[Clamav-announce] announcing ClamAV 0.96
Dear ClamAV users,
ClamAV 0.96 introduces new malware detection mechanisms and other significant improvements to the scan engine. The key features of ClamAV 0.96rc2 include:The complete list of changes is available in the ChangeLog file. For upgrade notes and tips please see:
- The Bytecode Interpreter: the interpreter built into LibClamAV allows the signature writers to create and distribute very complex detection routines and remotely enhance the scanner's functionality
- Heuristic improvements: improve the PE heuristics detection engine by adding support of bogus icons and fake PE header information. In a nutshell, ClamAV can now detect malware that tries to disguise itself as a harmless application by using the most common Windows program icons.
- Signature Improvements: logical signature improvements to allow more detailed matching and referencing groups of signatures. Additionally, improvements to wildcard matching on word boundaries and newlines.
- Support for new archives: 7zip, InstallShield and CPIO. LibClamAV can now transparently unpack and inspect their contents.
- Support for new executable file formats: 64-bit ELF files and OS X Universal Binaries with Mach-O files. Additionally, the PE module can now decompress and inspect executables packed with UPX 3.0.
- Support for DazukoFS in clamd
- Performance improvements: overall performance improvements and memory optimizations for a better overall resource utilization experience.
- Native Windows Support: ClamAV will now build natively under Visual Studio. This will allow 3rd Party application developers on Windows to easily integrate LibClamAV into their applications.
