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. -- Joel Esler | Talos: Manager | [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> --_000_0051A717DE6E41C1A57F517797B32D9Eciscocom_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-= 1"> <base> </head> <body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break:= after-white-space;" class=3D""> <base class=3D""> <div class=3D"Apple-Mail-URLShareUserContentTopClass"><br class=3D""> </div> <div class=3D"Apple-Mail-URLShareWrapperClass"> <blockquote type=3D"cite" style=3D"border-left-style: none; color: inherit;= padding: inherit; margin: inherit;" class=3D""> <div class=3D""> <div class=3D"original-url"><br class=3D""> <a href=3D"http://blog.clamav.net/2018/01/clamav-version-number-adjustment.= html?utm_source=3Ddlvr.it&utm_medium=3Dtwitter&utm_campaign=3DFeed%= 3A+Clamav+%28ClamAV%C2%AE%29" class=3D"">http://blog.clamav.net/201= 8/01/clamav-version-number-adjustment.html?utm_source=3Ddlvr.it&utm_med= ium=3Dtwitter&utm_campaign=3DFeed%3A+Clamav+%28ClamAV%C2%AE%29<= /a><br class=3D""> <br class=3D""> </div> <div id=3D"article" role=3D"article" style=3D"text-rendering: optimizeLegib= ility; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin: = 0px; padding: 0px;" class=3D"georgia exported"> <!-- This node will contain a number of div.page. --> <div class=3D"page" style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; max-width: 100%;"> <h1 class=3D"title" style=3D"font-size: 1.95552em; line-height: 1.2141em; m= argin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; -webkit-hyphens: manual; max-width: 1= 00%;"> ClamAV Version number adjustment</h1> This is a heads up to the ClamAV community, we are changing our version num= bering scheme as follows.
