional official ClamAV databases (ExtraDatabase, ExcludeDatabase) - The option to specify the protocol and port number of official and private mirror servers. - Support for additional types of proxy servers beyond plain HTTP (SOCKS 4, SOCKS 5). Features removed from freshclam: - Mirror management (mirrors.dat) file. This feature is no longer needed as official signature databases are distributed using a paid content delivery network (Cloudflare). This commit also adds the following features for Windows users: - The clamsubmit tool. - The json-c library dependency, which will enable the --gen-json option in clamscan. - Third party libraries under the win32/3rdparty directory have been removed. Developers will need to build the libraries separately from ClamAV and provide the headers and lib/dll library files the same way they do for OpenSSL. This includes libxml2, pthread-win32, bzip2, zlib, pcre2 as well as new dependencies: curl, json-c. Developers are encouraged to use the build tool Mussels to simplify this task.
