[clamav-users] End of life (EOL) policy change, 0.103 one year extension, 0.105 past end of life

Hi Paul,

Unlike Java or C#, Rust does not have any additional runtime library requirement.

Regards,
Micah

Micah,

Great decision!

I was worried about needing Rust on some of our systems. Not only for compiling, but doesn't Rust also need its own run time libraries?

I'm still trying to figure out how to move from iptables to nftables, so not having also to use Rust "immediately" is a relief.

(They claim nftables is better, but their automatic translator doesn't handle all of the options iptables supported. This is probably because it looks that they just arbitrarily dropped some matchers, like 'u32', from the underlying engine.)

>
>   *   Expected End of Life (EOL): Sept. 14, 2024
>   *   Patch versions continue until: Sept. 14, 2024

> 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.
