This release fixes some issues found in previous releases and includes one new feature, "Malware Statistics Gathering." This is an optional feature that allows users to optionally submit statistics about what they detect in the field. These data are then used to determine what types of malware are the most detected in the field, and in what geographic area. It also allows publishing of summary data on clamav.net, where users can monitor the latest threats.
