ClamAV 0.101.1 Patch has been released

ClamAV 0.101.1 is an urgent patch release to address an issue in 0.101.0 specifically for developers that depend on libclamav. The issue in 0.101.0 is that clamav.h required supporting headers that were not provided on make install. To address this issue, the internal cltypes.h header has been replaced by a clamav-types.h that is generated on ./configure and will be installed alongside clamav.h.

Other changes

Increased the default CommandReadTimeout to reduce the chance of mail loss if using clamav-milter with the TCP socket. Contribution by Scott Kitterman. Fixes for --with-libjson and --with-libcurl to correctly accept library install path arguments.

Known Issues

Some users have observed crashes the first time running freshclam after upgrading from 0.100 to 0.101. We haven't yet tracked down the source of the issue, but have found that the issue resolves itself and that subsequent calls to freshclam work as expected.

Please download and update to 0.101.1, send us your feedback on ClamAV-Users
