We are excited to announce that ClamAV 1.4 is now designated as our latest Long-Term Stable (LTS) release.
Previously, we planned to announce 1.5 as the next LTS version at the end of 2024. However, unforeseen challenges have delayed the 1.5 release, leading us to choose version 1.4 for long-term support. We apologize for any inconvenience that our delay in the announcement may have caused. The version support dates for ClamAV 1.4 are amended as follows:
Key Dates:

  *   Initial 1.4 Release Date: August 15, 2024
  *   Patch Versions Continue Until: August 15, 2027
  *   DB Downloads Allowed Until: August 15, 2028

For specific details, please read the ClamAV EOL Policy<https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html>.
Looking ahead, the beta version of ClamAV 1.5 will soon be available for community review. This version will focus on resolving FIPS mode compatibility issues for newer distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Stay tuned for further updates.
Thank you for your continued support.
