Updated: clamav-0.93-1

The cygwin clamav packages (Clam AntiVirus - GPL anti-virus
toolkit)
has been updated to 0.93-1.

Cygwin Changes:
============
clamdscan is deliberately broken - at least for me.
I couldn't check so far why it hangs, but I wanted to bring
-1 out
even without this tool. Please use clamscan instead so far.

0.93 News
========

This release introduces many new features and engine
enhancements, please
see the notes below for the list of major changes. The most
visible one
is the new logic in scan limits which affects some command
line and config
options of clamscan and clamd. Please see clamscan(1) and
clamd.conf(5)
and the example config file for more information on the new
options.

Most important changes include:

  * libclamav:
    - New logic in scan limits: provides much more efficient
protection against
      DoS attacks but also results in different command line
and config options
      to clamscan and clamd (see below)
    - New/improved modules: unzip, SIS, cabinet, CHM, SZDD,
text normalisator,
      entity converter
    - Improved filetype detection; filetype definitions can
be remotely updated
    - Support for .cld containers (which replace .inc
directories)
    - Improved pattern matcher and signature formats
    - More efficient scanning of HTML files
    - Many other improvements

  * clamd:
    - NEW CONFIG FILE OPTIONS: MaxScanSize, MaxFileSize,
MaxRecursion, MaxFiles
    - ** THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED **:
MailMaxRecursion,
      ArchiveMaxFileSize, ArchiveMaxRecursion,
ArchiveMaxFiles,
      ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio, ArchiveBlockMax

  * clamscan:
    - NEW CMDLINE OPTIONS: --max-filesize, --max-scansize
    - REMOVED OPTIONS: --block-max, --max-space,
--max-ratio

  * freshclam:
    - NEW CONFIG OPTION CompressLocalDatabase
    - NEW CMDLINE SWITCH --no-warnings
    - main.inc and daily.inc directories are no longer used
by ClamAV; please
      remove them manually from your database directory

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.

The cygwin clamav package comes in three parts:

clamav:      the executables and binaries

libclamav-devel: development resources (headers, static- and
import
          libraries)
