We have rolled the recent patch into Sophie to produce a version that handles the new SAVI semaphore issue. Since v3.04rc2 has been in circulation for some time now, it seemed safe to call it a real release. Note that on the Linux platform only this new v3.04 will work with versions of Sophos Anti- Virus later than 3.93 (May 2005). Sophos have confirmed that they will not be reversing the changes that caused SAVI to report files as corrupt when scanned by Sophie in daemon mode. This was due to the introduction of new semaphores to enhance thread safety around the engine. If you want to continue using the latest versions of Sophos Anti-Virus with Sophie v3.x you will need to upgrade to v3.04 soon. The new version is available from http://www.clanfield.info/sophie We will also be revisiting some of the Sophie code in coming weeks to reflect changes in SAVI over the past year. This may also be an opportunity to address any feature wishlists you may have, although I'm not promising anything. Please let me know if there are any issues that you'd like to see addressed.
