Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, revamped on-access scanning
for Linux, and other new features join the many great features of ClamAV:
- Processing of YARA rules(some limitations- see signatures.pdf).
- Support in ClamAV logical signatures for many of the features
added for YARA, such as Perl Compatible Regular Expressions,
alternate strings, and YARA string attributes. See signatures.pdf
for full details.
- New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the recent blog
post and clamdoc.pdf for details on the new on-access capabilities.
- A new ClamAV API callback function that is invoked when a virus
is found. This is intended primarily for applications running in
all-match mode. Any applications using all-match mode must use
the new callback function to record and report detected viruses.
- Configurable default password list to attempt zip file decryption.
- TIFF file support.
- Upgrade Windows pthread library to 2.9.1.
- A new signature target type for designating signatures to run
against files with unknown file types.
- Improved fidelity of the "data loss prevention" heuristic
algorithm. Code supplied by Bill Parker.
- Support for LZMA decompression within Adobe Flash files.
- Support for MSO attachments within Microsoft Office 2003 XML files.
- A new sigtool option(--ascii-normalize) allowing signature authors
to more easily generate normalized versions of ascii files.
- Windows installation directories changed from \Program Files\Sourcefire\
ClamAV to \Program Files\ClamAV or \Program Files\ClamAV-x64.
