End of life (EOL) policy change
ClamAV is making a minor change to our EOL \
policy<https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html>.
The original EOL policy stated that Long Term Support (LTS) versions will lose access \
to signature updates on the same date that we end support for additional patch \
versions.
We are changing the policy to allow signature updates for at least one year after we \
stop supporting the release with patch versions.
0.103 support extension
We are also announcing a one-year extension of support for ClamAV 0.103 LTS.
We decided to extend the life of the 0.103 LTS release because of the significant \
changes to the build system in 0.104 and the change in 0.105 requiring the Rust \
programming language toolchain to compile ClamAV.
The one-year support extension does not apply to future LTS releases.
ClamAV 0.103.0 was initially released on Sept. 14, 2020. With the additional year of \
support, and considering the change in the EOL Policy that allows one additional year \
of access for signature updates, this means that EOL dates for ClamAV 0.103 LTS are \
as follows:
* Expected End of Life (EOL): Sept. 14, 2024
* Patch versions continue until: Sept. 14, 2024
* Internal signature load testing until: Sept. 14, 2024
* Database downloads allowed until: Sept. 14, 2025
0.105 EOL
Finally, we would like to remind everyone that as per the EOL Policy, the release of \
ClamAV 1.1 heralds the end of patch versions supporting ClamAV 0.105. There will no \
more patch versions for ClamAV 0.105.
ClamAV 0.105 will continue to have access to signature updates for an additional four \
months after the 1.1 release, which was on May 1, 2023. This means that we may block \
0.105 from further updates after Sept. 1, 2023.
