The latest stable upstream release.
Changes in the 0.88.6 release include better handling of network
problems in freshclam and other minor bugfixes.
0.88.5 fixes a crash in the CHM unpacker and a heap overflow in the
function rebuilding PE files after unpacking.

The ClamAV developers encourage all users to give a try to the latest
beta version of 0.90, which buildsystem doesn't work yet with cygwin.

Release focus:
Minor bugfixes fixes

* Bugfixes:
- freshclam: apply timeout patch from Everton da Silva Marques
   <everton*lab.ipaccess.diveo.net.br> (new options: ConnectTimeout and
   ReceiveTimeout)
- clamd: change stack size at the right place (closes bug#103)
   Patch from Jonathan Chen <jon+clamav*spock.org>
- libclamav/petite.c: sanity check the number of rebuilt sections
   (speeds up handling of malformed files)
- libclamav/rebuildpe.c: fix possible heap overflow [IDEF1597]
- libclamav/chmunpack.c: fix possible crash [IDEF1736]
- freshclam/manager.c: "Cache-Control: no-cache" is now disabled by
   default. If you're behind a broken proxy you can recompile freshclam
   with --enable-no-cache.

About:
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose of
this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with
the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use in your own software.
