ClamAV Version number adjustment
This is a heads up to the ClamAV community, we are changing our version num=
bering scheme as follows. Our versions will follow x.y.z (major.minor.patch=
). Major releases will be reserved for major feature additions or changes t=
hat may be incompatible with previous releases. Minor releases will be for =
regular bug fixes and minor feature changes/additions. Patches will be rese=
rved for security fixes to address CVE and other critical bug fixes.

This change was driven by our need to address a security vulnerability rele=
ase to resolve a number of CVEs which will be published shortly. We interna=
lly discussed a number of options, and reviewed these options with a few ke=
y members of the community before making this decision.

What this means for our community members? We will shortly be releasing a 0=
.99.3 release. This release will specifically target the aforementioned CVE=
s. The 0.99.3 betas we had previously shared will be renumbered to 0.100.0 =
instead.

We apologize for any confusion this change will cause, but we feel this wil=
l impact the least number of community members, while allowing us flexibili=
ty to quickly address critical bugs or security issues, without undue issue=
s with other work underway.
