ClamAV 0.99.3 beta has been released!
Join us as we welcome ClamAV 0.99.3 beta for testing!  Be sure and grab the=
 beta release on our official ClamAV download site<http://www.clamav.net/do=
wnloads>.

Welcome to ClamAV 0.99.3. In this release, we have included many code
submissions from the ClamAV community:


  *   Interfaces to the Prelude SIEM open source package for collecting Cla=
mAV virus events.
  *   Visual Studio 2015 for building Microsoft Windows binaries.
  *   Support libmspack internal code or as a shared object library. The in=
ternal library is the default and contains additional integrity checks.
  *   Linking with openssl 1.1.0.
  *   Numerous code patches, typos, and compiler warning fixes.


Additionally, we have introduced important changes and new features in
ClamAV 0.99.3, including:


  *   Deprecating internal LLVM code support. The configure script has chan=
ged to search the system for an installed instance of the LLVM development =
libraries, and to otherwise use the bytecode interpreter for ClamAV bytecod=
e signatures. To use the LLVM Just-In-Time compiler for executing bytecode =
signatures, please ensure that the LLVM development package at version 3.6 =
or lower is installed. Using the deprecated LLVM code is possible with the =
command: './configure --with-system-llvm=3D3Dno', but it no longer compile =
on all platforms.
  *   Compute and check PE import table hash (a.k.a. "imphash") signatures.
  *   Support file property collection and analysis for MHTML files.
  *   Raw scanning of PostScript files.
  *   Fix clamsubmit to use the new virus and false positive submission web=
 interface.
  *   Optionally, flag files with the virus "Heuristic.Limits.Exceeded" whe=
n size limitations are exceeded.
  *   Improve decoders for PDF files.


The ClamAV community thanks the following individuals for their ClamAV 0.99=
.3 code submissions:

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Keith Jones
Bill Parker
Chris Miserva
Daniel J. Luke
Matthew Boedicker
Ningirsu
Michael Pelletier
Anthony Chan
Stephen Welker

Following are issues discovered during release testing. For additional info=
rmation, please review the corresponding tickets on bugzilla.clamav.net<htt=
p://bugzilla.clamav.net>:

ab files
11882 - ./configure does not automatically detect libxml2 on FreeBSD 10.3 a=
nd 11.0
11884 - 'sudo make install' on FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.0 leaves files owned by =
root, subsequent make command fails
11885 - clamsubmit not building on FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.0
11887 - Failures of 'make check VG=3D1' on FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.0

We ask that feedback be provided via the ClamAV mailing lists<http://www.cl=
