Please join us in welcoming ClamAV 0.99 to the family! The following are th= e 0.99 release notes: ClamAV 0.99 contains major new features and changes. YARA rules, Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, revamped on-access scanning for Linux, and other new features join the many great features of ClamAV: * Processing of YARA rules (some limitations- see signatures.pdf). * Support in ClamAV logical signatures for many of the features added f= or YARA, such as Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, alternate strings, an= d YARA string attributes. See signatures.pdf for full details. * New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the recent blog po= st and clamdoc.pdf for details on the new on-access capabilities. * A new ClamAV API callback function that is invoked when a virus is fo= und. This is intended primarily for applications running in all-match mode.= Any applications using all-match mode must use the new callback function t= o 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. * Support for LZMA decompression within Adobe Flash files. * Support for MSO attachments within Microsoft Office 2003 XML files. * A new sigtool option(--ascii-normalize) allowing signature authors to= more easily generate normalized versions of ascii files. * Windows installation directories changed from \Program Files\Sourcefi= re\ClamAV to \Program Files\ClamAV or \Program Files\ClamAV-x64. PLEASE NOTE: 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 nece= ssary adjustments before using ClamAV 0.99. Users of windows binaries need to be aware of the change of installation directories.
