Changes to ClamAV end-of-life policy and a new Long Term Support policy

Today, we're announcing changes to the ClamAV End-of-Life (EOL) policy to include a new Long Term Support program.

ClamAV 0.104.0 released

ClamAV 0.104.0 is available as an official release as of today.

We are also announcing a new Long Term Support (LTS) program today in an update to our End-of-Life (EOL) policy. The LTS will start retroactively with ClamAV 0.103, the previous feature release. This new LTS policy extends the life of 0.103 up through September 2023 and will facilitate the production of more frequent feature releases while enabling users to rely on a supported version for years to come if they cannot keep pace with the feature release cadence. For full details about the Long Term Support program, you can see the LTS announcement blog post and review the LTS policy in our online documentation.

We're also introducing new install packages to make it easier for folks to upgrade without having to build ClamAV from source and without having to wait for a community volunteer to package the latest release. You can find the new install packages on the ClamAV.net Downloads Page.
